The growth in the market can be attributed to the increasing demand for polymer foam materials in automotive, building and construction, packaging, electronics, furniture and bedding applications. In terms of type, the polyurethane foam segment is expected to lead the market during the forecast period owing to its properties such as high thermal insulation and noise absorption. In terms of region, Asia Pacific is projected to be the fastest-growing region during the forecast period owing to rising disposable income and growing demand for polymer foam materials in various end-use applications. Some of the key players operating in this market are BASF SE (Germany), Huntsman Corporation (US), The Dow Chemical Company (US), SABIC (Saudi Arabia), Covestro AG (Germany) and Asahi Kasei Corporation (Japan).
Product Definition:
Polymer foam material is a type of synthetic or man-made foam material that is made up of polymer materials. Polymer foam material can be used in a variety of applications, including as insulation, padding, and construction materials. Polymer foam material is often chosen for its ability to provide thermal insulation and energy savings, as well as its durability and resistance to compression.
Polyurethane Foam:
Polyurethane (PU) foam is a closed-cell, flexible polyurethane polymer that is produced by the reaction of urethane and foaming agents. Polyurethanes are used in various end-use industries such as automotive, construction, furniture & bedding and consumer goods owing to their properties such as high strength, durability along with insulation.
Polystyrene Foam:
Polystyrene (PS) foam is a closed-cell polymer foam made from styrene, which is a non-toxic, lightweight material. Polystyrene foams can be manufactured in different densities and are used as an insulating material for packaging and furniture applications. The density of polystyrene depends on the proportion of its constituent elements; it has low density compared to that of Styrofoam but higher than that of expanded polyethylene.
Application Insights:
The automotive application segment led the global market and accounted for more than a 29% share of the overall revenue in 2017. The growing demand for lightweight materials with superior mechanical properties is expected to drive the product demand in this application segment over the forecast period.
Polymer foam is widely used as an insulation material in cold storage, freezers and refrigerators, HVAC (heating, ventilation, and cooling), electrical equipment (power distribution & control), furniture (chairs & sofas), packaging applications such as boxes/cartons/trays etc., electronics components such as circuit boards, housings/cases etc., flooring underlayment on account of its high thermal resistance property.
Building & construction was one of the key industries that extensively utilized polymer foam due to its excellent characteristics including load-bearing capacity and thermal insulation which helps maintain comfortable temperature inside buildings without using additional energy or resources.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific dominated the global market in terms of revenue with a share of over 45.0% in 2017. The region is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing to rapid industrialization and increasing per capita income levels, especially in China and India. Growing automotive industry due to low manufacturing cost coupled with favorable government regulations is projected to drive demand for polymer foam materials across this region during the forecast period.
The Asia Pacific was followed by Europe, which accounted for a share of more than 25.0%in 2017 owing to high product demand from several major industries including automotive, packaging, building & construction and electronics among others across this region as well as Spain Italy Germany France UK Russia Poland Ukraine Czechoslovakia Hungary Romania Bulgaria Sweden Norway Finland Estonia Greece Turkey Among these countries; Turkey has witnessed remarkable growth since 2010s on account of rising number or small medium enterprises (SMEs).
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for lightweight and durable materials in automotive and aerospace industries
- Rising awareness about the benefits of polymer foam material over traditional materials
- Growing demand from construction and insulation sectors
- Technological advancements that have led to the development of new applications for polymer foam material
- Stringent environmental regulations encouraging the use of recyclable materials
