Opportunities in the Polyurethane Foam Market: Growth Trends, Forecast and Competitive Analysis
The future of the polyurethane (PU) foam market looks promising with opportunities in building and construction, bedding and furniture, automotive and transportation, electrical and electronics, and footwear application. The global polyurethane foam market is declined in 2020 due to the global economic recession led by COVID-19. However, the market will witness recovery in the year 2021, and it is expected to reach an estimated $63.4 billion by 2026 with a CAGR of 4.6% from 2021 to 2026. The major growth drivers for this market are growth in bedding and furniture industry, high demand of PU foam in building insulation for energy conservation and increasing automotive production.
Emerging trends, which have a direct impact on the dynamics of the polyurethane foam industry, include emergence of carbon dioxide-based flexible foam, and polyurethane foam based on natural raw materials. Recticel Group, Eurofoam Group, Carpenter, Mitsui Chemical, Vitafoam, and NCFI are among the major polyurethane foam manufacturers.
