PMI Foam Market Outlook - 2021–2030

The global PMI Foam market was valued at $47.0 million in 2020, and is projected to reach $73.3 million by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 4.7% from 2020 to 2030. 

PMI stands for polymethacrylimide. PMI foam cores are one of the strongest options for building Sandwich composite panels. For the same density, PMI foam cores offer some of the highest overall strengths and stiffnesses of foam cores. Their characteristics include high dimensional stability, a closed cell structure, and high fatigue life. They can be cured and used at elevated temperatures. PMI foam cores have mainly been used in higher performance composite parts such as helicopter rotor blades, ailerons &stringer profiles in pressure bulkheads, high speed trains, UAVs, medical equipments, radome, and antennas.

Polymethacrylimide (PMI) foam is prepared by use of methacrylamide (MAM) and butyl methacrylate (BMA) copolymer through free radical copolymerization. This foam is widely used in aerospace & defense, transportation, sporting goods, and wind applications, as it offers exceptional mechanical properties, stability under heat, resistance toward solvent, and low thermal conductivity. The report highlights different factors that impact the growth of the global market such as key drivers, restraints, growth opportunities, and the role of different key players.

The global PMI Foam market is segmented on the basis of application. By application, it is classified as aerospace &defense, wind energy, transportation, and sporting goods. By region, the market is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.

Impact Of Covid-19 On The Globalpmi Foam Market

  • Sales of PMI Foam is directly proportional to the demand for helicopter rotor blades, ailerons & stringer profiles in pressure bulkheads, high speed trains, UAVs, medical equipment, radome, and antennas. However, these sectors got highly impacted by lockdown imposed due to the COVID-19 outbreak and recorded a huge decline in 2020 due to less workforce and disrupted supply chain.
  • COVID-19 impacted almost all industries by hindering various industrial operations and disrupting the supply chain. Maximum companies halted their operation due to fewer workforces. However, there is a sluggish decline in the global PMI Foam market due to impact of COVID-19. 
  • Furthermore, import and export activities were significantly impacted, which, in turn, adversely affected the industries using PMI Foam and thereby affecting the global PMI Foam market. 
  • According to the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), 30.0%–70.0% of pre-COVID-19 workforce of various industries, such as electrical and other third-party vendors migrated to their hometowns, due to uncertainties and loss of income during the lockdown. This unavailability or less availability of workforce is expected to directly affect the production and manufacturing activities, thereby resulting in decline in petrochemical industry, which in turnled to decline in the growth of the PMI foam market during the forecast period.
