Major Driver Impacting Market Growth
The growing demand for flexible foam from various industries is expected to boost the growth of the flexible foam market going forward. Flexible foam is a polymer or plastic that has been produced from petroleum hydrocarbons and other organic chemicals joined by urethane bonds. It is employed in a variety of industrial applications due to exceptional qualities, lower raw material costs, and reliability. The increased usage of flexible foam in end-user industries leads to growing demand, which in turn propels the flexible foam market. For instance, in July 2021, according to Europur, a UK-based European association of flexible polyurethane foam block manufacturers, in Europe, including Russia and Turkey, there were 160 factories producing flexible polyurethane slab stock foam, producing 1.5 million tons of foam annually. In Europe, approximately 50% of the flexible polyurethane foam produced is utilized in upholstered furniture, 35% in bedding, 10% in transportation, and the remaining in other applications such as kitchen sponges or apparel. Therefore, the growing demand for flexible foam from various industries is driving the growth of the flexible foam market.
