Market Definition

Polyurethane foam is a polymer obtained by reacting diisocyanate and polyol. Polyurethane foam is generally called PU foam or PUR foam. Polyurethane foam provides insulation and protection to the materials from external sources that cause corrosion. The type of reagent or catalyst used with isocyanate in polyurethane foam production depends on the PU foam's application. There are three types of polyurethane foam available, rigid, flexible, and spray foam.

North America Polyurethane Foam Market Dynamics

This section deals with understanding the market drivers, advantages, restraints, and challenges. All of this is discussed in detail below:

Drivers

• Positive outlook toward the construction sector

The construction industry can be a major driving force in expanding the polyurethane foam market. Construction-related activities are rising due to foreign direct investment in emerging economies. Cement, wood, glass, metals, and clay are some of the most common materials used in the construction industry. Furthermore, to lessen noise pollution, polyurethane foam sealants can be effective as they minimize sound transmission through gaps in wall, floor, or roof assemblies. Such growth of construction-related activities and the wide application of polyurethane foam in the construction industry has increased the market growth of polyurethane foam.

• Growing acceptance in the automotive and aviation sector

Polyurethane foam is a polymeric material with high tensile strength, low weight, chemical resistance, processability, and mechanical characteristics that have been utilized in various applications. Both open and closed-cell foams can be used in automotive cushioning and seating in modern cars. Polyurethane foam in current automobiles offers vehicles greater mileage due to its durable and extremely lightweight nature that further lowers the overall weight of a car. Hence, fuel efficiency is improved which has reduced environmental impact.

The application of polyurethane foam in the aerospace industry is too diverse. It is used in structural pieces such as passenger cabin walls, baggage sections, ceilings, lavatory elements, flight deck pads, and class and section dividers. Such high-end-use applications in the automotive and aviation sector may drive the market growth of polyurethane foam.

Opportunity

•  Supportive government policies regarding investment in domestic markets

The increased disposable income, rapid urbanization, diverse industrial applications, high consumption, increased foreign direct investment, and promising export potential is some factors encouraging chemical industry growth in developing economies. Various upcoming opportunities to manufacture specialty chemicals and polymer products will create a huge domestic demand.

Furthermore, the key market players are exploring opportunities to expand their business by merging or acquiring local companies for technology and capital purpose, thus offering a wide opportunity to grow the North America polyurethane foam market.

Restraints/Challenges

• Environmental and health hazards associated with the usage of polyurethane foam

Polyurethanes are mainly derived from crude-based raw materials. This leads to the combustibility and reactivity of solvents which further make them degrade and release harmful chemicals and gases. Along with that synthetic polyurethane foam is said to be non-biodegradable, which will also lead to an increase in the dumping of wastes which in turn causes environmental concerns. The manufacturers have to spend on research and development and recycling units to overcome these factors which will have an impact on the production and product cost. In conclusion, hazards caused by PUF act as a restraint for the polyurethane foam market by affecting the product cost and being a less preferable option for sustainable product consumers.

• Availability of  substitutes in market

The substitutes for PUF in the market are soy-based sustainable foams, polyolefin foams, and latex are said to be some of the substitutes for polyurethane foams. Growing environmental awareness and the interest in sustainable solutions among customers is the driving factor that makes the manufacturers focus on sustainable and eco-friendly foams. Irrespective of the sector and the applications, eco-friendly products always find a way to dominate the market. The recent growth of the eco-friendly foam market and the manufacturers' interest in them can act as a restraining factor for the polyurethane foam market.

The high volatility of raw materials, the need for high-standard production methods, and safety concerns during production also give an edge to bio-based foams compared to crude-based foams. Considering the reasons above, it is evident that the availability of alternatives is a restraint for the polyurethane foam market.

Recent Developments

• In September 2022, Saint-Gobain received all the required approvals from relevant authorities to acquire GCP Applied Technologies Inc. (a major North America player in construction chemicals). This acquisition helped the company to gain more recognition in the field of construction chemicals.
• In March 2022, BASF SE acquired a new site in Canada for the production of battery materials and recycling expansion. The company states that this expansion helped them to power their North America transition to e-mobility. They plan to start with the cathode active materials and follow up with precursor cathode materials, recycling, and metals refining capabilities.
