Save Energy and the Climate: Ceresana Offers the Worldwide First Study on the Entire European Market for Insulation Materials
Summary
National differences can be considerable: Especially in countries hit hard by the economic crisis in 2008/09, e.g. Spain, Portugal or Greece, the construction sectors suffered dramatic losses.Crucial in determining demand for insulation material in individual countries will be the speed and scope with which respective governments will transcribe EU directives into national law and to which degree the population can be made aware of the necessity to improve the energy efficiency of buildings.The Study in Brief: Chapter 1 provides a presentation and analysis of the European market for insulation materials, including forecasts up to 2021: In addition to revenues, demand and production in each country as well as influencing factors are explained.For the purpose of this study, Russia, the Ukraine, and Turkey are also counted as European countries.Construction Development Central FactorEven though demand for insulation material will not increase as dynamically as it had in the past, legal requirements regarding climate protection still provide positive conditions.Crucial in determining demand for insulation material in individual countries will be the speed and scope with which respective governments will transcribe EU directives into national law and to which degree the population can be made aware of the necessity to improve the energy efficiency of buildings.Renovation and Refurbishment Offering Considerable PotentialIn many countries, the number of new residential and commercial buildings constructed is falling; therefore, renovation and refurbishment of existing structures play an important role in the development of the market for insulation material.
