Phase Change Materials Market Size, Share, Sales, Analysis, Forecast By Product Type (Organic, Inorganic and Biobased), By Encapsulation Technology (Macro, Micro and Molecular), By End Use Industry (Building & Construction, Packaging & Textiles, Electronics & Transportation and Others), Industry Competition & Player Profiles, 2023 – 2032

The phase change materials market was worth US$ 2.1 billion in 2019 and is expected to reach US$ 10.3 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 19.5% through 2030.  

PCM is also known as phase change material. These are materials whose phase shift is mostly used for storing and releasing heat, from solid to liquid and liquid to solid. In PCMs, energy is saved at a later time for use. A phase change material (PCM) is a product that at phase transition, releases/absorbs enough energy to provide usable heat/cooling. The transformation from one of the first two basic states of matter - solid and liquid - to the other would usually take place. There can also be a phase transition between non-classical states of matter, such as crystal conformity, where the substance goes from conforming to one crystalline structure to conforming to another, which may have a higher or lower state of energy. In several specific commercial applications where energy storage and/or stable temperatures are needed, phase change materials are used, including, among others, heating pads, cooling for telephone switching boxes, and others.

There are many types of materials for phase transition. A collective term for a range of materials such as paraffins, salt hydrates and fatty acids is phase change materials. Many of these PCM products have their own benefits and drawbacks. For instance, so-called eutectic liquids are used for the cooling of deep-frozen applications. One of the major market development factors is driven by the elimination of greenhouse gas pollution legislation and the use of PCMs for climate control and greater comfort. Furthermore, another aspect driving its production is the use of PCM for peak-load shifting. Due to the scope of application in the textile industry due to temperature-balancing properties, the industry is expected to expand. Furthermore, it is also expected that continuous investments by companies in the technical development of micro and macro encapsulation for advanced phase shift content will accelerate the growth of the industry.

Europe dominates the market for Phase Change Materials

In terms of value and volume, Europe is projected to account for the largest market share of phase change materials during the forecast period. This is due to the increased demand for phase change materials in the area in applications such as cold chain & packaging and building & construction. In addition, the existence of strict greenhouse gas emission reduction (GHG) regulations is another factor contributing to its development.
