An air barrier is a system used to control the flow of air in building enclosures. Energy loss and durability & resiliency of the building are the two most important forces that necessitate the usage of air barriers in the building envelopes. Climate zone is another important factor for determining the usage of barrier materials in buildings. Temperature, general climate conditions, and the analysis of dew point fall within the wall cavity play a vital role in the consideration of the type of air barriers to be used. Air barriers in typical non-residential buildings are estimated to reduce air leakage by up to 83 percent, mitigate gas bills by more than 40 percent, and cut down electrical consumption above 25 percent, based on a study performed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
Despite the worrisome situation in 2020, the market for air barriers was not much impacted and experienced a growth of 3.5% in 2020. In the long run, the market seems propitious with extraordinary growth from 2021 onwards, driven by increasing construction activities, a growing need for the reduction in energy loss of buildings, growing concerns about indoor air quality, increasing awareness about green building technologies, and an abrupt increase in raw material prices.

"The fluid-applied barriers segment accounted for the largest market share."
Based on the form type, the air barriers market is segmented into sheet-applied barriers, fluid-applied barriers, and other barriers. Fluid-applied air barriers are anticipated to remain the most preferred category in the years to come, owing to ease of application using a simple and cheap instrument (roller, sprayer, and brush), reduced time and cost of installation, less or no dependency on the installer, and no use of fasteners. The sheet-applied air barrier is also likely to offer significant market opportunities, propelled by its ability to maintain the thickness of the membrane with special mixing material or installation equipment.
Our analysis based on the market segment of the permeability type suggests that the vapor permeable air barrier is expected to remain the dominant as well as the faster-growing segment of the market during the forecast period. The ability to resist air along with water vapor, slow diffusion of water vapor, and aid in resisting the live loads which increase energy efficiency are some key factors, fueling the demand for permeable air barriers.
"The gypsum segment accounted for the largest market share."
Based on the substrate type, the market for air barriers is segmented into gypsum, CMU, OSB, and others. Gypsum is estimated to remain the dominant as well as the fastest-growing substrate type during the forecast period as it is widely used in commercial buildings. Gypsum board, itself is a suitable air barrier material, more economical than other substrates, classified as air barrier material as per ASTM E2178, 12-month exposure warranty, and provides dimensional stability.
"The commercial segment accounted for the largest market share."
Based on end-user type, the market is segmented into industrial, commercial, and residential. Commercial is estimated to remain the largest as well as the fastest-growing end-user type during the forecast period. The biggest growth driver is an increased awareness about moisture intrusion with early adopter design professionals in states such as Vermont, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, West Virginia, New York, Illinois, and Massachusetts.
"North America accounted for the largest market share."
In terms of region, North America is expected to continue to remain the largest market for air barriers during the forecast period. The USA and Canada have been the growth engines of the North American market, driven by an extremely cold climate, stringent regulations, rapid urbanization, and increased awareness of energy-efficient and economical green buildings. One of the key factors behind the dominance of the region is the early adoption of air barriers by the design professionals and architectures in the US states, such as Connecticut, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, New York, Illinois, and Vermont, which recognized the importance of an efficient air barrier system.
