&lt;div&gt;Materials that can store latent heat (energy released or absorbed by a material or a thermodynamic system at constant-temperature process) during the phase transition are called [https://www.alliedmarketresearch.com/press-release/advanced-phase-change-materials-market.html phase change materials] (PCMs). PCMs latent heat transition can be achieved with solid-solid, solid-liquid, solid-gas, and liquid-gas phase change. However, only solid-liquid phase change is used in advanced PCMs at commercial level, since other methods require large volume and high pressure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Advanced-Phase-Change-Material-PCM-Sales-Market.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Depending on the technology of the material used, advanced PCMs are broadly categorised as:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* inorganic&lt;br /&gt;
* organic&lt;br /&gt;
* bio-based&lt;br /&gt;
* others&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Organic PCMs are further classified as paraffin and non-paraffin materials; these materials melt and freeze repetitively without phase isolation and resulting degradation of their latent heat of fusion. Inorganic phase change materials are further classified in salt hydrate and metallic. These advanced PCMs do not withdraw heat significantly and their heats of fusion do not decay with cycling. Bio-based advanced PCMs are mostly derived from plant oil or animal fat and poses higher biodegradability.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Depending on their application in different fields, advanced PCMs can be categories as building and construction, energy storage, heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC), shipping and transportation, and others including textiles and protective clothing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Europe is the largest market for advanced PCMs followed by North America and Asia Pacific. Increased construction works due to urbanisation is expected to boost the advance PCMs market in Asia Pacific region in coming years.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Paraffin based advanced PCMs (organic PCMs) hold the largest market share while, with increasing concern over environment issues, and strict regulation against biodegradability, bio-based PCMs are expected to have the fastest growth in coming years.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The global trend towards energy saving, sustainable development, biodegradable materials, increasing construction due to surge in urbanisation and advancement in packaging science is driving the market for advanced PCMs. However, the harmful nature of chemicals used as PCMs is expected to inhibit the growth of the market.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some of the global leading manufacturers of advanced PCMs are, Advansa B.V, BASF SE, Ciat Group, Cryopak Inc., Datum Phase Change Ltd., E. I. Du Pont De Nemours And Company, Emco Klimatechnik Gmbh &amp;amp;amp; Co. KG, Ewald Dörken AG, Honeywell Electronic Materials Inc., Laird PLC, Micron Technology Inc., Outlast Technologies LIC, PCM Energy P. Ltd, Phase Change Energy Solutions Inc., Phase Change Material Products Limited, Rgees LIC, Rubitherm Technologies GMBH, SALCA BV, SGL Group, The Bergquist Company Inc., Climator Sweden AB, Entropy Solutions Inc., Microtek Laboratories Inc., Pluss Polymers Pvt. Ltd. and Sonoco Products Co.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Croda, a UK based global chemical producer, supply CrodaThermTM bio-based PCMs.&lt;br /&gt;

= Advanced Phase Change Materials Market Rise in Application in Building &amp;amp;amp; Construction Industry =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Advanced Phase Change Materials Report, published by Allied Market Research, forecast that the global market is projected to reach $2,434 million by 2022 from $691 million in 2015, growing at a CAGR of 19.8% from 2016-022. Building &amp;amp;amp; construction segment occupied major share of the total market in 2015.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Phase change materials have an ability to store and release large amounts of energy, in the form of latent heat. Although phase changes can occur among any combination of the three phases of a substance – gas, liquid, or solid the most commercially viable transition is between the liquid and solid phases. When a PCM is in its’ solid phase it can absorb heat, providing a cooling effect and when a PCM is in its’ liquid phase it can release heat, providing a warming effect.&lt;br /&gt;

Rise in application in building &amp;amp;amp; construction industry drives the growth of the global advanced phase change materials market. Furthermore, increase in emphasis on energy conservation, numerous applications of advanced phase change materials in the textile sector, rapid urbanization in developing countries, and continued technological developments in the field of advanced PCM are expected to fuel the market growth in the near future. The global [https://www.alliedmarketresearch.com/advanced-phase-change-materials-market advanced phase change materials market] is gaining traction, owing to the increased use of microencapsulation and microencapsulation technologies, particularly in the construction and textile sectors. Another major trend observed is the gradual shift of manufacturers toward biodegradable, bio-based PCM as an alternative to the traditional petroleum-based PCM. Improved products by suppliers, and improved macro and micro-encapsulation techniques, which eventually decrease the prices of advanced PCM, is anticipated to create lucrative opportunities for market growth. However, the high cost of advanced PCM and the lack of awareness among the consumers about usage of phase change materials are expected to hinder market growth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The organic PCM segment accounted for the highest value share in 2015, owing to the higher costs, while inorganic PCMs, such as, salt hydrates accounted for the highest volume share. However, bio-based PCM segment is expected to witness highest growth during the forecast period, owing to the increased preference towards environmental-friendly materials, mainly in North America and Europe.&lt;br /&gt;
