Phase Change Materials Market

Global Phase Change Materials Market: Overview

Phase change materials are capable materials for storing and releasing large amounts of energies. These are designed to change their phases from +2°C to +8°C range and are recommended for vaccine storage and transport. Phase change materials are purposely filled in a leak-proof pack with a high amount of latent heat of fusion.

The principle mechanism beyond phase changing is, heat energy is absorbed and released when the material changes from solid to liquid or vice versa. Apart, from that phase change materials have huge variety of applications. They are used for storing heat for air-conditioning, peak heat reduction of load, as buffer storage for solar-based applications, etc.

These phase change materials are not water-based substances, generally filled with various types of paraffin wax or vegetable-sourced substances. PCM material selection is based on various capacities such as melting temperature, latent and sensible heat, cyclic property, cost, fire hazard and others.

With the increasing population, rapid urbanization and changing life style the demand for RAC (Refrigeration and air-conditioning) products have been significantly increasing. Posing demand for renewable RAC based products such as phase change materials incorporated products.

Industrial emission are the major cause of increasing greenhouse gases in the atmosphere which has become a significant factor for global warming resulting in greenhouse effect which is driving climatic changes such as increasing temperatures in the regions creating demand for phase change material based projecting growth in global phase change materials market.

There are also a few restrains to the global phase change materials market such as unacceptance of such an advance technology by the end consumer may be a key restrain for global phase change materials market.
