Global Closed Cell Polyurethane Foam Market Overview:
Polyurethane is a type of polymer or plastic which belongs to the wide range and highly diversified family of polymers. Closed cell polyurethane foam is available in hard foam, its hardness depends on the density of the foam. The cells or bubbles in the closed cell polyurethane foam are crammed together in a compact configuration, which makes them rigid and strong. These cells are filled with gases, which make them ideal insulators and water resistant. Further, the increase in the use of polyurethane foam owing to the growing demand for insulation from the building & construction industry is one of the factors driving the Closed Cell Polyurethane Foam market. Some of the key players profiled in the study are BASF SE (Germany), Covestro (Germany), The Dow Chemical Company (United States), Huntsman Corporation (United States), Cellofoam (United States), Armacell International (United Kingdom), Glava A/S (Norway) and Wisconsin Foam (United States).
On the basis of geography, the market of Closed Cell Polyurethane Foam has been segmented into South America (Brazil, Argentina, Rest of South America), Asia Pacific (China, Japan, India, South Korea, Taiwan, Australia, Rest of Asia-Pacific), Europe (Germany, France, Italy, United Kingdom, Netherlands, Rest of Europe), MEA (Middle East, Africa), North America (United States, Canada, Mexico). If we see Market by Properties, the sub-segment i.e. Thermal Resistance will boost the Closed Cell Polyurethane Foam market. Additionally, the rising demand from SMEs and various industry verticals gives enough cushion to market growth.
