Key Market Trends

Foams Application is Expected to Hold the Largest Share of the Application Segment

  • Rigid polyurethane and polyisocyanurate (polyiso) foams create one of the world's most popular, energy-efficient, and versatile insulation's.
  • According to the US Department of Energy, heating and cooling account for approximately 55% of the energy used in a typical US home, making it the largest energy expense for most homes.
  • To maintain uniform temperature and lower noise levels in homes and commercial properties, builders turn to rigid polyurethane and polyisocyanurate foams. These foams are effective insulation materials that can be used in roof and wall insulation, insulated windows, doors, and air barrier sealants.
  • The unique applications of foams in the construction industry is expected to drive the market for polyurethane in North America.
