Market Dynamics
Building improvements and upgrades with government support on energy efficiency, emergence of bio-based PU foams and rapid urbanization in developing countries are the major driving factors for the growth of the market. The burgeoning demand from the building and construction sector owing to the boost in infrastructural projects is likely to fuel growth in global PU Foam market. Especially in developing countries like India, Brazil, and China, the expanding home furnishing sector owing to the growing middle class and disposable income is likely to provide opportunities for the polyurethane foam market.
Flexible polyurethane foams are used for cushioning application in the furniture and bidding industry and is extensively preferred as they provide thin profile cushion and comfort. The growth of revenue in the industry will be driven by the increasing demand for premium and designer furniture. Increasing packaged beverage and food industry in Asia Pacific tied with strong demand for corrugated boxes are anticipated to drive consumption in packaging applications. Therefore, driving the global PU Foam market.
However, environmental regulations and health hazard on use of TDI and MDI as a raw material in production of PU foams are the key restraints hindering the market growth worldwide. According to Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, the health effects of TDI and MDI depend on how much a consumer is exposed to and the length of that exposure. Respiratory effects, including a decrease in lung function, have been reported in workers exposed to TDI or MDI. Asthma and symptoms of asthma, such as wheezing and shortness of breath, have been observed in some individuals who are particularly sensitive to the toxicity of TDI and MDI. These health hazard can hamper the market growth during the forecast period
Market Segmentation
By source, the polyurethane foam market is segmented into flexible foam, rigid foam and molded fom. The Flexible Foam segment of the Global PU Foams market was valued at USD 21.76 Bn in 2018 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of YY % over the forecast period to reach a USD YY Bn by 2026. PUs are one of the most important class of polymers that are used in everyday life products. Flexible polyurethane foam (FPF) is used as cushioning for a wide variety of consumer and commercial products including furniture, carpet cushion, transportation, bedding, packaging, textiles and fibers.
FPF usage consists mostly of slabstock, which is used primarily for carpet cushion and furniture. Most of the remainder is used by the transportation industry for automotive interiors and other purposes. FPF cushions upholstered furniture, office chairs, stadium seating and auditorium seating. As a cushioning material, FPF provides the benefits such as support and comfort, durability, resiliency, energy absorption, and handling strength. FPF is used extensively in the transportation industry for seating, headrests, arm rests, interior panels and skins, car and truck fenders, truck beds and other interior systems
.
By application, the polyurethane foam market is segmented into bedding & furniture, bulding and construction, electronics, automotive and others. The Bedding and Furniture segment of the Global Polyurethane Foam Market is valued at USD 21.10 Bn in 2018 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of YY % over the forecast period to reach a USD YY Bn by 2026. Flexible polyurethane foams are soft, yet provide good support, durable, and maintain their shape. They are an excellent and safe filling material for seating cushions and mattresses and can be produced to the density required by the manufacturer.
Their versatility allows designers to use the full scope of their imagination when creating new products. The major applications of polyurethane foam in the furniture segment are upholstered furniture cushions, automotive seat cushions and interior trim, carpet cushion, and mattress padding and solid-core mattress cores. Memory foam is a popular form of polyurethane, which adapts to the shape of a person’s body, ensuring restful sleep. It is widely used in hospitals, where it helps to prevent pressure sores in people who are bed-bound over long periods of time.
Geographical Analysis
