Polyurethane Foam Market Overview to 2023:The global polyurethane foam market is poised to touch a valuation of USD 76,065.74 million by 2023, according to Market Research Future (MRFR). Owing to the rising demand from the building and construction industry the polyurethane foam market is expected to register a CAGR of 8.36% during the forecast period (2018-2023).
Polyurethane (PU) foams exhibit high structural strength and resistance to wind, which minimizes the need for additional mechanical reinforcement. Hence, it is extensively used in the building and construction industry to insulate roof underlays, exterior walls, floorings, interior wall cavities, attics, crawlspaces, door frames, and window frames, among others.
Insulation plays a vital role in energy conservation and increases the overall building efficiency. Majority of the energy consumed by a building is utilized for interior space heating and cooling, and a large portion of that heat is lost through the air leakages in the external walls, window frames, floorings, and attics. The emphasis on energy-efficiency and bio-polyols are likely to provide an opportunity for the polyurethane foam market to expand into new ventures.
Rising demand from the construction sector is the key market driver. Besides, the growing home furnishing industry fosters the market growth of polyurethane foams. Furthermore, alternatives of polyols and isocyanates are expected to provide new growth opportunities to the players operating in the market during the forecast period.
However, stringent regulations imposed on the use of methylene chloride as a blowing agent are expected to obstruct the market growth to some extent. In addition, volatile raw material prices are posing a challenge to market growth.
