2025 Global Market Insights Inc.
2Industry Overview
- Flexible Foam Market to surpass USD 65 billion by
2025 driven by increasing utilization of thermal
insulation in the construction industry Rapid
growth in the automotive and transportation
industry. Strong outlook with versatile end-user
applications including furniture upholstery,
packaging, construction, consumer goods, bedding,
pillows, mattresses, carpet cushion, automotive
interiors etc., are among key factors driving the
flexible foam market growth. Features such as
lightweight, high resiliency, durability, and
improved safety comfort will enhance the
product scope in end-use applications. Shifting
focus of the manufacturers towards development of
products using bio-based materials will further
stimulate the product demand. - Increasing disposable income along with rising
inclination of consumers towards the purchase of
luxurious interiors will propel the flexible foam
market demand. Growing demand for memory and
viscoelastic foam in bedding and mattress
products along with rapid expansion in the
flexible packaging industry owing to the enhanced
protection against vibration during shipping will
propel the industry growth. Also, increasing
focus of manufacturers towards developing
lightweight and fuel-efficient vehicles provides
a positive outlook for the industry growth.

- Growing demand for the product in furniture and
upholstery applications to provide improved
cushioning, low water absorption, good mechanical
strength and absorption of static stress will
enhance the market penetration. Favourable
regulations provided by government bodies
regarding the use of thermal insulation materials
in the construction sector globally will fuel the
industry expansion. For instance, the
International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) has
set a standard criterion to qualify in the
national program through the construction of
energy-efficient buildings with efficiency level
between 40 to 50 percent compared to other
houses. However, fluctuation of raw material
costs and stringent regulations regarding the use
of hazardous raw materials during the
manufacturing of the product may hamper the
demand. - Polyurethane dominated the flexible foam market
and accounted for over 60 of the overall demand
in 2018. Polyurethane is widely used in numerous
applications such as automotive interior
components, lightweight automotive parts,
cushioning in beddings and upholstery and as
thermal insulation products in buildings etc.
Features such as enhanced cushioning,
lightweight, durability, lower installation time,
increased shelf life and high resiliency are
among key properties expected to drive the
flexible polyurethane foam demand.

- Furniture upholstery end-use segment accounted
for over USD 10 billion in 2018. Increasing
number of restaurants with improved cushioning
and comfort requirement supported by high
consumer spending on luxurious interiors will
positively influence the flexible foam market
revenues. Technological advancements in flexible
foam materials have fueled the applications scope
in the past few years. Recent product
developments in the flexible foam products have
enabled the manufacturers to develop smart memory
or viscoelastic products that provide better
durability, longer product life and protection
against allergens and microorganisms. - Asia Pacific dominated the flexible foam market
and accounted for over 30 of the overall demand
in 2018. Surging consumer spending on luxurious
products and consumer goods coupled with the
rising demand for memory foams in beddings and
mattresses will proliferate the regional industry
growth. Significant growth in the regional
construction industry owing to an increasing
disposable income, and favourable FDI policies
are propelling the regional growth during the
forecasted timeframe. Growing hospitality
industry, particularly in South-East Asian
countries including Malaysia, Thailand,
Indonesia, Vietnam, and Singapore owing to
favourable FDI policies, will stimulate the
market development.

- BASF, Covestro AG, Huntsman International, Dow
Chemical Company and Recticel are among major
flexible foam manufacturers. Global industry
share is highly fragmented with the presence of
multinational and regional players. The
manufacturers are involved in production capacity
expansions, mergers acquisitions, and new
product launches, to gain a competitive share.
For instance, in October 2014, Sekisui Chemical
announced to invest USD 3 million in the
manufacturing facilities in Coldwater, Michigan
to cater the growing demand from the North
American market.
