Blowing Agents Market
HCFC, HFC and others. Based on the type of foam, the global blowing agents market is
segregated into polyurethane foams, phenolic foams, polystyrene foams and polyolefin foams.
On the basis of the chemistry, the global market is divided into chemical blowing agents and
physical blowing agents. Based on the foaming agent process, the global blowing agents market
is classified into endo/exothermic blend chemical foaming agents, exothermic chemical foaming
agents and endothermic chemical foaming agents. Regionally, the global market is diversified
into Asia Pacific, Western Europe, South America, Central and Eastern Europe, North America
and the Middle East and Africa.

Global Blowing Agents Market: Growth Factors
The major reason for the global blowing agents market growth is the increasing demand for the
polymeric foams, especially for the polyurethane foams. It is due to the rapid up gradation in
the end-user companies such as infrastructure and appliances. These agents are mainly used in
the polymer industry as adhesives to inherit specific foam properties such as acoustics and
shock absorbency, permeability and elasticity, weight reduction and heat and electric insulation.
The polyurethane foam market holds the major share in the global blowing agents market owing
to the increase in applications such as automobiles, chemicals, and infrastructure. Butanes and
pentanes, types of hydrocarbon, have mainly dominated the global market. The factor that is
hampering the global market growth is the strict regulations in terms of the harmful chemicals
used in the blowing agents. However, there have been researching and developments in the
production of the environment-friendly bio-based products.
