Elastomeric Foam Market Analysis

Application (Automotive, HVAC, Plumbing, Electronics) 

The global elastomeric foam market is segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by application in automotive, HVAC, plumbing, and electronics. Out of these segments, the HVAC segment is projected to grow the fastest by the end of 2037 and provide the most opportunities. For instance, it is anticipated that by 2050, over 65% of all homes will have an air conditioning system. The HVAC system is used to insulate or maintain the internal conditions of vehicles or buildings. The HVAC controls the heat, vapor, humidity, ventilation, sterilization, condensation, temperature, and airflow of the surrounding area. The rising number of hospitals, automotive, residential, and commercial buildings with the need for a safe and hygienic environment is increasing. The indoor air quality is also maintained by the HVAC systems.

Type (Nitrile Butadiene Rubber, Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer, Chloroprene, Epichlorohydrin, Styrene-Butadiene Rubber)

The global elastomeric foam market is also segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by type into nitrile butadiene rubber, ethylene propylene diene monomer, chloroprene, epichlorohydrin, and styrene-butadiene rubber. Amongst these three segments, the nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) or polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) segment is expected to garner a significant share.  The increasing use of NBR in place of other types of rubber owing to its resistance towards, acid swelling, fuel, fire, and lower cost. NBR insulation is very flexible insulation and is used in various sectors including the insulation industry, air conditioning, HVAC industry, and plumbing sector. The NBR is a closed-cell elastomeric insulation, which is an oil-resistant synthetic rubber that can be used to insulate any curved shape material owing to its flexible nature. Usually, nitrile rubber is used in the automotive and aerospace sectors in the making of gas, petrol, and oil or any fuel hoses, seals, gaskets, and rollers. As per the estimations, in 2021 USD 1,300,400 worth of NBR is imported in the form of plates, sheets, or strips up from USD 90,000 in 2020.
