Increase in Demand for Polymer Foams in Building & Construction Sector to Boost Market

Based on application, the global polymer foams market has been segmented into building & construction, packaging, furniture, automotive, footwear, and others (including electrical & electronics and appliances). The building & construction segment is estimated to expand at a significant pace during the forecast period. The buildings sector consumes about 35% to 40% of energy in developing nations. Governments are focusing on sustainable building projects to lower the consumption of energy. Approximately 5% to 6% energy can be saved by using polymer foams. This, in turn, is likely to drive the demand for polymer foams across the globe. Expansion of the polymer foams market can be ascribed to its properties such as lightness of weight, high k-factor, flexibility, low heat, and sound transfer. Polymer foams are extensively used for insulation purposes in the building & construction sector. For instance, flexible polymer foams are used for padding cushions in carpets. Polymer foam acts as reflective covering to bounce sunlight and heat away from roofs. This, in turn, helps houses to stay cool and aid in reducing energy consumption. This is expected to boost the demand for polymer foams in the construction sector.

Growth of Automotive Sector to Propel Demand for Polymer Foams

Rise in disposable income has led to an increase in the spending power of consumers across the globe. This has boosted the disposable income and spending power of consumers. In turn, this is driving the demand for vehicles in developing economies such as China, India, and GCC countries. Rise in sale of vehicles across the globe has been fuelling the demand for polymer foams. Polymer foams are employed in seating, auto bumper systems, and sandwich panels in the automotive sector. Additionally, increase in demand for electrical and fuel-efficient vehicles across the globe is estimated to fuel the demand for polymer foams. 

Polyurethane Segment to Gain Momentum

The report presents a detailed segmentation of the global polymer foams market based on type and application. In terms of type, the polyurethane segment constituted a major share of the global polymer foams market in 2018. Polyurethane foams are being used in several applications due to their characteristics such as high impact resistance and excellent load bearing capacity. This is likely to augment the usage of these foams in the construction industry. Additionally, increase in natural calamities, such as hurricanes, is expected to boost the building & construction industry. This, in turn, is anticipated to propel the demand for polyurethane foams in the region. Additionally, increase in implementation of stringent regulations in the building & construction sector is projected to boost the requirement for research activities on polymer foams across the globe. For instance, according to the International Building Code, a foamed plastic has to pass fire tests such as NFPA286, FM 4880, and UL1715.  Therefore, manufacturers of polyurethane foams are striving to obtain the certification of these test standards.
