The market is mainly driven by the growing use of flexible foams in furniture & bedding,
automobiles, and packaging applications. In the automobile application, use of flexible foams
results in reduced weight of vehicles, while in the packaging application, these foams not only
ensure light weight of packages, but also offer cushioning and shock absorption properties.
Polyurethane (PU) foam is the largest type in the flexible foam market
Flexible polyurethane foams are commercially available in different forms such as slabstock,
molded, and integral skin. These foams are flexible, structured, and non-reactive to chemicals and
high temperatures, which makes them suitable for a wide variety of applications such as furniture
& bedding, packaging, automotive, apparels, footwear, and other niche applications. PU foam also
has environmental benefits; for instance, product made from polyurethane foam can be recycled
and reused. Hence, the flexible foam market is expected to grow at a significant pace during the
forecasted period.
Transportation is the fastest growing application segment in the flexible foam market
Transportation application includes automobile, railways and aerospace. But automobile is the
dominating industry in transportation application. The automobile industry is focusing on the
weight reduction of vehicles. Companies are finding innovative ways to make use of materials to
reduce the weight of the vehicles, which results in increasing efficiency. Flexible foam when
combined with metals, helps to decrease weight, increases shock absorption and reduces vibration
and dampening of the automobile. Hence, automobile manufacturers are focusing on increasing the
use of flexible foam in the automobile.
