However, variation in the cost of the raw materials <strong>and</strong> shifting preference towards biodegradable plastics as a<br />

reliable substitute replacing non-biodegradable foam are expected to limit market growth over the forecast<br />

period. Yet, large corporations are increasingly setting up supply partnerships <strong>and</strong> implementing forward <strong>and</strong><br />

backward integration in the supply chain network, thus driving market growth in the last couple of years.<br />

Although, changing fuel prices, increasing dem<strong>and</strong> for premium quality products at cheap rates <strong>and</strong> growing<br />

competition in the market are further restraining market progress to a certain extent.<br />

Polyethylene is considered as one fastest growing segment in the structural foam industry with substantial<br />

revenue generation in the last couple of years. Growing popularity of the polyethylene foam market segment is<br />

credited to the factors such as lightweight, durability, heat resistance <strong>and</strong> a closed-cell material composition.<br />

Polyethylene is widely used in the packaging of delicate products <strong>and</strong> automobile parts, thus fostering market<br />

value in the recent years.<br />

Rigid polyurethanes has also witnessed substantial growth in the last couple of years owing to increase in<br />

adoption as a structural material. Rigid polyurethanes has also displayed important properties such as<br />

toughness, lightweight, <strong>and</strong> resilience. Rigid polyurethanes also provide protection against chemical reactions<br />

<strong>and</strong> moisture effects thus making it an ideal choice for various application such as building & product insulation.<br />

Growing dem<strong>and</strong> for structural foams in the automobile sector are expected to fuel market growth over the<br />

forecast period. Additionally, introduction of lightweight composites <strong>and</strong> its advantages are expected to boost<br />

market dem<strong>and</strong> for structural foam in upcoming years as well. Recently, integration of the structural foam into<br />

various parts of a vehicle like body-side joints, chains, ledges, under body cross-vehicle frame, longitudinal<br />

frames or frame bars, machine cradles, body-side rails, door panels <strong>and</strong> hydro-formed reinforcements.<br />

The structural foam market is divided <strong>by</strong> region as North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America <strong>and</strong> Africa.<br />

North America has shown major growth in recent years owing to the rise in the adoption of latest technologies<br />

in construction & building industry <strong>and</strong> existence of well-established industrial infrastructure.<br />

Asia-Pacific region is predicted to hold major market share in the structural foam industry with massive growth<br />

in forecast period. Countries such as India, China <strong>and</strong> Indonesia are leading the Asia-Pacific’s market with high<br />

economic growth, ever-growing population, increasing st<strong>and</strong>ard of living, <strong>and</strong> significant investment <strong>by</strong> leading<br />

industry players considering potential growth opportunities in the region. The key players in the structural foam<br />

industry are Armacell International S.A., Diab International AB, Evonik Industries AG, Covestro AG, <strong>and</strong> Gurit<br />

Holding AG.<br />
