Insulated Concrete Form Market Analysis

The insulated concrete form (ICF) market is expected to grow at a CAGR of more than 4% during the forecast period.

The market was negatively impacted by COVID-19 in 2020. Due to nationwide lockdowns causing supply chain disruptions, construction work and other activities were put on hold to curb the spreading of the virus, thereby negatively affecting the market. However, the market is projected to grow steadily, owing to increased building and construction activities during the forecast period.

  • The factors driving the growth of the market studied are the demand for energy-efficient buildings, increased construction of high-rise buildings, increased preparedness toward disasters, and reduced construction time.
  • Factors such as the high cost of ICF are expected to restrain the growth of the market studied.
  • Increasing promotion and awareness of ICF among manufacturers and consumers and the growing role of EPS in the construction industry are likely to act as opportunities for the growth of the market during the forecast period.
  • North America accounted for the highest market share in the ICF market globally, and the Asia-Pacific is likely to dominate the market during the forecast period.

Insulated Concrete Form (ICF) Market Size Summary

The insulated concrete form (ICF) market is poised for steady growth, driven by the increasing demand for energy-efficient buildings and the construction of high-rise structures. The market experienced setbacks due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which caused supply chain disruptions and halted construction activities. However, the resurgence in building and construction activities is expected to propel the market forward. Key factors contributing to market expansion include heightened disaster preparedness, reduced construction time, and the growing awareness and promotion of ICF among manufacturers and consumers. Despite the high cost of ICF posing a challenge, opportunities abound with the expanding role of expanded polystyrene (EPS) in the construction industry. North America currently holds the largest market share, while the Asia-Pacific region is anticipated to dominate in the coming years.

In the residential sector, the demand for ICF is bolstered by stringent building codes mandating energy efficiency, particularly in Canada and the United States. The availability of cost-effective ICF forms that offer comparable efficiency to alternatives is driving adoption, especially in high-end custom homes and multi-family units. The Indian government's push for housing construction and significant investments in the sector are set to enhance market growth, with similar trends observed in Germany and other regions. In the Asia-Pacific, major residential projects and green building initiatives are expected to further influence ICF consumption. The market is characterized by consolidation, with major players like RPM International Inc., Amvic Inc., and Logix Build Solutions Ltd. holding significant shares. Recent acquisitions and product launches, such as Amvic Inc.'s expanded polystyrene building block, are indicative of strategic moves to strengthen market positions.
