Growing Cold Storage Applications is driving the market growth
The demand for cold storage technology has experienced a significant surge, driven by the rapid urbanization and industrialization worldwide. Various sectors such as food and beverage, industrial, chemical, and medical industries rely on cold storage for its effective preservation capabilities. Minimizing losses associated with perishable goods has contributed to the widespread adoption of cold storage solutions. Additionally, the growing production of food, drugs, and chemicals has further amplified the demand for cold storage facilities, consequently propelling the growth of the sandwich panels market. This factor drives the Market CAGR.
Additionally, The utilization of aluminum composite panels as a cladding material has been growing due to its favorable properties, such as weather resistance. Including PVDF (Polyvinylidene fluoride) coating in these panels, constituting over 70% of the content, ensures excellent color retention and durability. With its resistance to environmental damage, PVDF-coated aluminum composite panels can maintain their quality for more than two decades, making them suitable for exterior walls of buildings. Additionally, the steel sandwich panel market is driven by increased awareness of energy-efficient buildings, improved thermal performance of sandwich panels, and strict energy conservation regulations. The construction of industrial and commercial buildings presents significant growth opportunities, while partnerships and agreements further contribute to the market's potential growth. For example, BASF and Wiskind joined forces in May 2019 to develop polyurethane sandwich panels with enhanced insulation properties for refrigerated spaces in China's cold chain industries. This collaborative effort aims to create solutions that offer superior fire retardance and higher energy efficiency, enabling up to 95% energy savings in cold chain applications. Thus, these factors drive the Steel Sandwich Panels market revenue.
