FOAM BLOWING AGENTS MARKET ANALYSIS

Market Size and Trends

Foam blowing agents are substances that used in the foaming process to expand in matrix and offer cellular structure to substrates, thereby intensifying the flexibility as well as acoustic and thermal insulation of the final product. Drastic increase in demand for polymeric foams across industries, such as automotive, construction, and appliances, along with increased use of foam blowing agents in manufacturing of polyurethane foam is expected to play a major role in driving the growth of the global foam blowing agents market in the future. Polyurethane foam is one of the most commonly used types of polymer foam, which finds wide application in various industries, including electronics, flooring, automotive, construction, packaging, and medical devices. The trend is expected to continue over the foreseeable future, which in turn is projected to positively impact growth of the global foam blowing agents market. The medical industry has witnessed rapid growth in the recent past, characterized by various technological advancements. Also, an upturn in the global trade has brought a surge in the demand for safe and reliable packaging of products, which requires foam-based polymers due to their shock absorbing nature. Therefore, the strengthening packaging and medical devices industries are together expected to boost the global market growth during the forecast period.
