Insulation

The role insulation plays in construction projects is larger than ever before, and not just because winter is coming. The importance of sustainability and the quest for higher energy efficiency, for example, show all the more reason to keep an eye on the influence those trends have on customers’ demand for insulation products and solutions, which is what USP has been doing for more than 25 years.

We understand the insulation market in its entirety, from its basic technical and practical aspects to the complex value chains it consists of. That means there is no need to brief us on your market and we can dive into your business challenge straight away. Below you will find examples of clients we worked with, as well as studies we frequently conduct in the insulation category.

      Customer satisfaction

      Would you like to increase your turnover by improving customer satisfaction in the construction, installation and home improvement sector? USP conducts customer satisfaction research in these markets to help you succeed. Enhanced customer experience and customer satisfaction is a key factor that helps a brand stand out and grow its market share

      Branding

      The more distinct your brand is, the more valuable it will become. Being distinct is not that easy when playing in the field of construction, installation and home improvement, however. Professionals tend to stick with their favourite brands. Our branding studies all come down to one common goal: increasing long-term profitability by introducing, maintaining or growing your brand in a wildly competitive landscape.

      Customer journey

      Een customer journey (klantreis) is de persoonlijke ervaring van een klant met uw bedrijf. Hoe reageren uw klanten op uw producten, diensten of concept? Het evalueren van een klantreis stelt u in staat om de sterke en zwakke punten van uw bedrijf te verbeteren, waardoor het behoud en de omzet van klanten worden verbeterd. USP kan u helpen uw aanbod af te stemmen op de behoeften en wensen van uw klanten.

      Segmentatie

      Gebruik segmentatieonderzoek om uw klanten te categoriseren in verschillende groepen die van elkaar verschillen in termen van relevante aspecten voor uw product, dienst of concept. Wij helpen niet alleen bij het bepalen van deze klantgroepen, maar ook door deze informatie te vertalen naar de aangeboden diensten en dienstverlening, en uit te leggen wat dit alles betekent voor uw medewerkers.

What are the trends and developments in that market, and who are the most important players?We use a range of methods to identify the market characteristics, such as market size, segmentation, distribution hubs, key media, market developments and sector culture.

      Monitor research

      Learn about the standard monitor research reports we have available on insulation:

        European Architectural Barometer

        Each quarter, USP's prediction model forecasts future building volumes in eight European countries. Aside from forecasting volumes, we use architects' insights to study key trends like BIM, prefab, changes in DMU, the changing role of architects, and many more. Knowing where, how and when these trends become relevant is key market intelligence necessary for sound strategic decision making.

         

        Contractor Monitor

        The main aims of this research are to give construction product manufacturers a good understanding of European contractors (who they are, what they do, how they behave) and the main trends in the construction market.

        European Home Improvement Monitor

        In this online study, we track the home improvement jobs that consumers do (or outsource to professionals) in and around their homes. We report insights on online orientation, purchase channels, brand preferences and DIY behaviour. The study is held in 11 European countries and is based on 26,400 interviews per year. Detailed category insights are available for more than 20 specific product categories.
