The Spray Polyurethane Foam Market is segmented by Cell Structure Type (Open Cell Structure and Closed Cell Structure), Application Type (Roofs, Walls, Floors, and Others), End-Use Type (Residential, Commercial, and Industrial), Region (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Rest of the World).

What is spray polyurethane foam?

SPF insulation applied by professionals is generally defined as either high- or low-pressure foam, and it is available in open- or closed-cell configurations. Depending on the application requirements, each type offers advantages and disadvantages.

A spray-applied cellular plastic named 'Spray Polyurethane Foam' (SPF) is made by a combination of chemicals to create foam. These chemicals react immediately, expanding on contact to form foam that insulates, closes the air, and acts as a moisture barrier. 
SPF, when installed correctly, forms a continuous barrier on walls, around corners, and on curved surfaces. It is the right choice for reducing undesired air infiltration through cracks, seams, and joints since it resists heat transfer efficiently.

When compared to standard insulating materials, spray foam insulation (SPF) is more efficient, making it a good choice for the building industry. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the combustion of fossil fuels for electricity generation accounts for 10%–12% of total greenhouse gas emissions. Spray polyurethane foam provides great thermal resistance, lower utility costs, and can reduce heat transfers significantly, making them an effective choice for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. It also acts as a barrier to air and bulk water, as well as a moisture vapor retardant.

Regional Analysis

North America is expected to remain the largest market and it holds a revenue share of more than 45% in 2021. The region has a high focus on building insulation with a strong reliance on spray polyurethane foam due to regional government incentives and laws that promote energy-efficient infrastructure. North America and Europe have a higher penetration of spray polyurethane foam compared to the Asian and African markets. However, there exists a strong growth potential in the emerging Asian and African economies in the coming years.
