Advanced Phase Change Materials (PCM) Market Overview:
The global advanced phase change materials (PCM) market generated revenue of $691 million in 2015, and is expected to reach $2,434 million by 2022, registering a CAGR of 19.8% from 2016 to 2022.
Phase change materials are used for thermal energy storage, enabling the temporary storage of low- or high-temperature energy for later use. Offering a range of thermal management solutions, PCMs facilitate the ability to manage demand between energy requirements and usage. These materials store and release thermal energy on transitioning from one phase to another, that is, when materials freeze, large amount of energy is released as latent heat fusion or energy of crystallization. Conversely, energy is absorbed from the environment as solids melt into liquid.
The global advanced phase change materials market is segmented based on type, application, and geography. Based on type, it is categorized into organic PCM, inorganic PCM, and bio-based PCM. On the basis of application, it is segregated into building & construction, energy storage, HVAC, shipping & transportation, electronics, textiles, and others.
Global Advanced Phase Change Materials Market Segmentation
Advanced phase change materials find extensive applications in construction & building sector, which is one of the key factor that drives the market growth. Furthermore, factors such as increase in emphasis on energy conservation, expansion in application of advanced phase change materials in the textile sector, rapid urbanization in developing countries and continued technological developments in the field of advanced PCM are expected to fuel the market growth in the near future. However, the high cost of advanced PCM and the lack of awareness among the consumers regarding usage of phase change materials are expected to hinder the market growth.
Top Investment Pocket
Building & construction segment is anticipated to be the top investment pocket in the global advanced phase change materials market, owing to the extensive application of these materials in building interiors and growth of the construction industry in China, India, and Brazil. Moreover, demand for “green” construction is expected to contribute to the growth of the market.
