Technical Foam Market by Form (Flexible, Rigid, Spray), Material (Elastomeric, PU, PE, Expanded Foam), End Use (Electricals & Electronics, Automotive & Transportation, Commercial Buildings, Office Equipment, Medical), and Region - Global Forecast to 2025
The technical foam market is projected to reach USD 15.7 billion by 2025, at a CAGR of 11.6%. The increase in demand for technical foam from the automotive & transportation sector and the rising demand for acoustic solutions to tackle noise pollution are the major factors responsible for the market growth of technical foam.
The flexible foam segment is projected to be the largest segment during the forecast period in terms of volume
Based on form, the flexible foam segment accounted for the largest share in 2019. Flexible technical foams are suitable for manufacturing automotive seat cushioning, office equipment, and furniture for comfort and support. Due to their shock absorbing capacity, they are suitable for use in the packaging of electrical devices and medical wipes & swabs. Apart from these properties, flexible foams are less expensive compared to rigid and spray foam, which drives the growth of this segment.
By material, polyurethane is expected to be the largest segment of the technical foam market during the forecast period
By material, the polyurethane segment accounted for the largest share of the technical foam market in 2019. This large share is attributed mainly to its properties, such as low weight, heat preservation, sound absorption, and excellent cushioning. Technical PU foams are mainly used in the automotive & transportation and commercial buildings segments. These foams are more widely used compared to other materials owing to their low heat conduction coefficient, low density, low water absorption, relatively good mechanical strength, and insulating properties.
Automotive & transportation is projected to be the largest end use of the technical foam market during the forecast period
Technical foam is preferred due to its low weight and durability for high-temperature insulation solutions. These foams also offer resistance to heat & fire, and noise dampening for boats & ships. Technical foam provides comfort, acoustic, and fire insulation. Thus, increasing demand for better vehicle operational and environmental efficiency, temperature control, superior dielectric insulation qualities, and thermal conductivity of various materials make technical foam suited for a broad range of specialist automotive applications. These are the prime factors responsible for the growth of the automotive & transportation end use of technical foam.
Asia Pacific projected to grow at highest CAGR during the forecast period
Asia Pacific accounted for the largest share of the global technical foam market in 2019, followed by Europe and North America. China is one of the major consumers of technical foam in the Asia Pacific region. The market in Asia Pacific is witnessing growth owing to the industrial development in the region and its improving economic conditions. Moreover, several foreign players are adopting inorganic growth strategies to establish their presence in the region, which is expected to trigger the Asia Pacific technical foam market.

The study involved four major activities to estimate the current size of the technical foam market. Exhaustive secondary research was carried out to collect information on the market, peer markets, and the parent market. The next step was to validate the findings obtained from secondary sources, assumptions, and sizing with industry experts across the value chain through primary research. Both, the top-down and bottom-up approaches were employed to estimate the complete market size. Thereafter, the market breakdown and data triangulation procedures were used to estimate the market size of segments and subsegments.
Secondary Research
Secondary data includes company information obtained from annual reports, press releases, and investor presentations; white papers; and articles by recognized authors. In the market engineering process (including calculations for market statistics, market breakdown, market size estimations, market forecast, and data triangulation), both, the top-down and bottom-up approaches were extensively used, along with several data triangulation methods to obtain, verify, and validate the market revenues arrived at. Extensive qualitative and quantitative analysis was performed on the complete market engineering process to list key information/insights throughout the report.
Primary Research
In the primary research process, experts from the supply and demand sides were interviewed to obtain qualitative and quantitative information and to validate the data arrived at through secondary research. Primary sources from the supply side included industry experts such as CEOs, vice presidents, marketing directors, technology & innovation directors, and related key executives from various key companies and organizations operating in the technical foam market. Following is the breakdown of primary respondents.

Market Size Estimation
Both, the top-down and bottom-up approaches were used to estimate and validate the total size of the technical foam market. These methods were also used extensively to estimate the size of various subsegments in the market. The research methodology used to estimate the market size included the following:
- Key players in the industry and markets were identified through extensive secondary research.
- The industry’s supply chain and market size, in terms of volume and value, were determined through primary and secondary research processes.
- All percentage shares, splits, and breakdowns were determined using secondary sources and verified through primary sources.
Data Triangulation
After arriving at the overall market size-using the technical foam market size estimation process explained above-the market was split into several segments and subsegments. To complete the overall market engineering process and arrive at the exact statistics of each market segment and subsegment, the data triangulation, and market breakdown procedures were employed, wherever applicable. The data was triangulated by studying various factors and trends from both, the demand and supply sides.
