Market Overview:
The global polyurethane foam blowing agents 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 polyurethane foam in various applications, such as building and construction, gardening, sound insulation, hutch defends, and others. In terms of type, the hydrocarbons segment is expected to lead the global polyurethane foam blowing agents market during the forecast period. This can be attributed to their low cost and easy availability as compared to other types of blowing agents.
Product Definition:
Polyurethane foam blowing agents are chemicals that are used to produce polyurethane foam. The blowing agents cause the foam to expand, which makes it a good insulator.
Hydrocarbons (HC):
Hydrocarbons (HC) are organic compounds containing only hydrogen and carbon. They are often found in natural gas, petroleum or coal beds.
Paraffins (P): These contain mostly waxy properties and have high heat & chemical resistance. Owing to these characteristics they find application in the automotive industry for fuel efficiency purposes, where it is used as a anti-knocking agent to reduce engine knocking.
Hydroflurocarbon (HFC):
Hydroflurocarbon is a group of compounds with similar properties. They are used as blowing agents in polyurethane foam production.
1) Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) were previously used for this purpose but due to their depleting atmospheric chlorine, they have been phased out and replaced by hydrofluorocarbon (HFCs).
Application Insights:
Building was the largest application segment and accounted for over 47% of the global market share in terms of revenue in 2017. PU foam is widely used for insulation purposes in buildings owing to its excellent thermal resistance properties. It can also be used to fill voids, add strength, and provide thermal barrier to a building structure. In addition, it has high sound insulation properties which make it suitable for use as an acoustic solution within buildings.
The product is increasingly being utilized by home owners & architects as an alternative to traditional materials such as fiberglass & cellulose based foams on account of its lightweight characteristics which reduce the structural weight of a building thereby reducing energy consumption during construction process.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific is expected to be the fastest growing region with a CAGR of XX% from 2018 to 2030 owing to rapid urbanization and industrialization in emerging economies such as China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand. The construction industry in Asia Pacific has witnessed significant growth over the past few years on account of increasing demand for residential and commercial buildings which requires high-end specifications including soundproofing materials. This is likely to drive product demand over the forecast period.
Europe was estimated as the second largest market for PU foam blowing agents in 2017 due to stringent environmental regulations by various regulatory bodies such as REACH that have driven innovation in terms of development processes followed by manufacturers while delivering end products which are consistent with regulatory standards set by these regulatory bodies thereby driving product sales across Europe since last few years.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for polyurethane foam in the construction and automotive industries
- Growing awareness about the benefits of polyurethane foam over other insulation materials
- Rising demand for flexible foams in bedding, furniture, and packaging applications
- Technological advancements that have led to the development of new blowing agents with better performance characteristics
- Stringent environmental regulations encouraging the use of more environmentally friendly blowing agents
