DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Global Foam Blowing Agents Market Size, Share, Development, Growth and Demand Forecast to 2020" report to their offering.
Foam blowing agents refer to substances, which produce cellular structure through foaming process and increase thermal and acoustic insulation, and flexibility of final product. Foam blowing agents are used as additives in the manufacturing of foam and are injected through high pressure injection into the substrate, when they are in liquid state. These agents then create holes and expand in matrix providing cellular structure to the substrate. The cellular structure provides strength to the foam, while using very less material.
The global foam blowing agents market was valued at 332,690.0 metric tons in 2014, and it is expected to grow with a CAGR of 5.3% during 2015 - 2020. The factors driving the growth of the global market include increasing demand for polymeric foams in construction and automotive industries and high demand for foam blowing agents in the manufacturing of polyurethane foam
In 2014, the Asia-Pacific market held the largest share in the global foam blowing agents market, in terms of value and volume. The major reasons behind the sustained growth in the region are increasing consumption of blowing agents in China and growing base of end-use industries of polymer foams. However, the increasing international pressure of reducing the consumption of HFCs and HCFCs would hinder the growth of the Asia-Pacific foam blowing agents market to some extent.
