Foam blowing agents have the ability to enhance certain properties and nature of polymers. These agents create holes and expand in polymer matrix. The polymeric foams have several advantages, such as low density, high strength, low heat transfer and flexibility which makes them suitable for use in automotive and construction industries.
The foam blowing agents are classified according to products as Hydrocarbons (HC), Hydrofluorocarbons (HFC), Hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFC) and Others (Including Azodicarbonamide, Hydrazine, CO2, Water, Etc.). The hydrocarbon product segment of the global foam blowing agents market is expected to witness significant growth during the forecast period. The foam blowing agents are classified according to applications as Polyurethane (PU) Foams, Polystyrene (PS) Foams, Polyolefin Foams and Others (Including Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Foams, Phenolic Foams, Etc.). Polyurethane foam has the largest market share. It is due to its large base of end-user industries such as automotive, building and construction, electronics, flooring, furnishings, medical devices, and packaging.
The key drivers influencing the growth of foam blowing agent markets are increasing demand in end user industries such as construction and automotive. The rising demand of foam blowing agents in the manufacturing of polyurethane foams is expected to fuel the market growth during the forecast period. There are growth opportunities in the future markets due to the introduction of ecofriendly foam blowing agents such as hydrofluoroolefins (HFO). The key constraints of this market are the volatile pricing of feedstock petroleum-based foam blowing agents, and stringent environmental regulations.
Asia-Pacific market has the largest share in the global foam blowing agents market, in terms of value and volume. It is due to the factors such as increasing consumption of blowing agents in developing economies and growing base of end-use industries of polymer foams.
