"Based on foam type, polyolefin foam is expected to be the fastest growing market during the forecast period, in terms of value."
Polyolefin foams are considered more environmentally friendly compared to traditional foam materials made with blowing agent like HCFCs or HFCs. They are recyclable and can be reused or repurposed, contributing to a circular economy and reducing waste generation. Polyolefin foams are cost-effective materials compared to some alternative blowing agent and foam materials. Their availability, ease of processing, and relatively low production costs make them attractive options for manufacturers seeking economical solutions without compromising on performance or environmental sustainability.
"Based on type, Hydrocarbons is the largest market during the forecast period, in terms of value."
Hydrocarbons are compatible with existing foam production equipment and processes, minimizing the need for costly modifications or retooling. This compatibility simplifies the transition for manufacturers switching from other blowing agent to hydrocarbons. Hydrocarbon foams offer excellent thermal insulation properties, low flammability, and good mechanical strength, making them suitable for a wide range of applications where performance is critical.
"Based on region, Asia Pacific is the fastest growing market for blowing agent in 2022, in terms of value."
The construction industry in Asia Pacific has witnessed robust growth driven by infrastructure development, urban expansion, and increasing investments in residential, commercial, and industrial projects. Blowing agent are widely used in construction materials such as insulation foam, sealants, and adhesives, contributing to the high demand for these products in the region.
