Rigid Foam Market Analysis :

Rigid foam is a durable stock structure, which has a high degree of durability with high thermal stability, high compressive strength, and excellent insulation properties. Polyurethane is the largest class of polymeric foams and includes two major types, methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI) and toluene diisocyanate (TDI). Rigid foam sheaths are used as artificial materials to control the heat inside and thus reduce the energy consumption of the building. Rigid foams are made from expanded polystyrene (EPS), surface polystyrene (XPS), and polyisocyanurate, which are known for their heating properties and provide durability and moisture control. Rigid foams are used on the exterior & interior walls, underground, and roof assemblies to minimize the effect of available bridges. They can be applied to walls, roofs, and supports for profit or new construction to provide thermal resistance. Rigid foam is made of a variety of materials, including polystyrene extracted (XPS) and extended polystyrene due to its insulating properties, moisture control, and fire safety.
COVID-19 scenario analysis:

  • The COVID-19 pandemic has suddenly halted manufacturing operations around the world, affecting the demand for rigid foam and its manufacturing and processing. 
  • The most severely impacted end-use sectors of the foam industry are automotive and transportation, consumables, industrial equipment, construction, and electronics. 

Top impacting factors: Market scenario analysis, trends, drivers, and impact analysis

The growing demand for automotive and infrastructure development globally is expected to lead to increased productivity and consequently it is expected to stimulate growth of the polyurethane foam market during the forecast period. 

These foams not only help to save energy in buildings but also increase efficiency. In addition, increasing awareness of green building and production of bio-based products are expected to provide greater opportunities for market expansion. 

Marketers are increasingly competing with themselves in terms of factors such as inventory, price, operating costs, and product quality. The growing demand for automotive and infrastructure development globally is expected to lead to the growth of their product and as a result it is expected to drive the market for polyurethane foam during the forecast period. 

The growing importance of strong eco-friendly foam in building and construction is expected to transfer homebuilders to sustainable and environment-friendly firms such as cellulose rigid board placement and strong bio-composite polyurethane foam. 

Fluctuation in prices of raw materials and rules & regulations from environmental bodies are expected to hinder the growth of the rigid foam market.
