Growth Factors

The primary energy source for many processes employed worldwide is electrical. One of the key factors driving the market for electricity, which is the need for electrical insulating materials, is the increasing adoption of electrical equipment in both home and industrial applications. The International Energy Agency projects that the energy demand will increase by over 5% in 2021 and 4% in 2022. India’s power demand is anticipated to increase by 8–8.5% in 2022, according to ICRA Ltd. Additionally, India’s energy demand climbed by 12.7% to 707 billion units between April 2021 and September 2021. One of the critical elements driving India’s increasing industrialization is the demand for energy, which in turn is going to the need for electrical insulation materials.

Energy Insulation materials utilized in producing various electrical components include thermoplastics, ceramics, thermosets, and porcelain. Power transformers, distribution transformers, electrical motors and generators, wires and cables, switchgear, batteries, circuit breakers, shackles, pin insulators, and other components are made from these materials. These parts are widely employed in infrastructure-related projects like residential, commercial, and industrial buildings. During the projection period, the market for electrical insulating materials will be driven by the expansion of safety measures and the increased installation of safety components in the construction sector.

Segmental Overview

The market for Electrical Insulation Materials is segmented into type, material, voltage, and application. With a market share of over 25% in the Electrical Insulation Materials market in 2021, the thermosets segment is expected to expand at a considerable CAGR from 2022 to 2030. The materials used to create thermoset insulation typically get stronger when heated. Thermoset insulations have a more muscular endurance for high temperatures than other materials like thermoplastics. Therefore, thermosets like silicone rubber, epoxy resin, and polyimide are frequently chosen for electrical insulation.

The Association of Natural Rubber Producing Countries (ANRPC) reported that the world’s natural rubber (NR) production increased by 13.6% annually in 2021 to reach 941,000 tons. While the expected annual growth rate for the global demand for NR is 0.3%, going 1.210 million tons in 2021. Therefore, the market for electrical insulating materials is expected to be driven by the rising production and consumption of rubber.

Regional Overview

With a revenue share of over 40% in 2021, the Asia Pacific region led the market for electrical insulation materials, and it is expected to continue to rule over the forecast period (2022-2030). The market expansion for electrical insulation materials in the Asia Pacific area is driven by prominent producers such as Nitto Denko Corporation, DuPont Teijin Films, and Vitar Insulation Manufacturers Ltd.

The demand for electrical insulating materials is also fueled by the region’s expanding manufacturing of thermosets and thermoplastics and its abundant supply of raw materials. In addition, the expansion of the area is being aided by rising investments in the energy industry as well as China’s and India’s accelerating industrialization. In India, the manufacturing sector is anticipated to develop by 12.5% in 2021–2022; mining and quarrying by 14.3%; construction by 10.7%; and electricity, gas, and water supply by 8.5%. Therefore, over the projection period, the demand for electrical insulating materials will be driven by the increase in these industries.
