Acoustic Insulation Market to Reach USD 29.6 Billion by 2035 as Construction, EVs, and Smart City Projects Drive Growth Across APAC, Europe, USA, and Saudi Arabia

According to the latest analysis by Future Market Insights (FMI), the global acoustic insulation market is projected to expand from USD 16.8 billion in 2025 to USD 29.6 billion by 2035, registering a robust CAGR of 5.8%. The growth is attributed to rising awareness about noise pollution, rapid urbanization, and stronger regulatory frameworks enforcing acoustic and energy performance standards across major economies including Asia-Pacific (APAC), Europe, the United States, and Saudi Arabia.

The study highlights an accelerated demand trajectory driven by construction booms, green building certifications, and technological advances in lightweight, sustainable soundproofing materials. FMI notes that building and construction will remain the largest end-use segment, accounting for 41.8% of the market share in 2025, while glass wool continues to lead the material segment with 36.2% share.

Global Market Outlook

With cities becoming denser and noise levels surpassing safe thresholds, the integration of sound control systems in buildings, vehicles, and industrial equipment has become imperative. FMI’s data suggests that Europe and North America collectively dominate global demand, supported by energy-efficiency codes and noise control regulations. Meanwhile, the Asia-Pacific region is witnessing exponential growth, led by urban infrastructure development, modular construction, and electric mobility adoption.

“Governments across major economies are linking building codes with acoustic and thermal efficiency standards, creating a dual incentive for developers to invest in advanced insulation systems,” FMI analysts stated.

Regional Insights

United States: Urban Densification and Green Construction Standards

The U.S. acoustic insulation market, valued at around USD 5 billion in 2025, represents approximately 20% of global revenues. Growth is being propelled by federal policies emphasizing green buildings and urban noise control.

Regulations such as the Energy Policy Act and the LEED certification framework promote energy-efficient soundproofing materials. Rapid construction in high-density cities, coupled with rising EV adoption, is driving demand for multi-layer foam and fiber-based acoustic insulation across both residential and mobility sectors.

Europe: Sustainability-Driven Acoustic Codes Boost Adoption

Europe remains a leader in the transition toward sustainable insulation technologies. The EU Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) and national noise control laws such as the UK’s Part E Building Regulations are reinforcing mandatory soundproofing in new and refurbished structures.

• Germany, which accounts for nearly 10% of the global market (USD 2.5 billion in 2025), is prioritizing low-carbon, high-performance acoustic materials aligned with the Energy Saving Ordinance (EnEV).
• France is intensifying its focus on urban noise management, with government initiatives encouraging LEED and BREEAM-certified construction.
• The UK continues to witness growing adoption of eco-friendly acoustic systems, registering a projected CAGR of 5.1% through 2035.

Across the continent, retrofitting older buildings and adopting recyclable, fire-resistant glass wool and rock wool materials are key to achieving EU energy and acoustic goals.

Asia-Pacific (APAC): Smart Cities and Industrial Growth Accelerating Demand

The APAC region, led by China, Japan, India, Australia, and South Korea, is emerging as the fastest-growing market, supported by rapid infrastructure expansion and smart city development.

• China is enforcing stricter noise control standards through the Noise Pollution Prevention and Control Law, driving an anticipated 5.9% CAGR.
• Japan, with its dense urban landscape, mandates acoustic compliance via the Building Standard Law, leading to the use of high-performance foamed plastic and composite materials in high-rise and modular construction projects.
• India’s smart city projects are integrating noise reduction technologies into urban planning, aligning with sustainability-focused building codes.
• Australia, governed by the National Construction Code (NCC), is pushing adoption of energy-efficient and acoustic-grade materials, particularly in metropolitan regions such as Sydney and Melbourne.

FMI highlights that manufacturers in APAC are scaling production of extruded polystyrene (XPS) and expanded polystyrene (EPS) to support modular housing and prefabricated structures that prioritize both noise control and thermal performance.

Saudi Arabia: Vision 2030 Fuels Acoustic Modernization

In Saudi Arabia, the acoustic insulation market is advancing rapidly, driven by Vision 2030 megaprojects including NEOM, The Line, and Red Sea developments.

With large-scale urban construction and transport infrastructure projects underway, the nation’s regulatory framework is aligning with global standards for acoustic comfort and sustainable materials.

FMI notes that the growing focus on indoor acoustic environments in luxury residential, hospitality, and healthcare sectors is creating strong market opportunities. Local manufacturers are also collaborating with international insulation producers to localize sustainable materials and support green certification targets.

Material Analysis: Glass Wool Dominates Market Share

Glass wool, composed of recycled glass fibers, remains the leading material segment, holding 36.2% of market share in 2025 and projected to grow at 5.6% CAGR. Its ability to deliver both thermal efficiency and superior sound absorption makes it indispensable in modern building envelopes, HVAC systems, and transportation cabins.

Its eco-friendly composition and compliance with LEED and BREEAM frameworks are propelling its usage in low-carbon and energy-positive building projects worldwide.

Rock wool, valued for its non-combustibility and acoustic damping capabilities, is widely used in high-rise construction, industrial facilities, and fire-resistant applications. Meanwhile, foamed plastic insulations (XPS, EPS) are gaining traction in modular and prefabricated construction, particularly in Asia-Pacific markets.

End-Use Industry Analysis: Construction Remains the Prime Driver

The building and construction segment accounts for 41.8% of total demand in 2025, expanding at a 6.1% CAGR through 2035. Urban housing, commercial complexes, schools, and hospitals are increasingly incorporating soundproofing to comply with stringent building codes.

Retrofitting projects, particularly in North America and Europe, are further enhancing demand for acoustic solutions that improve both comfort and energy efficiency. Meanwhile, rapid industrialization and urban mobility initiatives across Asia and the Middle East are expanding adoption in transportation and industrial insulation applications.
