Pune, India -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/25/2020 -- What is Polymer Foam??

Polymer foams have wide application area due to their light weight, resistance to impact, high thermal insulation, and damping properties. Automotive, packing industry, electronic, aerospace, building construction, bedding, and medical applications are some of the fields that polymer foams have been used. However, depending on their cell structure—open or closed cell—polymer foams have different properties and different application areas.

In this work, the most used thermoplastic foams with closed cells such as polypropylene, polyethylene, and polystyrene or polylactic acid have been focused. Their melt strength, degree of crystallinity for semi-crystalline ones, and viscosity have great importance on cell morphology.

Fragmented Nature of Market to Propel Players to Set New Trajectories

The competitive landscape of the polymer foam market is fragmented in nature owing to the presence of both international as well as local players. Most of the key players have their base in Asia Pacific, thus making this region dominate the market. Some of the key industry developments in the polymer foam market include:

March 2019 – A specialty chemical producer of damping, sealing, bonding, and reinforcing solutions for the construction and automotive industry called Sika AG acquired a Belarus based manufacturer of polyurethane foam systems called Belineco LLC IN March 2019. This acquisition is anticipated to provide the opportunity of developing polyurethane foams to Sika.

July 2019 – Texas Foam, the Bastrop-based company in Texas, U.S., was acquired by a North American provider of energy management components and protective packaging solutions called Huntington Solutions, LLC. The main focus behind this acquisition was to broaden the production capabilities of Texas Foam.

Asia Pacific to Lead Owing to Presence of Major Market Vendors
Geographically, the market is dominated by Asia Pacific and likely to remain the same in the forecast duration as well. This is attributable to the increasing demand from the building and construction application and packaging industries in the region. The rise in population, coupled with the increase in disposable income and change in lifestyle of people has led to a surge in construction activities in the region.

An increase in the number of building activities in the developing nations of Asia Pacific such as India and China are boosting the regional market. China, India, and Japan are the key nations contributing major shares to the market globally.

Besides this, the rise in demand from the interior designing sector is likely to help Europe generate remarkable polymer foam market revenue in the forecast period.
