Market Overview:
The global low density microcellular polyurethane foam market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The market growth can be attributed to the increasing demand for lightweight and energy-efficient materials in automotive, building & construction, electronics, medical and aerospace applications. Low density microcellular polyurethane foam is used as a replacement for traditional materials such as metals, plastics and composites in various end-use industries owing to its superior properties such as high strength-to-weight ratio, thermal insulation and acoustic insulation. North America dominates the global low density microcellular polyurethane foam market due to the presence of key players in this region and rising demand for lightweight materials in automotive applications.
Product Definition:
Low Density Microcellular Polyurethane Foam is a type of foam insulation that has very small cells, which gives it a low density. This makes it an excellent insulator and also allows it to be used in applications where weight is a concern. Low Density Microcellular Polyurethane Foam can be used in roofing, walls, and other applications where thermal insulation or weight savings are important.
1 lbs/ft3 is the density of a gas that has a volume of 1 ft3. The density of 1 lbs/ft3 is used to define the mass per unit volume in gases or liquids.
1-3 lbs/ft3:
1-3 lbs/ft3 is the average density of low density microcellular polyurethane foam produced by major players in the industry. It is a widely accepted and used standard for measuring the performance of various types of LDPU foams. The 1-3 lbs/ft3 standard has been adopted by leading automotive, aerospace & transportation, and consumer goods manufacturers to produce high quality lightweight materials with controlled thermal properties for use in insulation applications.
Application Insights:
The global low density microcellular polyurethane foam market is segmented on the basis of application into automotive, electronics, building and construction, medical and aerospace. The automotive sector was estimated to be the largest application segment in 2017. It is used as a cushioning material for cars to reduce road vibration and provide comfort during long journeys. DLPUF provides excellent impact resistance & energy absorption which aids in maintaining vehicle safety standards set by regulatory bodies such as NHTSA (U.S.) & EURO NCAP (Europe).
DLPUF has high thermal insulating properties which makes it suitable for use in car heaters or air conditioners since they need to operate at lower temperatures without compromising with insulation efficiency or durability requirements while providing an attractive appearance that can complement interior designs of vehicles worldwide.
Regional Analysis:
North America dominated the global market in terms of revenue in 2017. The region is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period owing to high product demand from various end-use industries, such as automotive and electronics. In addition, growing consumer awareness regarding fitness and health along with increasing spending on healthcare products is likely to drive industry growth over the next eight years.
Asia Pacific is projected to be one of the fastest-growing regions during the forecast period due to rapid industrialization coupled with rising disposable income levels among consumers in emerging economies including China and India. Moreover, government initiatives for infrastructure development are anticipated to fuel product demand from building & construction applications during the same period.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for low density microcellular polyurethane foam in the automotive and construction industries due to its excellent thermal insulation properties.
- Rising demand for lightweight and energy-efficient materials in the automotive industry to meet stringent fuel efficiency norms.
- Growing popularity of low density microcellular polyurethane foam as a replacement for traditional materials such as metal, wood, and plastic in various applications owing to its superior properties such as high strength-to-weight ratio, impact resistance, and vibration damping capacity.
