Structural Foam Market Evaluation Targets Advancement Anticipated until 2018 – 2Posted by Pradnya on February 6th, 2020 Structural Foam Market: Introduction Structural foam is a material that is used in various end-use industries such as automotive, packaging and construction, to impart strength and to support existing structure of products. Generally, structural foam is formed through the injection and extrusion moulding process. Structural foam combines foamed core with solid outer side rather than remaining solid throughout the structure. Structural foam is a type of composite which is manufactured when a polymer, generally thermoset, is combined with either an inert gas during the moulding process. Structural foam has a low density inside it and high density at outer side, while maintaining strength and stiffness along with lightweight and flexibility. These features are expected to propel the demand for structural foam over traditional polymers such as polyurethane. Besides, structural foam also has good heat and pressure rSet featured imageesistance capacity, which increases their application scope in various industries. Structural Foam Market: Dynamics Growing construction induction along with increasing infrastructure spending is one of the key drivers for the growth of structural foam market throughout the assessment period. In developing regions, the residential construction industry is growing with healthy growth rate due to increasing disposable income of middle class population, which create significant growth opportunities for the structural foam market. Emerging regions such as Brazil, India, China, and Russia propel the demand for injection moulded structural foam, which in turn positively impact on the growth of structural foam market. Furthermore, the increasing demand for structural foam from the packaging industry or material handling industry is also projected to accelerate the growth of the global structural foam market. However, fluctuating raw material prices along with increasing environmental safety concerns is one of the factors expected to hamper the growth of the market. In current scenario, due to increasing environmental concerns, manufactures are focusing on bio-based foams using injection moulded techniques. This factor is estimated to hinder the growth of the structural foam market over the forecast period.
