Advanced PCMs Market in South Korea is Projected to Reach a Value of US$ 802.8 Million by 2034.

 

The global advanced phase change material (PCM) market is entering a phase of rapid expansion, driven by the rising focus on energy efficiency and sustainable technologies. The global advanced phase change material market is projected to advance at a CAGR of 14.8% and climb to a value of US$ 15.04 billion by 2034.

Market Overview and Growth Trajectory

Advanced phase change materials, including organic, inorganic, and bio-based types, are gaining traction across multiple industries such as building & construction, textile & protective clothing, and energy systems.

In 2024, the global market size is estimated at around US$ 3.78 billion, marking the beginning of a decade of strong growth. Rising energy costs, environmental regulations, and the push for low-carbon technologies are accelerating the adoption of PCMs.

By 2034, the market is expected to quadruple in value, reaching US$ 15.04 billion, supported by increasing investments in green construction, climate-responsive textiles, and advanced energy storage solutions.

Segment Dynamics: Organic, Inorganic, and Bio-based PCMs

Among the key product categories, inorganic PCMs are projected to dominate the market, accounting for nearly half of the total share by 2034. Their higher thermal conductivity, cost efficiency, and stability across broad temperature ranges make them particularly suitable for applications in construction, cold chain logistics, and renewable energy systems.

Organic PCMs, such as paraffin-based and fatty acid-based compounds, continue to attract attention due to their flexibility, chemical stability, and recyclability. Meanwhile, bio-based PCMs are gaining interest as industries transition toward more environmentally friendly materials, offering reduced carbon footprints and safer handling.

In building & construction, PCMs are integrated into walls, floors, windows, and HVAC systems to enhance thermal comfort and reduce energy consumption. The textile & protective clothing sector employs PCMs to develop garments that regulate body temperature in extreme environments.

Regional Highlights

East Asia is emerging as the largest regional market for advanced PCMs, projected to hold around 38% of the global share by 2034. Government incentives promoting energy efficiency and decarbonization are driving the regional market forward, with China, Japan, and South Korea at the forefront of adoption.

North America follows closely, expected to account for about 29% of the global share. The United States market, in particular, is witnessing increasing PCM use in green building projects, residential energy systems, and smart textiles. Canada and Japan are also set to record significant growth, supported by their strong industrial bases and commitment to sustainable development.

Recent Developments and Competitive Landscape

The competitive landscape of the advanced PCM market is defined by innovation, expansion, and collaboration. Leading manufacturers are focusing on new production facilities, improved material formulations, and partnerships with end-user industries to enhance their market presence.

Cryopak, a notable player in temperature-controlled packaging, expanded its operations with a new facility in Atlanta to strengthen supply capabilities across the U.S. market. Similar strategic moves by other players highlight the industry’s focus on scaling production capacity and responding to rising demand for efficient thermal management solutions.

In addition to capacity expansion, companies are investing heavily in research and development of nanotechnology-enhanced and hybrid PCM formulations. These innovations aim to improve thermal conductivity, cycling stability, and durability, enabling PCMs to perform better under demanding conditions. Sustainability is another major focus area, with manufacturers collaborating with construction and textile companies to integrate bio-based PCMs into eco-friendly products.

Prominent companies operating in the market include BASF SE, Sasol Germany GmbH, Cryopak, Climator Sweden AB, Honeywell International Inc., Outlast Technologies LLC, PureTemp LLC, Rubitherm Technologies GmbH, and Entropy Solutions, among others. These firms are actively engaged in strategic partnerships, mergers, and technological upgrades to strengthen their global footprint.

The competition in the PCM market is increasingly influenced by technological differentiation, cost optimization, and collaborative innovation. Large chemical corporations benefit from economies of scale and established distribution networks, while smaller specialized firms are carving niches through proprietary encapsulation technologies and customized PCM solutions for specific industries.
