DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "North America Automotive Foams Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Type (PU, Polyolefin), By Application (Seating, Bumper Systems), By End Use (Cars, LCVs), By Country (U.S., Mexico), And Segment Forecasts, 2021 - 2028" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The North America automotive foams market size is anticipated to reach USD 3.26 billion by 2028., growing at a CAGR of 3.7% over the forecast period.
The market growth is credited to the rapid expansion of the automotive industry in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. Vehicles are considered a status symbol in society, which has propelled vehicle sales due to transitioning lifestyles and the easy availability of low-end models of cars by prominent automotive OEMs. Also, rising sales of Electric Vehicles (EVs) due to environmental concerns arising from petrol and diesel vehicles are expected to drive the market.
The U.S. is the regional market that held the maximum revenue share. The automotive OEMs and their suppliers in the U.S. are constantly innovating their product range by providing maximum comfort for better driving and commuting experience. This has propelled them to include automotive foams due to their softness, low heat transfer properties, and flexibility. The automotive foams are produced from Polyurethane (PU), and polyolefins like Ethylene-vinyl Acetate (EVA), Polyethylene (PE), Polypropylene (PP), and ethylene propylene diene monomer.
They are used in various automotive components, such as seating, armrests, door panels, bumpers, headliners, gaskets, and automotive trims, reducing the vehicle's overall weight. This helps in improving the fuel efficiency of the vehicle. Polyurethane and polypropylene are the most widely used materials in the manufacturing of automotive foams. Their superior properties, including durability, high-load bearing capacity, impact resistance, and chemical resistance make them suitable for a variety of applications mentioned above.
