Foam Blowing Agent Market- Opportunity to develop eco-friendly blowing agents with low GWP and ODP
The global warming and ozone layer depletion are the major environmental challenges across the globe. Various legislations across the globe are imposing stringent environmental regulations to lower the greenhouse gases emissions. Blowing agents such as CFCs had high GWP and ODP and is banned in many countries.

The HC blowing agents such as, isopentane, n-butane, and other eco-friendly blowing agents, including HFOs, methyl formate and CO2, has zero ODP and very low GWP. Consumption and production of eco-friendly foam blowing agent is expected to grow at higher rate in comparison to other agents. The development of the eco-friendly blowing agents is creating abundant opportunities for the manufacturers of blowing agents, who earlier had to suffer due to stringent environmental regulations. There also lies an opportunity for new players to establish their presence in the global foam blowing agents market, by developing very low GWP and zero ODP blowing agents.

Foam Blowing Agent Market- Regional Insight
Asia-Pacific is one of the leading regions in the global foam blowing agents market and is expected to garner majority of the market share by 2023. Countries in this region such as China, India, Japan, and South Korea are witnessing significant application of blowing agents across various end-use industries. Demand from industries such as construction, and automotive manufacturing are driving the growth of the foam blowing agents market in the region. The increasing demand of foam blowing agent by automotive and construction industries have created lot of opportunities mainly in developing regions where infrastructural development is on rise.

The foam blowing agents market in the North America is expected to grow at a steady rate owing to presence of large base of end-user industries for polymer foams and moderate demand of blowing agents in the manufacturing of polyurethane foam. However, stringent norms are the major restraint for the market growth. The abundance of raw materials, such as petrochemicals and fluorochemicals in the Middle East and Africa region is driving the foam blowing agents market.
