Insights Presented in the Report
“Amongst type, polyurethane category is expected to dominant during the forecast period”
Based on type, the market is segmented into polyurethane, polystyrene, polyolefin, phenolic, and others. The polyurethane category is holding a dominant share of the market and is expected to grow with a high CAGR during the forecast period. Polyurethane (PU) foams have various characteristics including durablity, lightweight, versatile, resistant to corrosion and vibration, recyclable, and offer a high level of freedom in geometric design. PU foams are widely used in various passenger car seat cushions, gasket seals, arm rests, head rests, cushioned instrument panels, airbags, and other components to create lightweight, fuel-efficient, and durable structures. Owing to the above factors and their broad application scope, polyurethane foams are expected to witness significant demand in the market.
“Amongst application, the building & construction to hold a significant share in the market in 2020”
On the basis of application, the market is segmented into building & construction, packaging, automotive, furniture & bedding, footwear, and others. The building & construction category is expected to hold a significant share in the market in 2020. Polymer foam is utilized in the building components, including doors, roofs, sealants, and foundations of doors and windows. Apart from this, the surge in construction activities in developed, as well as developing countries, is also driving the market growth during the forecast period. For instance, the ‘Housing for All’ initiative by the Government of India aims to build 20 million affordable houses for the urban poor by 2022. This initiative is expected to significantly boost residential construction across the country.
“Asia Pacific to hold a significant share in the market”
In 2020, Asia Pacific held a significant share of the global market due to surge in demand for wide range of applications, including packaging and construction activities. Further, the high share is also due to high population, rise in middle-class income, and low labor and raw materials cost in the region. Moreover, the rise in the use of rigid polymer foam and low-density polymer foam in the building & construction sector is due to their high energy absorption capacity and low density, is also having a positive impact on market’s growth during the forthcoming years.
