COVID-19 Impact on the Foam Market
The outbreak of COVID-19 has disrupted the production of raw materials used in paints and coatings manufacturing. Asian countries such as India, China, Japan, Singapore, and Thailand are the hubs for paints and coatings manufacturing and are major suppliers of these raw materials. The outbreak of the novel coronavirus in APAC has affected the supply of these raw materials. For instance, China is one of the major suppliers of resins and exports a million tons of resins in the global market. The break in the supplies of raw materials has reduced the production of paints and coatings products.
In April 2020, all private buildings and construction sites, government constructions, and refinish automotive businesses were hit drastically. Retailers are also canceling already placed bulk orders of paint and coatings products due to the shutdown of the market. End-use consumers are not buying expensive coating technologies such as polyurea and polyurethanes from distributors and retailers due to COVID-19. Overall, the sales of paints and coatings products are hampered at the distributors’ level due to the suspension of construction and building activities.
Foam Market Dynamics
Driver: Growing use of foam in major end-use industries
Major industries requiring foam include building & construction, packaging, automotive, and furniture & bedding,
Foam is used in the building & construction industry for forging, pipe-in-pipe, doors, roof board, and slabs. PU foam is widely used for interior insulation of walls or roofs in residential and commercial properties. Extruded polystyrene material is also used in crafts and architectural model building. EPS is an excellent material for building and construction, as it is light yet rigid with good thermal insulation and high impact resistance.
Packaging is necessary for the safety and insulation of all kinds of materials, especially in the food industry and the online shopping (shippable materials) business. With the growing awareness about the safety, quality, and maintenance of a product’s physical properties, the use of foam in packaging is increasing.
Restraint: Volatility in raw material prices
The price and availability of raw materials determine the cost structure of products. The key raw materials used to make foam are benzene, toluene, polyol, and phosgene. These are petroleum-based derivatives and are vulnerable to price fluctuations. Oil prices were highly volatile in 2018-2019 due to the rising global demand, and conflict, and foreign military intervention in the Middle East.
Over the last few years, the price fluctuation in petrochemical-based raw materials has affected the foam market. The consistent global demand, coupled with capacity constraints of primary chemicals and resins, has also tightened the supply and increased the raw material prices.
Opportunity: Growing demand for bio-based polyols
In view of the growing concerns over the dependence on fossil fuels and the impact of plastics on the environment, foam manufacturers are continuously striving for sustainability in business practices. The volatility in oil prices in recent years had a significant impact on the profitability of the foam industry. This led to the development of bio-based polyols that can be used to manufacture foam. Bio-derived materials such as soy-based polyols are far superior to conventional polyols, in terms of sustainability and cost. They are also more thermally stable and less sensitive to hydrolysis. The key producers of soy-based polyols include Urethane Soy Systems, Bio-Based Technologies, Dow Chemical Company, Cargill, Inc., and MCPU Polymer Engineering.
Challenge: High pricing pressure
The global polyols market has witnessed tremendous pricing pressure for the past few years due to fluctuations in crude oil prices. The rising cost of major raw materials such as propylene and propylene oxide, which are the derivatives of petroleum products, is primarily responsible for the rise in the manufacturing cost of polyols. Capital and raw material costs thus account for a major portion of foam production costs, leading to higher pricing pressure on manufacturers.
Foam Market Ecosystem
Polyurethane segment accounted for the largest share of the foam market in 2020.
Polyurethane segment accounts for the largest share in the foam market. It is mainly divided into flexible PU foam, rigid PU foam, and spray PU foam. Flexible PU foam is used in various applications such as cushioning, apparel padding, and filtration, whereas rigid PU foam is primarily used for board and laminate insulation and foam roofing in commercial and residential construction.
Building & Construction is projected to witness the fastest growth in APAC during the forecast period.
The building & construction industry in APAC is expected to witness the highest growth rate during the next five years, driven by huge investments in new infrastructure development, new housing projects, and renovation of non-residential buildings in major countries like China and India.
The high demand for online shopping is increasing the demand for packaging; this is expected to drive the protective packaging market during the forecast period. The use of foam in medical device packaging, orthopedic soft goods, and medical components is also projected to drive the market in the medical industry between 2021 and 2026.
APAC is the largest foam market in the forecast period
The foam market in APAC is segmented into China, India, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, and the Rest of APAC. The region is the fastest-growing in the foam market, driven by high economic growth and heavy investments in the automotive, marine, building & construction, and manufacturing industries. The growth of the APAC market is propelled by the increasing use of foam in the building & construction, automotive, footwear, sports & recreational, furniture & bedding, and packaging industries. The demand for high-quality products, rising population, and the growing end-use industries have led to innovation and development in the market. The continuous growth in the manufacturing of products for domestic use, as well as exports, drives the demand for foam in the region.
According to the latest S&P ratings, the COVID-19 outbreak has hampered APAC economies by more than USD 200 billion. The growth level in the region is the lowest it has been in the last decade. China might nose down to the growth of 3% with a recession looming in Japan, Hong Kong, and Australia.
