Slabstock foams including both slabstock polyether and slabstock polyester accounted
for a major chunk in the global market and together accounted for over 60% of total
market in 2012. Slabstock foams are widely used in furniture, mattresses, carpet
cushions and packaging industries. The growth of furniture market on account of
growing disposable income mainly in developing nations is expected to fuel the
demand for slabstock foams. Slabstock polyester is expected to be the fastest growing
polyurethane foam at an estimated CAGR of 5.4% from 2013 to 2020. Global market
for molded foam parts is expected to exceed a market worth USD 3.50 billion by 2020
at an estimated CAGR of 7.8% from 2013 to 2020.
Further Key findings from the study suggest:

Global rigid polyurethane foams demand is expected to reach 5,844.3 kilo tons
by 2020, growing at a CAGR of 5.2% from 2013 to 2020

Asia Pacific emerged as the leading market for rigid polyurethane foams and
accounted for just over 40% of market volumes in 2012. The growth of
construction and furniture industries in China, India and Indonesia has
contributed to the growth of market. Asia Pacific along with being the largest
market is also expected to be the fastest growing market for rigid polyurethane
foams at an estimated CAGR of 6.2% from 2013 to 2020

North American market was led by the U.S. which accounted for over 85% of the
regional market in 2012. Government support to promote the use of polyurethane

foams for refrigeration application is expected to fuel its demand over the
forecast period

Europe accounted for just over one-third of the global market in 2012 and is
expected to grow at a relatively slower pace than other regions on account of
economic crisis which impacted demand in the region. Germany alone accounted
for over 20% of the total regional consumption in 2012

The global market for rigid polyurethane foam is dominated by top MNCs. Some
of the major companies operating in the global market include Armacell GMBH,
Dow Chemical Company, BASF SE, Bayer Material Science AG, Chemtura
Corporation, Future Foams Inc, Huntsman Corporation, Recticel SA/NV, Rogers
Corporation, Foamspartner Group, Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics
Corporation and Sekisui Alveo AG among some other companies.
