Integrated safety standards for building energy storage have been released, opening up market opportunities for fire-resistant and isolating materials.
2025-10-25
With the rapid development of integrated building energy storage technology and the gradual refinement of relevant safety standards, a new market space has emerged for fire-resistant and isolation materials. In recent years, the National Energy Administration issued the “Provisional Regulations on the Management of New Energy Storage Projects,” explicitly requiring that energy storage systems be equipped with fire protection, heat dissipation, and leak-proof measures, and emphasizing that such equipment must undergo testing and certification by professional institutions. This policy direction has prompted the construction sector to strengthen safety standards throughout the design, installation, and operation phases of energy storage systems, thereby making fire-resistant and isolation materials a critical component in ensuring system safety.
In building energy storage applications, the role of fire-resistant insulation materials is becoming increasingly prominent. Take, for example, rockwool firebreak strips used in construction: these strips are made from vertically oriented fiber rockwool boards, with tensile strength several times higher than that of conventional materials, effectively blocking the spread of fire. Relevant technical standards explicitly stipulate that exterior wall insulation systems must be equipped with Class A non-combustible firebreak strips at least 300 mm wide, and the thickness, density, and combustion performance of the rockwool strips must comply with national regulations. The widespread adoption of such materials in high-rise buildings, photovoltaic curtain walls, and other similar applications has directly driven growth in market demand.
Industry analysis shows that, as urbanization accelerates and fire safety regulations become more comprehensive, the market size for fire-retardant materials continues to expand. In the coming years, new materials that combine high fire resistance with environmentally friendly performance are expected to dominate the market. Meanwhile, the further refinement of safety standards for energy storage systems will unlock even greater market potential, creating development opportunities for companies across the upstream and downstream segments of the industry chain.
