Foam Blowing Agents Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges
Based on our research output, there has been a neutral impact on the market growth during and post COVID-19 era. The growing demand for foam blowing agents from the automotive and construction industries is notably driving the foam blowing agents market growth, although factors such as an increase in the use of hfcs and hcfcs in unauthorized sectors may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the foam blowing agents industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Foam Blowing Agents Market Driver
The growing demand for foam blowing agents from the automotive and construction industries is notably driving the foam blowing agents market growth. The global automotive industry is expected to grow at a significant rate during the forecast period, which would register an increase in the demand for foam blowing agents. Foam blowing agents are widely used in the production of different automotive parts such as side skirts, wiper cowls, roll pans, and bumpers. The market is expected to register growth during the forecast period because of the increasing demand for vehicles. The development of foams in the form of PS and PU has increased the growth of foam blowing agents in the global market. The increase in the application of foam blowing agents in the construction industry is also one of the major driving factors for the global foam blowing agents market. The growth in the construction industry has resulted in high demand for foam blowing agents. The increasing demand for housing, hospitality, flooring material, and effective sound furnishing is expected to increase the requirement for foam blowing agents during the forecast period.
Key Foam Blowing Agents Market Trend
The growing demand for foam blowing agents in China is the key market trend driving the foam blowing agents market growth. The moderate growth rate in the Chinese foam market is expected to bring out opportunities for the global market since the market in China is expected to grow for HC and HFO on a large scale, subsequent to the phaseout of HFCs and HCFCs. The demand for blowing agents from downstream users is expected to recover slowly as the Chinese economy shifts from an export-led to a consumption-driven model. This, coupled with a growing middle-class population and increasing awareness of environmental issues, will drive the growth for manufacturing blowing agents that are eco-friendlier.
Key Foam Blowing Agents Market Challenge
The major challenge impeding the foam blowing agents market growth is an increase in the use of hfcs and hcfcs in unauthorized sectors. There are manufacturing units that manufacture these harmful banned chemicals in an unauthorized manner. These manufacturing units are present in large numbers in specific developing and underdeveloped regions. APAC, South America, and the Middle East have these unauthorized sectors that manufacture these banned products. Not every manufacturing unit follows regulations, which becomes difficult for them to access the revenue generated from the unauthorized business. Since the ban on HFC and HCFC is imposed, the manufacturers cannot be traced, regardless of the implementation of orders; this imposition of a regulatory ban poses a major challenge to the industry.
This foam blowing agents market analysis report also provides detailed information on other upcoming trends and challenges that will have a far-reaching effect on the market growth.
