logoCovid-19 Impact

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted economies as well as individuals across the globe owing to the strict lockdown imposed by the government. Various industries such as automotive, construction, manufacturing, and others halted their production to curb the cases of COVID-19. In addition, the supply chain of products & services is disrupted as well as consumer spending is limited, which in turn, impacted the growth of numerous industries. Similarly, COVID-19 negatively impacted the growth of the global high heat foam market due to the halt in the operation of the construction and automotive sector as these are the major industries that have a high requirement of high heat foam. For instance, according to the International Labor Organization's assessment, COVID-19 would have an impact on about 2.7 billion workers or 81% of the world's workforce, and it is reasonable to assume that this number includes those employed in the construction industry.

logo Growth Drivers

  • Increasing applications of high heat foams in various industry verticals to drive market growth

The growing demand for high heat foam in various industry verticals such as construction, automotive, aerospace, and others is projected to drive market growth during the forecast period. High heat foam has different types of applications in these sectors. For example, it is used in building & construction for the applications of concrete block insulation, HVACs, thermal energy transmissions, and others. Urbanization, modular building technologies, and the government's push towards green building and infrastructure development are the main factors that contribute to the building and construction industry's growth. For instance, the US Census Bureau reports that from the Seasonally Adjusted Annual Rate (SAAR) of USD 1,524.2 billion in April 2021 to USD 1,744.8 billion in April 2022, monthly construction spending increased. Additionally, the increasing application from the aerospace industry is also one of the prominent factors that influence the growth of the global high heat foam market during the forecast period. In the aerospace industry, high heat foam is used for numerous applications such as insulation panels, foam seating, aircraft fuel efficiency, and others. Due to their excellent qualities, like energy efficiency and strength retention in adverse climatic situations, high heat foams including polyimide, melamine, silicone, and others are utilized in the aerospace industry. Moreover, the factors such as a growth in aircraft production, an increase in air traffic, and technological advancements in aviation, the aerospace business is expanding substantially. For instance, the India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF) estimates that the Indian aircraft market will reach US$70 billion by 2030. Therefore, the growing applications of high heat foam in various industry verticals are accountable for the growth of the market.

logo Restraints

  • Volatility in the raw material prices is projected to hamper the market during the forecast period

Volatility in the raw material prices is expected to hinder the global high heat foam market during the forecast period. For the production of high-heat foams, raw materials including refined petroleum or petroleum-based derivatives like high-density polyethylene (HDPE), low-density polyethylene (LDPE), resins, and inorganic compounds are utilized. Because of variations in the market's supply and demand for crude oil, the price of petroleum and its derivatives is susceptible to significant volatility. For instance, as per US Energy Information Administration (EIA) report, the average monthly US refiner purchase cost of crude oil reached USD 60.53 per barrel in July 2019, USD 51.36 per barrel in January 2021, and USD 73.81 per barrel in December 2021. The price volatility of the derivatives and resins used to make high heat foams is a result of the fluctuating price of crude oil, which also affects the price of high heat foam. The market for high heat foam is also experiencing a significant disruption due to these variables.

logo Opportunities

  • Increasing automotive demand coupled with the rising need for lightweight vehicles expected to offer an attractive opportunity for market growth

The increasing automotive demand coupled with the rising need for lightweight vehicles is expected to offer an attractive opportunity for the growth of the global high heat foam market during the forecast period. Foam systems have shown to be a great way to lower emissions and fulfill international fuel economy criteria because they are lightweight, strong, and resistant to extreme heat. For example, a 10% reduction in vehicle weight can result in a 6%-8% fuel economy improvement. Moreover, according to the data from the US Department of Energy, by 2030, the use of lightweight parts and high-efficiency engines made possible by new materials in a quarter of the U.S. fleet could result in yearly fuel savings of more than 5 billion gallons. Thus, the increasing automotive demand coupled with the need for light vehicles is projected to provide an attractive opportunity for the high heat foam market.

logoSegmentation Analysis

The global high heat foam market is segmented based on type, application, and region.

Based on type, the global market is bifurcated into silicone, polyimide, melamine, polyethylene, and others. The silicone segment dominated in 2021 and is expected to show its dominance during the forecast period. The segment growth is attributed to the properties such as heat resistance and thermal stability compared to the other materials such as polyimide, polyethylene, melamine, and others. In contrast to polyurethane, which is prone to toxicity during heat decomposition, silicone foams are toxin-free. Silicone-based foams are increasingly being used for insulation across a wide range of industries, which increases demand and market opportunities. Furthermore, the high flame rating and great insulation properties of silicone foams are expanding their use in buildings, automobiles, and other industries.

Based on application, the global market is segmented into automotive, railway, industrial, aerospace, and others. The automotive segment is projected to hold a significant market share over the forecast period. High heat foams are in high demand and have numerous uses in the automobile industry, including the substitution of metal sheets, and acoustic and thermal insulation. Due to the factors such as new technological advancements, an increase in the demand for passenger cars, and the expansion of OEMs & the aftermarket, the automotive industry is rapidly expanding. For instance, the overall output of automotive vehicles increased from 77,621,582 units in 2020 to 80,145,988 units in 2021, according to the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (OICA). These factors would lead to a significant increase in the demand for high heat foams in the automotive sector throughout the forecast period.

logoRecent Developments:

  • In January 2022, the CHT Group introduced the latest silicone foam for EV battery packs and electronics. This launch met the requirements for moisture protection and thermal runaway prevention. It also has a wide range of uses in electronics and the automobile industries.
  • In May 2021, the SEI Group LLC acquired Tailored Foam of Florid Inc., a leading foam insulation contractor. With this acquisition, the SEI Group would have a wider range of products, solid customer relationships, and a more competitive line of spray foam.
