Worldwide Analysis on the Polyurethane Foam Blowing Agents Market - Forecast to 2023: Growing Demand from Automotive & Construction Industries - ResearchAndMarkets.com

The "Global Polyurethane Foam Blowing Agents Market 2019-2023" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The polyurethane foam blowing agents market will register a CAGR of over 6% by 2023.

The growing demand for PU foams in emerging economies such as India, China, Malaysia, Russia, and Brazil is attributed to the economic and industrial development in these countries. PU foams are used in industries such as the construction, automotive, electrical and electronics, paper manufacturing, paints and coatings, and oil and gas. The rise in demand for PU foams, the demand for foam blowing agents such as HC, HFC, HCFC, and HFO increases.

Growing demand for PU foam blowing agents from automotive and construction industries

The rise in automotive production, the demand for PU foams is increasing, PU foams are increasingly used in the manufacture of interior components in cars such as seats, headrests, armrests, roof liners, dashboards, and instrument panels. Hence, with the increased use of PU foams, the demand for PU foam blowing agents is rising.

Increased availability of alternative blowing agents

Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and HCFCs, which include CFC-11, CFC-12, HCFC-141b, and HCFC-142b, have been used as high-performance PU foam blowing agents because of their physical properties such as relatively high molecular weight, stability, and low toxicity. Although HCFC-141b has been widely used as a blowing agent, its production is stopped.
