The global blowing agent market size is estimated at USD 1.1 billion in 2020 and is projected to reach USD 1.6 billion by 2025, at a CAGR of 9.5%, between 2020 and 2025. Blowing agents are defined as a chemical substance capable of producing pores or cells in polymeric compositions. They are used widely in generating the gas to expand rubber, plastics, and ceramics to create foams. They are highly utilized materials for manufacturing different types of polymeric foams to achieve specific properties and enhancing the nature of polymer parts.
HC is expected to be the most significant type of blowing agent used globally in terms of volume. HC blowing agent is widely used in varied foam applications owing to its low ODP and GWP properties. The growth of the HC blowing agent is supported by the increasing usage of oxygenated hydrocarbons, such as methyl formate, in integral skin and polystyrene foams applications. The growing demand for vacuum panels in combination with hydrocarbon blown foams to increase energy efficiency in the appliances industry, which increases the consumption of HC blowing agents.

Polyolefin foam is projected to be the fastest-growing market for blowing agents during the forecast period. Polyolefin foams are considered as a high-performance packaging material, mainly when used for the packaging of delicate, high-value equipment, owing to their added resilience. Thus, the growth of the global packaging industry is expected to drive the demand for such foams, which, in turn, will drive the blowing agents market. Further, the high usage of HFC blowing agents for manufacturing polyolefin foams is supporting the growth of this market.
