The global market for foamed plastic (polyurathanes) is expected to reach $ 20.40 billion by 2020. High demand for low cost, long lasting materials and rising concern of energy efficiency in applications mentioned above are expected to create lot of opportunities for this market.

The growth of the SPF market is influenced by many factors such as swapping green building techniques, an ageing health conscious population, government regulations, increased demand for bio based products, and greater awareness among end users about the energy usage in the buildings. The limiting factors of the SPF market are the threats it posses to human health. The remnants remain in the natural environment for a period of time from the time it is applied to the walls, and the exposure to the remnants of SPF chemicals found in vapors, aerosols, dust or on the surfaces affect health and cause chronic disease such as asthma. This factor is hampering the growth of the market.

The SPF type market is segmented into two-component open cell foam (low density), two-component closed cell foam (medium density), & two-component closed cell foam (high density) and one component foam (OFC). Closed-cell foam is the largest revenue generating segment due to its core strength such as better R-value than open-cell foams.

SPF application market is segmented into residential walls, residential roofing, commercial walls, commercial roofing, and others (medical, telecom, transportation, etc). Commercial roofing is the largest revenue generating segment due to its strength of adding value to the structure. SPF, once applied to the roofs would help in energy consumption, up to 30%-70% and it also acts as a protective shield that enhances the life span of the walls.

SPF geography market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and RoW. North America is the dominating segment of this market due to its increasing adoption of eco-friendly methods. .
