Global Mineral Wool Market Growth, Share, Size, Trends and Forecast (2024 - 2030)

This report extensively covers different segments of Global Mineral Wool Market and provides an in depth analysis (including revenue analysis for both historic and forecast periods) for all the market segments. In this report, the analysis for every market segment is substantiated with relevant data points and, insights that are generated from analysis of these data points (data trends and patterns). Mineral wool is a fiber made of natural or synthetic minerals or metal oxides. The synthetic form is generally referred to synthetic materials, including fiberglass, ceramic fibers, and stone wool. One of mineral wool's forms is stone wool, which has the main components of inorganic rock or slag as the main component, typically around 98% and the leftover 2% organic content. The extreme density of Rockwool makes it heavy and unwieldy. Made from molten rock and steel residue, mineral wool is very tough and durable. The rock fibers can get embedded in the skin during installation, causing rashes and itchiness. Old and discarded mineral wool can be recycled to form new insulation products. Slag wool is made from blast furnace slag, a waste byproduct of steel production. The industry estimates that over 90 percent of the slag used for insulation is purchased directly from steel manufacturers. The remaining 10 percent is mined from waste disposal sites and landfills. Quotes for fiberglass insulation have come in at about $10,000. Mineral wool (sold commercially by Rockwool and Knauf) would cost $16,000. The wool market is projected to register a CAGR of 4.8% during the forecast period. The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic globally restricted the transport of goods resulting in inaccessibility of the raw materials and finished goods, due to which manufacturing industry activities have been temporarily ceased.
