Use of automotive foam and its forecast for next couples of years

Automotive foam is made with mix of solid and gas phase. This foam can come in different types based on the raw material used. .All vehicles be it large commercial vehicles or light vehicles use the automotive foam in some form. The growing use of automotive foam in seating arragemtns is further expected to take the automotive form industry to north direction. The automotive foam is used in seating, door panel, instrument panels, headliners, seal, water shield, gasket and NVH and others. The growing demand is also due to increase in end user industry and technological advancements.

 Automotive foams, polyurethane, polyolefin and polystyrene, will show high demand in their applications. Polyurethane became the one of the largest used automotive foam in 2013.  The reason was very simple.  Polyurethane offers   excellent thermal & sound insulation, superior fire resistance, easy installation and increased light weight benefits. The preference of automotive industry towards automotive foam form will continue to expand. The United States, Canada, and other developed world can see the stagnation in the growth of automotive form industry. But the Asian pacific reason, which is becoming the driver of world economy, will continue to expand. This expansion will see excellent growth in automotive form industry. Since over the next two years the expansion of economies will take place only in developing and Asia region, the growth of automotive industry will take place only in Asian region. And this growth will be enough to offset any fall in demand in any other part of the world.

Since the growth Vertical Foam Cutting Machine Manufacturer in India  of automotive foam is directly linked with the growth of automobile industry, the prospects of growth in India are also bright.  The growth of passenger vehicles in India was the highest among major car markets. In the first 11 months of last year, the growth was 7. 64 %, the highest in the world. This growth will continue in the coming years also and with it the automotive foam industry will find ready market for expansion.  One fact, which is related with the automobile market in India, is that there is very low penetration of vehicles. The number of cars per thousand people is low at 18 compare to 800 in United States. This fact gives assurance that the number of car will continue to grow, as more and more people will buy car first time in life. The automotive industry thus will gain tremendously from this growth.

The only factor that Batch Foaming Machine Manufacturer in India could hamper the growth is the environmental concerns regarding polyurethane foam because of its biodegradable nature. The adverse effects on human health due to long term exposure to this form may also put breaks on the growth. The arrival of new innovative foam in place of polyurethane can also derail the growth prospects.
