Automotive Foam Market

Automotive foams are composed mainly out of polymeric materials by combining gas & solid phase materials. This combination gives rise to the formation of foams. This reaction should emanate brisk effervescence to go through smoothly. Foams are soft materials used in seating mainly due to their tenderness, insulating properties as well as shock absorption properties. The technological progress achieved in the manufacturing of foams is paving the way in making automotive seating more comfortable.

Polyurethane foam is the most widely used type of foam among all other types. The Polyurethane (PU) foam segment accounted for approximately 50% of the total revenue of the automotive foam market. The widespread use of polyurethane foam can be attributed to properties like thermal & sound insulation, shock resistance, easy installation, fire resistance, and improved lightweight properties. DowDuPont Inc. is one of the biggest manufacturing companies with regards to the automotive foam market with its presence in all the segments. The leading companies in the automotive foam market are investing heavily in scientific research to improve the automotive seating technology and cater to the growing needs of the automotive market. Companies are trying business strategies like forward & backward integration to improve their position in the automotive foam market. Various companies are going for mergers & acquisitions to expand their global presence & penetrate further into the untapped markets.

The Asia Pacific region is witnessing tremendous growth in the automotive foam market owing to rapid urbanization & increased disposable income. With the expansion cities and diminishing rural areas in this region, the automotive market is growing rapidly in this region thereby increasing demand for automotive seating. In North American & European regions, the developing countries are experiencing demand for automotive foam is passenger vehicles, whereas the developed countries are experienced a heavy demand from the public transport sector. The Middle East is an emerging player in the automotive foam market.
