PUF panels are extensively used in the construction industry as they are made with three separate elements. The PUF panel market is projected to exhibit substantial growth during the forecast period owing to the increasing construction projects across the globe. PUF panels protect interiors against extreme weather conditions, sound, and sudden breakout of fires. The PUF panel market is expected to grow with a CAGR of 6% during the forecast period on account of its rapid installation, coupled with cost-effectiveness and light weightiness compared to other sandwich panels.
