Market Overview

The Global Polyurethane Foam Market is projected to register a CAGR of more than 5% during the forecast period (2022-2027).

The market was negatively impacted by COVID-19 in 2020. Due to the COVID-19 outbreak in the first half of 2020, the various end-user industries automotive, transportation, building & construction were significantly affected. However, the situation became stable in 2021 and the market is projected to grow steadily.

  • Over the short term, rising demand in the construction industry in the Asia-Pacific region, and the growing furnishing industry are some of the driving factors which are stimulating the market demand.
  • Strict environmental regulations for the manufacturing of PU foam are hindering the market's growth.
  • Increasing the production of bio-based polyols products is likely to create opportunities for the market in the coming years.
  • Asia-Pacific region is expected to dominate the market and is also likely to witness the highest CAGR during the forecast period.

Scope of the Report

Polyurethane foam is a linear polymer made up of organic units connected by carbamate linkages. It is widely used in the construction, automotive, and household appliance industries, among other applications. Their interior structure is responsible for their low weight and superior mechanical and thermal insulation properties. The Polyurethane Foam Market is segmented by type, end-user industry, and geography. By type, the market is segmented into rigid foam and flexible foam.

Key Market Trends

Building & Construction Segment Dominates the Market

  • Polyurethane foam finds its largest application in the building and construction industry, where it is used in various household, commercial, and industrial applications 
  • Polyurethane foam is a flexible chemical product that can be used for bonding, filling, sealing, and insulation in a variety of building applications. Its strong thermal and acoustic insulation capabilities make it ideal for applications such as water pipe insulation, roof, and wall bonding and sealing, and, most critically, door and window frame installation.
  • According to US Censor Bureau, the total spending on construction in April 2022 was estimated to be USD 1,744.8 billion, which is 12.3 % above the April 2021 estimate of USD 1,5553.5 billion. which has stimulated the consumption of paints and coatings. This has enhanced the demand for the market studied.
  • According to European Commission, in comparison to 2020, annual average construction production increased by 5.2% across the euro region and 4.8% in the EU in 2021. Furthermore, in December 2021 the UK monthly construction output increased by 2% as compared to the previous month. Thus, with the increasing building and construction activities, the demand for polyurethane foam will also significantly increase.
  • Owing to all these factors, the market for Polyurethane Foam is likely to grow globally during the forecast period.
