The biggest restraint faced by calcium silicate insulation market is the low awareness regarding the use of insulation products. Energy conservation is a major focal point for all industries including power, food & beverage, and petrochemical. Insulation materials are simple yet significant requirement in any industry dealing with various heat transfer operations. Proper use of insulation materials results in reducing heat loss and, in turn, saves the cost. Lack of awareness for the usage of insulation materials, specifically in developing countries is a major restraint for the market. Increasing demand of renewables sources for electricity generation is another factor restraining the growth of insulation materials including calcium silicate. Renewable energy sources do not require much insulation materials as there are less thermal energy-related operations involved, as compared to conventional counterparts. However, these technologies have their own limitations, such as dependency on weather, low capacity, and large area requirement for installation
