摘要

European demand for thermal insulation is predicted to grow by an average of 2.8% a year to 269.3m m~3 in 2019, led by stronger consumption in central and eastern Europe, according to IAL Consultants (London / UK; www.ialconsultants. com). Growth in central and eastern Europe is forecast at 3.2% per year, compared with 2.5% in western Europe. Although the construction industry remains subdued, concerns over better energy efficiency are driving demand.
