23rd October 2019 – The global structural
foam market size is expected to value at USD 42.2 billion by 2025. The
market is subject to witness a substantial growth due to the rising
infrastructure activities, growing residential & commercial construction
industry and substantial growth of retail sector. Additionally, the growing
need for structural foam in material handling, automotive, and electrical &
electronics industry from BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa)
countries are expected to drive the growth of the market over the forecast
period.
Globally, the structural foam market is
predicted to grow at CAGR of 5.8% in forecast period, providing numerous
opportunities for market players to invest in research and development in the
market. Structural foams offer advantages such as lightweight and superior
weight to strength ratio, mainly in comparison with the solid plastics. Such
factors are largely influencing demand of the structural foams. Other
advantages of structural foams include stability, conductivity, heat
resistance, and toughness, which are vital in applications such as wind
turbines, automobile equipment, and insulation purposes.
Increasing adoption of structural foams
in material handling equipment that is commonly used for small distance travel
for industrial goods within the production plant, thus expanding overall market
reach of the structural foam industry over the forecast period. Other
applications of the structural foam include packaging services, shipbuilding,
wind power, and consumer goods, such factors are playing critical role in the
growth of structural foam market in the last couple of years.

However, variation in the cost of the
raw materials and shifting preference towards biodegradable plastics as a
reliable substitute replacing non-biodegradable foam are expected to limit
market growth over the forecast period. Yet, large corporations are
increasingly setting up supply partnerships and implementing forward and
backward integration in the supply chain network, thus driving market growth in
the last couple of years. Although, changing fuel prices, increasing demand for
premium quality products at cheap rates and growing competition in the market
are further restraining market progress to a certain extent.
Polyethylene is considered as one
fastest growing segment in the structural foam industry with substantial
revenue generation in the last couple of years. Growing popularity of the
polyethylene foam market segment is credited to the factors such as
lightweight, durability, heat resistance and a closed-cell material
composition. Polyethylene is widely used in the packaging of delicate products
and automobile parts, thus fostering market value in the recent years.
Rigid polyurethanes has also witnessed
substantial growth in the last couple of years owing to increase in adoption as
a structural material. Rigid polyurethanes has also displayed important
properties such as toughness, lightweight, and resilience. Rigid polyurethanes
also provide protection against chemical reactions and moisture effects thus
making it an ideal choice for various application such as building &
product insulation.
Growing demand for structural foams in
the automobile sector are expected to fuel market growth over the forecast
period. Additionally, introduction of lightweight composites and its advantages
are expected to boost market demand for structural foam in upcoming years as
well. Recently, integration of the structural foam into various parts of a
vehicle like body-side joints, chains, ledges, under body cross-vehicle frame,
longitudinal frames or frame bars, machine cradles, body-side rails, door
panels and hydro-formed reinforcements.
The structural foam market is divided by
region as North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America and Africa. North
America has shown major growth in recent years owing to the rise in the
adoption of latest technologies in construction & building industry and
existence of well-established industrial infrastructure.
Asia-Pacific region is predicted to hold
major market share in the structural foam industry with massive growth in forecast
period. Countries such as India, China and Indonesia are leading the
Asia-Pacific’s market with high economic growth, ever-growing population,
increasing standard of living, and significant investment by leading industry
players considering potential growth opportunities in the region. The key
players in the structural foam industry are Armacell International S.A., Diab
International AB, Evonik Industries AG, Covestro AG, and Gurit Holding AG.
