The global phase change materials market is anticipated to experience significant growth, reaching an estimated USD 4,174.8 million by 2027. The increasing adoption of phase change materials in building materials production and stringent global regulations aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions have been major drivers of market expansion. According to the latest report by Fortune Business Insights, titled "Phase Change Materials Market, Share & COVID-19 Impact Analysis," the market was valued at USD 1,157.6 million in 2019 and is projected to achieve an impressive compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 21.0% from 2020 to 2027.
However, the implementation of government lockdowns to control the spread of COVID-19 has significantly disrupted supply chain operations. This disruption is primarily due to the suspension of industrial activities and a decrease in workforce availability, resulting in a shortage of raw materials and further hampering industrial operations. This supply chain disruption is expected to present challenges to market growth during the forecast period.

Driving Factors
Increasing Use of Phase Change Materials in Building Materials to Drive Demand
The extensive use of phase change materials is driven by their superior thermal regulation properties, which enhance the heating and cooling efficiencies of residential and commercial buildings. As a result, they are widely used in the manufacturing of building materials worldwide. According to the Technology Strategy Board in the U.K., approximately 45% of total carbon emissions are attributed to the operation, construction, and maintenance of buildings and infrastructure. Due to the rising levels of carbon emissions, stringent emission norms have been implemented by global government agencies to mitigate greenhouse gas effects, which is likely to increase demand and drive the growth of the phase change materials market during the forecast period.
Segmentation
Organic PCM Segment Expected to Dominate Market Share
Based on type, the organic phase change materials segment is anticipated to hold the largest market share in terms of revenue. This is due to their numerous benefits, such as lower density, specific temperature ranges, cost-effectiveness, high latent heat, and thermal stability.
