Phase Change Materials (PCMs) are substances that absorb, store, and release large amounts of latent heat during phase transitions, typically from solid to liquid or vice versa. They are widely used for thermal management as they help regulate temperature by absorbing excess heat and releasing it when temperatures drop. In terms of value, the phase change materials market is estimated to grow from USD 628 million in 2024 to USD 1,383 million by 2029, at a CAGR of 17.1%. The market report provides phase change materials market size, share, growth, demand analysis, industry insights, competitive intelligence, and customer database.
