Global Polyurethane Foam Blowing Agents Industry Overview
The growing demand for PU foam blowing agents from the automotive and construction industries is one of the critical reasons that will drive the polyurethane foam blowing agents market. PU foams are increasingly used in the manufacture of interior components of automobiles such as instrument panels, armrests, headrests, roof liners, seats, and dashboards. Foam blowing agents are increasingly used in the production of automotive parts such as side skirts, wiper cowls, roll pans, and bumpers. This growth in the automotive industry will boost the PU foam blowing agents as they are used in the production of PU foam.
Refrigerator manufacturers are increasingly adopting technological changes in refrigeration systems by procuring blowing agents with lower GWP as it helps them to meet the impending energy and environmental regulations. This is encouraging the appliance PU industry to examine high performance and cost-effective blowing agents with improved thermal gas conductivity. It also helps them to maintain their cost and performance position in the market. The introduction of such technical changes in refrigeration systems in the appliance PU industry will drive the polyurethane foam blowing agents market to grow at a CAGR of over 6% during the forecast period.
