Insulated Concrete Form Market Scope and Segmentation

Market Definition

Insulated concrete form or concrete form is a formwork system for reinforced concrete. This is generally made with a rigid thermal insulation which stays in place as a permanent exterior and interior substrate for roofs, walls and floors. These forms are interlocking modular units which are filled with concrete and dry-stacked (without mortar). Insulated concrete form construction has become commonplace for both high performance residential and low rise commercial construction as more natural disaster resistant and stringent energy efficiency building codes are adopted.
