Polymer Foam: Rising demand from Construction Industry for Polymer Foam Based Insulation Materials will boost the growth of the global market

Applications of Polymeric Foams depend on the nature of polymer and their types. The main applications of flexible foams are for cushioning, packaging, automotive safety, footwear, etc. The rigid foams are used for insulation in building, transportation; heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC), and packaging. The reason Polymer Foams are so widely used is that they have a lot of advantageous properties. The density is low, and so the weight reduction as compared to other options is significant. Some polymer foams have very low heat transfer, making them optimal insulators. Many are flexible and soft, and they provide more comfort when used for furniture and bedding.

Some of the prominent factors that positively influence the growth of Polymer Foams Market are increasing crude oil production, rising demand for insulation materials in construction industry, and rising demand for sports outfits owing to increasing urbanization coupled with rising disposable incomes. High adoption rate along with the increasing number of power plants to meet the energy for the ever-growing population. Moreover, continuous expansion of automotive sector as well as shifting manufacturers focus towards luxury vehicles using polymer based cushioning materials is estimated to fuel the growth of the market during the review period, 2023 to 2030. However, growing environmental concern regarding the toxic effect of chemicals permeating the ecospheres by continuous manufacturing, disposing and recycling activities.
