Europe Calcium Silicate Blocks Market Size
The Europe calcium silicate blocks market attained a value of USD 836.22 million in 2023. The market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 5.9% during 2024-2032 to reach a value of USD 1,342.11 million by 2032.
Europe Calcium Silicate Blocks Market Outlook
- In 2022, the construction sector in Europe received a total investment of USD 1,535.4 billion, rising by 2% over 2021.
- In the EU, real estate accounts for roughly 40% of total energy consumption and 36% of GHG emissions. The rising demand for sustainable construction practices and rising energy costs drives the demand for high quality insulation.
- Poland's cement production in the first half of 2022 increased by 8.6% year-on-year, reaching 9.3Mt.
Europe Calcium Silicate Blocks Market Growth Rate
Calcium silicate insulation is composed of non-combustible materials, it can tolerate exposure to fire and withstand temperatures of up to 927 degrees Celsius. Calcium silicate blocks are widely employed across different industry verticals such as cement, steel and iron, power plants, and petrochemicals due to their high efficiency and insulating properties.
In cement production plants, calcium silicate blocks find applications as insulators, to insulate high-temperature pipes and equipment. In 2022, the EU produced around 183 Mt of cement. The EU’s five largest regional cement producers are Germany, France, Italy, the UK, and Spain.

Key Trends and Developments
Expanding construction sector; Europe’s emission reduction strategies; increasing steel production; and rising adoption of calcium silicate in the residential sector are the key trends impacting the Europe calcium silicate blocks market growth
Expanding aluminium manufacturing
The European region has a well-established aluminium value chain, comprising of multinationals and small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). While international companies often own smelters and rolling mills, SMEs operate extrusion and recycling plants. The yearly demand for primary aluminium in Europe is 9 million tonnes. By 2050, the primary aluminium demand is predicted to reach 18 million tonnes.
Rising steel manufacturing
The steel market in Europe is global leader in terms of sustainability and innovation. According to the European Steel Association, as of 2022, the European steel sector produces 152 million tonnes of steel annually with turnover of over USD 141.2 billion. Across 22 EU Member States, more than 500 steel-producing facilities employ millions of Europeans directly and indirectly. Calcium silicate blocks are deployed as insulation for blast furnace shaft, soaking pits, and waste heat boilers in the steel sector.
Growth of the petrochemical, fertiliser sectors
By 2025, the economic growth in Europe is expected to grow by 1.7% in the EU and 1.5% in the euro area. Calcium silicate blocks find applications in the petrochemical, fertiliser, and refinery sectors due to their fire resistance and high-temperature insulation properties.
Growing glass packaging sector
The glass packaging sector is a growing market in Europe. In 2021, European countries produced over 83.3 billion glass bottles and jars. In the glass industry, calcium silicate blocks enhance the safety of glass production and reduce heat loss.
Growth of the construction sector aids the market for cement
Calcium silicate blocks are lightweight, non-combustible and durable insulating material. The expanding construction sector in Europe aids the demand for construction materials, like cement. In the cement industry, calcium silicate insulation provides a long operating life for cement production facilities combined with energy savings.
Calcium silicate blocks can help the EU reduce its emissions
By 2030, the EU aims to reduce GHG emissions by at least 55% from the 1990 levels. Calcium silicate blocks are an ideal insulation for the industrial sector to help it save energy and space, reduce CO2 emissions and enhance safety.
Rising steel production aids the demand for calcium silicate blocks
In 2022, EU’s steel sector produced carbon steel alloy (77.0%), carbon steel other alloy (18.5%), and stainless steel (4.5%). The EU also produces a range of steel products, such as quarto plate, hot rolled wide strip, and wire rods. The rising steel production aids the Europe calcium silicate blocks market.
Growth of the real estate sector and the use of the blocks in buildings due to their excellent thermal insulation
In the EU, real estate accounts for around 40% of total energy consumption and 36% of GHG emissions. The heat conductivity coefficient of calcium silicate board is 0.11. Furthermore, its insulation property is five times more than that of glass, three times greater than that of fireclay, and ten times greater than that of regular concrete. Consumers across Europe are investing in high quality insulation, such as calcium silicate blocks due to the rising costs of gas, heating oil and electricity.
Europe Calcium Silicate Block Market Trends
Calcium silicate blocks are reusable and being a precast construction material provide time efficiency and enhance building quality. By 2030, the EU aims to reduce its energy consumption by 11.7% compared to the 2020 level. A reduction in energy consumption is expected to help the EU meet its target of reducing GHG emissions by at least 55% by 2030 compared to 1990 levels. Calcium silicate bricks/ blocks are highly energy efficient and have a lower carbon footprint (300 kgs/ton) compared to clay-fired bricks (900 kgs/ton). This is expected to significantly favour the Europe calcium silicate blocks market expansion.
Germany is a significant cement producer in Europe, with a production of 32.9 million metric tonnes in 2022. The rising demand for cement from the construction sector is expected to drive the use of calcium silicate blocks in the precalcinator, klin riser duct, firing hood, grate-cooler, tertiary air duct, and flue gas ducts due to the block’s ability to withstand high temperature.
