Phase Change Material Market: Current Analysis and Forecast (2024-2032)

Report Description

Phase Change Material Market Size & Forecast

The phase change material market was valued at USD 1,370.70 million in 2023 and is expected to grow at a robust CAGR of around 20.45% during the forecast period (2024-2032) driven by the growing application in the building and construction industry, which leads to save colossal energy and decrease the environmental impact. Additionally, the burgeoning adoption of electric vehicles globally also acts as a primary catalyst for the phase change material market.

Phase Change Material Market Analysis

Phase Change Material has been considered an effective material in various industries to save energy and increase overall efficiency. Modern society heavily depends on energy, and energy consumption will increase by 48% by 20240, as per the European Commission. With the growing construction industry globally has also boosted the demand for phase change material. As the construction industry booms, the demand for energy efficiency and thermal comfort in buildings has increased drastically in the past few years. These materials are extensively used due to their ability to store and release thermal energy during the phase transition, helping to regulate indoor temperature and reducing the need for conventional heating and cooling systems. Therefore, this leads to significant energy savings for household and commercial buildings. In recent years, the Chinese construction industry has seized the opportunities brought by the new technological revolution and industrial transformation, striving to improve efficiency and reduce energy consumption. As a result, it has achieved continuous transformation and upgrading. For instance, in 2023, according to the report published by the National Bureau of Statistics of China, the construction industry is one of the pillar industries of China’s national economy, with a total output value exceeding 31 trillion yuan (USD 4.34 trillion) in 2022, employing over 52 million people. Hence, the above factors have positively impacted on the market and are expected to show meteoric growth in the forecast period.

Phase Change Material Market Trends

Increasing Applications in the Automotive Sector for Thermal Management

The increasing application due to the increased adoption of phase change material in the automotive sector for thermal management is likely to be a prominent trend in the phase change material market. With the burgeoning adoption of electric vehicles globally, almost 14 million new electric cars were registered in 2023, bringing the total number on the roads to 40 million, an increase of 35% from 2022. With the electrification of vehicles, there’s a growing demand for more efficient thermal management systems to regulate the temperature of batteries, motors, and critical parts. Phase change materials are known for their superior latent heat capacity, acting as heat absorbers without notable temperature increases. This material can release trapped heat into surroundings when no heat is transferred internally, making them reversible heat absorbers. Moreover, PCMs are considered one of the best materials for maintaining thermal uniformity between batteries. Additionally, paraffin wax is a suitable phase change material for charging and discharging a battery cell with a melting point of around 67 C, which is low enough to keep battery cells in a pack at a low temperature. Therefore, with the deployment of PCMs in electric vehicles, there is an increase in battery life without PCMs and an improvement in energy capacity as 90% of the nominal battery capacity is accessible, rather than 60% with air cooling.

Europe Dominated the Phase Change Material Market

The Europe phase change material market has the largest market size in 2023 and is expected to have the same effect in the forecast period. The prominent factors contributing to the region’s growth include a well-developed manufacturing sector, with Germany as its leading manufacturer and exporter of PCMs. Germany has a vast manufacturing sector that provides for automotive, industrial goods, chemical, aerospace, and defense, which uses vast amounts of power and increases energy consumption. Therefore, the adoption of innovative PCMs has been an instrumental sustaining factor for Europe’s dominance. Moreover, the growth of the construction industry has fueled the demand, mainly the increasing focus on green construction in the region, which has also acted as a catalyst for the market that contributed to optimizing heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems, leading to more efficient energy utilization in buildings. For instance, according to the European Construction Industry Federation (FIEC), investment in the non-residential buildings construction segment increased by 2.1% in 2022. Furthermore, various government initiatives have been taken to promote and improve the region’s adoption of phase change material. For instance, the European Union has implemented the “Carbon Credit” initiative. By incorporating phase change material in applications such as building and HVAC, companies will earn 10-20 times more carbon credit than available through using other green insulating materials. This has further encouraged the adoption of PCMs and continued to sharpen the demand in the region.
