サマリー

金額ベースでは、軟質フォームの市場規模は2023年に427億米ドルと推定され、2028年には年平均成長率5.9％で568億米ドルに達すると予測されている。軟質フォームは、クッション目的で使用される様々なタイプのフォームから構成されている。TDI、ポリオール、添加剤、発泡剤を組み合わせて製造されるポリマーフォームの一種である。軟質フォームは、自動車用途（アームレスト、ヘッドレスト、バンパー、サイドインパクトパッド、エネルギー吸収バンパーインサート、サイドシートインサート、アンダーフロアインサート、パネル補強材など）に適した快適性とサポート性を提供するために使用される。軟質フォームの軽量特性は自動車全体の軽量化に役立ち、燃費を向上させる。そのため、自動車メーカーは自動車における軟質フォームの使用量を増やすことに注力している。非危険物、環境に優しい、持続可能な発泡体に対する需要の増加は、バイオベースの原材料を使用して製造された環境に優しい発泡体の需要を牽引している。

"ポリエチレン（PE）は、予測期間中、フレキシブルフォーム市場で金額ベースで2番目に大きなタイプになると予想される。"
軟質ポリエチレンフォームの特性は、耐久性、軽量、弾力性、非研磨性、柔軟性、無臭、費用対効果、独立気泡構造である。独立気泡構造であるためクッション性があり、包装や自動車用途に有用である。PEフォームの主な用途は包装である。医療、エレクトロニクス、軍事、自動車産業における壊れやすい商品の包装に使用されている。振動減衰性や断熱性に優れ、化学薬品や湿気に対する耐性が高いため、好まれている。また、難燃グレードもあり、繊細な機械の包装にも使用されている。

"2022年のフレキシブルフォーム市場は、金額ベースで輸送が第2位のシェアを占めている。"
輸送はフレキシブルフォーム市場で2番目に大きな用途である。これには自動車、航空宇宙、鉄道の用途が含まれる。自動車産業は、金額でも数量でも最も急成長している産業の一つである。中国、インド、ブラジルなどの新興国では経済が成長し、商用車や高級車への支出が増加しているため、予測期間中に輸送用途での軟質フォームの需要が増加すると予想される。軟質フォームの使用により、輸送産業の重量、安全性、耐久性、快適性が大幅に改善されている。軟質フォームは自動車用途で重要な役割を果たしている。
"南米はフレキシブルフォーム市場の予測期間中、金額ベースで2番目に急成長する地域と予測されている。"
南米が経済的・社会的問題の解決に向けて前進するにつれ、この地域で成長と利益を求める企業は、広大で成長著しい下層階級と中低層から中間の消費者に再び焦点を当てると予想される。ホンダ（日本）やゼネラル・モーターズ（米国）といった先進国の大手企業は、多くの労働力を確保できる南米に投資している。為替レートの低さ、ビジネス環境と安全衛生法の寛大さも、この地域の主要市場プレーヤーにチャンスをもたらしている。

Summary

In terms of value, The market size of flexible foam is estimated at USD 42.7 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach USD 56.8 billion by 2028, at a CAGR of 5.9%. Flexible foams consist of different types of foam used for cushioning purposes. They are a type of polymeric foam produced using a combination of TDI, polyols, additives, and blowing agents. Flexible foam is used to render comfort, and support which makes it suitable for automotive applications (armrests, headrests, bumpers, side impact pads, energy-absorbing bumper inserts, side seat inserts, under floor inserts, panel stiffeners, and others). The lightweight property of flexible foam helps reduce the overall weight of a vehicle, which provides better fuel efficiency. Hence, automotive manufacturers are focusing on increasing the usage of flexible foam in vehicles. Increasing demand for non-hazardous, green, and sustainable foam drives the demand for eco-friendly foams manufactured using bio-based raw materials.

“Polyethylene (PE) is expected to be the second largest type of the flexible foam market, in terms of value, during the forecast period.”
Properties of flexible polyethylene foam are durable, lightweight, resilient, non abrasive, flexible, odorless, and cost effective, and a closed-cell structure. The closed cell structure of this foam provides cushioning properties which makes it helpful in packaging and automotive applications. PE foam is largely used for packaging. It is used for the packaging of fragile goods in the medical, electronics, military, and automotive industries. It is preferred due to its excellent vibration dampening and insulation properties, and high resistance to chemicals and moisture. This foam is also available in fire retardant grades which is used in the packaging of sensitive types of machinery.

“Transportation accounted for the second largest share of the flexible foam market, in terms of value, in 2022.”
Transportation is the second largest application of the flexible foam market. It includes automobile, aerospace, and railway applications. The automotive industry is one of the fastest-growing industries, in terms of value and volume. The growing economy and increasing expenditure on commercial and luxury vehicles in emerging economies such as China, India, and Brazil are expected to increase the demand for flexible foam in transportation applications during the forecast period. The use of flexible foam has resulted in significant improvements in weight, safety, durability, and comfort of the transportation industry. Flexible foam plays an important role in the automotive application.
“South America is projected to be the second fastest growing region, in terms of value, during the forecast period in the Flexible foam market.”
As South America makes progress in solving its economic and social problems, companies seeking growth and profit in the region are expected to refocus on the vast and growing lower-class and lower-to-middle-class consumers. Major companies such as Honda (Japan) and General Motors (US) from developed countries are investing in South America where a large workforce is available. Low exchange rates and lenient business environment and health & safety laws are also presenting opportunities for major market players in the region.
