The global blowing agent market is expected to reach USD 2.77 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 7.04% from 2022 to 2030. The increasing application of polymeric foams worldwide in enterprises like automotive, construction, footwear, packaging, and electronics drives the expansion of the blowing agent market.
The blowing agent is a substance capable of producing a cellular structure through a foaming method in various materials that experience hardening or phase transition, like metals, polymers, and plastics. Blowing agents play a crucial role by inducing a specific cellular structure to the foamed material. This aid reduces the density of the foam, improves its acoustic & thermal insulation capabilities, and enhances the relative toughness of the original material. The significance of blowing agents is steadily increasing for firms as the demand for low-cost foam products increases. Phenolic foam, polyurethane foam, polyolefin foam, and polystyrene foam are vital kinds of foam that utilize blowing agents. There are two main blowing agents: gases at the temperature at which the foam is formed & gases induced by chemical reactions. Chlorofluorocarbons, pentane, and carbon dioxide are illustrations of the former. Blowing agents that deliver gas via chemical reactions contain isocyanates, azodicarbonamide, baking powder, and titanium hydride. Blowing agents can lend the desired attributes to a myriad of materials. These characteristics could range from heat insulation, light-weighting, sound absorbency to electrical insulation, permeability, elasticity, and shock absorbency.

The increasing usage of foam blowing agents is one of the driving factors of the market growth. Further, the growing industry for blowing agents in the construction enterprise is also helping to propel the market's growth. Additionally, the ever-increasing demand for high-quality blowing agents to manufacture polymeric foams helps drive market growth.
The increasing living standard of people worldwide is the driving factor of the market growth. Further, the increase in purchasing power parity has aided in the development the furnishing & flooring enterprise. However, raised adoption of blowing agents is projected to boost the global market growth.
The increasing stringent government regulations and the higher costs are the restraining factors of the market growth. Additionally, the frequent change in the choice of blowing agents concerning environmental rules like the Montreal Protocol and other regional & national regulations is hindering the market growth. Moreover, the primary focus & intention after executing these regulations & protocols is to minimize the damage generated to the ozone layer by utilizing different kinds of blowing agents such as HFCs & HCFCs. This factor is hampering market growth.
The rapidly raised demand for environment-friendly blowing agents in the past few years is anticipated to remain the same in the upcoming years. Also, the shifting preference against environment-friendly blowing agents due to intense climate modifications opens an opportunity for industry participants.. Additionally, environment security awareness & governmental regulations have mandated the usage of an eco-friendly blowing agent. This factor also helps to drive the market growth during the forecast period.
Due to the COVID-19 outbreaks, there has been a significant drop in the demand for blowing agents owing to the halt in the transportation& manufacturing sectors. Also, the decline of foam products from different enterprises has decreased the demand for blowing agents. Hence, to balance the demand & supply and avoid inventory pile-up, multiple blowing agent manufacturers are anticipated to operate their plants with a low ability consumption rate in the forthcoming period. Further, the fluctuations in the costs of raw materials are another challenging factor of the market growth.
The global blowing agent market has been segmented based on foam, type, application, and regions.
The regions analyzed for the market include North America, Europe, South America, Asia Pacific, the Middle East, and Africa. Asia Pacific region emerged as the largest market for the global blowing agent market with a 48.26% share of the market revenue in 2021.
