Flexible Elastomeric Foam Market by Function, Type (Natural Rubber, NBR/PVC, EPDM, Chloroprene), End-Use Industry (HVAC, Automotive & Transportation, Solar Installations, Refrigeration Systems), and Region - Global Forecast to 2029

Flexible Elastomeric Foam Market by Function, Type (Natural Rubber, NBR/PVC, EPDM, Chloroprene), End-Use Industry (HVAC, Automotive & Transportation, Solar Installations, Refrigeration Systems), and Region - Global Forecast to 2029

The global flexible elastomeric foam market is projected to grow from USD 2.8 billion in 2024 to USD 3.6 billion by 2029, at a CAGR of 4.8% during the forecast period. Flexible elastomeric foam is a closed cell elastomeric foam that is used for insulating plumbing, ductwork, chilled water, air conditioning, and refrigeration systems. These foams provide cushioning, and insulation in wide variety of industries including automotive & transportation, HVAC, refrigeration systems, and solar installations.

“Acoustic Insulation segment, by function, is estimated to account for the second largest share during the forecast period”

The acoustic insulation segment is projected to secure the second-largest share in the forecast period, primarily fueled by the rising demand for soundproofing solutions across multiple sectors including industrial, residential and commercial environments. Flexible elastomeric foams offer qualities like sound absorption and vibration dampening due to which the acoustic insulation segment, by function, is expected to grow along with the growth in population and urbanization.

“By foam type, Ethylene-Propylene Dine Monomer (EPDM) segment is accounted for the second largest share during the forecast period”

The Ethylene-Propylene Dine Monomer (EPDM) segment, by type, is projected to secure the second-largest share in the forecast period. The EPDM segment’s growth is fueled by the rise in the demand for energy efficient insulating material. The EPDM type of flexible elastomeric foams not only offer great temperature resistance, but they also offer great chemical resistance due to which their demand is increasing in multiple industries including construction industry, marine industry, as well as transportation and automotive industry.

“Automotive & Transportation segment, by end-use industry, is estimated to account for the second largest share during the forecast period”

The automotive & transportation segment, by end-use industry, is projected to secure the second-largest share in the forecast period. Flexible elastomeric foams are used in the automotive and transportation industry for multiple applications including gasketing, noise dampening, weather stripping, and cushioning. The growing production of automobiles, especially in developing nations is expected to boost the market for flexible elastomeric foam in the automotive and transportation industry.

“North America region is estimated to account for the second largest share during the forecast period”

North America is expected to be the second-largest market for flexible elastomeric foam. The US is among the key players in the region, which is driven by the rise in awareness levels regarding the importance of thermal and acoustic insulation. Furthermore, the market position of North America is further strengthened by the existence of major players in the region, such as ARMACELL and Aeroflex USA, Inc.
