Microcellular Polyurethane Foam Market Analysis

The market for microcellular polyurethane foam is expected to grow at a CAGR of over 4% globally during the forecast period. The major factor driving the market is the increasing demand from the building and construction industry. On the flip side, stringent environmental regulations and the unfavorable conditions arising due to the COVID-19 outbreak are hindering the growth of the market.

  • The automotive industry is expected to dominate the global microcellular polyurethane foam market over the forecast period. 
  • Asia-Pacific region represents the largest market and is also expected to be the fastest-growing market over the forecast period owing to the increasing consumption from countries such as China, India, and Japan.

Microcellular Polyurethane Foam Market Trends

This section covers the major market trends shaping the Microcellular Polyurethane Foam Market according to our research experts:

Growing Demand from the Automotive Industry

  • Microcellular polyurethane foam is widely used in the automotive industry and is expected to grow rapidly during the forecast period.
  • Microcellular polyurethane foams serve a greater purpose in the automotive industry owing to their lightweight as they are used for a variety of purposes such as sealing, gaskets, weatherproofing, cushioning and vibration control.
  • In the automotive sector, apart from engine covers, polyurethane foams are used in seating for comfort as well as cushioning and car bodies to provide insulation against heat and noise of the engine.
  • High-density closed-cell foams are used in the bumper and other protective applications because of their high strength and flexibility whereas open cell structures are often used to produce engine covers that are characterized by good sound absorption and thermal engine encapsulation. While the part has an open-cell foam structure on the bottom surface and can absorb a lot of energy because of the open-cell foam structure, the material on the front side forms a coherent skin with an attractive surface appearance.
  • Global automotive production is currently on the decline with a decrease in production in 2018 and 2019. But, with the growing advancements to decrease the weight of automobiles, the usage of microcellular polyurethane foams has been growing. Over the forecast period, the automobile production is expected to be stabilized with a considerable in production expected.
  • Hence, owing to the above mentioned factors, the demand for microcellular polyurethane foams from automobile segment is expected to increase over the forecast period.
