Europe Spray Polyurethane Foam Market Share, by Application, 2013 – 2024 (USD Million)

 

Rapidly growing construction industry in emerging economies will drive the spray polyurethane foam market due to its positive demand for housing facilities in the regions. Initiatives by various governments internationally to enhance the public infrastructure along with increase in spending power of consumers will propel the construction industry internationally. SPF provides higher efficiency when compared to traditional insulation materials which makes it favorable for the construction sector. Spray polyurethane foam offers high thermal resistance, lowers utility costs and can reduce heat transfer in addition to insulation which functions as a barrier to air and bulk water, depending on type and is also a retardant to moisture vapor. SPF protects and seals the building from penetration of cold air, hot air, sound and moisture and also acts as an insulating material on building substrates. More than, 90% of the SPF production is mainly used in building & construction activities, which generally includes roofs and walls owing to their effortless application. Furthermore, the product can reduce HVAC equipment needs owing to reduced cooling and heating demands and low equipment costs. These foams do not harm the ecosystem or human health once they are applied. Swelling investment in construction industry will boost the product demand in the near future.
 

In developed countries of Europe and North America several tax benefits and regulations have been introduced for conservation of energy, which has been an important driver for the product market growth over the recent years. In the United States., some major standards such as ASHRAE Standard 90.1 and ENERGY STAR codes applied for conservation of energy in buildings will further strengthen the use of SPF in the building & construction sector. Price volatility of raw materials may hamper the product market growth as these constituents are derived from benzene, a derivative of crude oil. This will restrain SPF production and profit margin of suppliers. Moreover, its occupational health hazards are the key limiting factors for spray polyurethane foam. Nevertheless, growing awareness of health hazards has increased the demand for bio-based products in the market.
 

Market Segmentation, Outlook & Regional Insights: Spray Polyurethane Foam (SPF) Market
