Market Overview:
The global car foams market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The growth in the market can be attributed to the increasing demand for lightweight and fuel-efficient vehicles. In addition, the increasing demand for premium cars is also contributing to the growth of this market. The global car foams market by type is segmented into polyurethane, polyolefin, styrenic, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), phenolic, and melamine. The polyurethane segment is expected to dominate the global car foams market during the forecast period owing to its properties such as high thermal insulation and sound absorption capacity. The PVC segment is projected to grow at a highest CAGR during the forecast period owing to its properties such as durability and resistance against heat and moisture. The global car foams market by application is divided into instrument panels, seating, door panels, headliners & sun visors, trunk linings & floor mats; underbody protection; spoilers & wings; other applications (such as airbags). The instrument panels segment accounted for majority of share in 2017 due rising demand for luxury cars with advanced features across different regions worldwide . However ,the headliners& sun visors are projectedto witness highest CAGR overthe forecastperioddue growing popularityof aftermarket productsin developing countries .
Product Definition:
Car foams are products used to clean and protect a car's interior. They can be sprayed on or applied with a cloth, and work to remove dirt, dust, and stains while also providing a layer of protection that helps keep the seats, dashboard, and other surfaces looking new. Car foams are important because they keep cars looking clean and new for longer periods of time.
Polyurethane:
Polyurethane (PU) is a polymer, which is produced from two basic ingredients, i.e., urea and tetrafluoroethylene. These raw materials are combined in the presence of catalysts to produce polyurethane.
Polyolefin:
Polyolefin is a polymer, which contains multiple olefin units and is produced by the polymerization of ethylene. It has applications in various industries such as automotive, construction, electrical & electronics packaging and textile . Polyolefins are non-toxic thermoplastics that can be processed at high temperatures (up to 300°C or 552°F) without any degradation occurring in their physical properties such as strength and stiffness.
Application Insights:
In terms of revenue, the instrument panels segment dominated the global car foams market in 2017. This is attributed to a high demand for vehicle interior components from automotive OEMs and aftermarket suppliers. Instrument panel is one of the most important parts of a vehicle as it contains various electronic systems and mechanical components. The safety requirements associated with instrument panels are expected to boost product demand over the forecast period.
The seating segment accounted for more than 15% share in 2017 owing to increasing consumer preference for premium seats that offer enhanced comfort and support during long journeys or hours behind the wheel. Car manufacturers are increasingly focusing on enhancing passenger experience by upgrading seat materials, designs, features, and functions into integrated vehicles-based chairs that can be controlled through mobile apps or voice commands using Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant technology installed in smartphones or smart speakers like Amazon Echo/Alexa etc.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing regional market with a CAGR of XX% from 2018 to 2030 owing to increasing demand for cars in countries such as China, India, and Japan. Furthermore, rising disposable income levels coupled with an increase in population will boost the automotive industry which will further drive product demand over the forecast period.
The European region accounted for 24% of global car foams market share in 2017 on account of high production volume and consumer preference for luxury vehicles such as limousines and coaches among others. The growth can be attributed to stringent government regulations regarding fuel emissions along with growing environmental concerns among consumers about carbon footprints associated with vehicle transportation methods that emit toxic gases into atmosphere thus affecting overall environment negatively.
North America was valued at USD X million in 2017 owing to high consumption volumes generated by passenger cars.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for luxury and comfort in vehicles
- Rising disposable income of consumers
- Technological advancements in car foams manufacturing process
- Growing awareness about the benefits of using car foams
- Stringent government regulations for emission control
