Ongoing geopolitical conflicts and global supply chain disruptions are driving a significant increase in the core raw material costs for insulation materials and ventilation products.

In the metals sector, prices for industrial metals such as copper, aluminum, and steel continue to climb. Tariff adjustments on steel and aluminum have further contributed to rising costs for related components.

For insulation materials, base materials like glass wool and rock wool are also being impacted. Combined with growing structural demand driven by the global energy transition, supply-demand tensions are intensifying.

Industry analysis suggests that sustained increases in raw material costs will continue to push downstream product prices upward. Procurement teams are advised to strengthen inventory management and diversify supply channels to navigate market volatility.
