Global Chemical Foaming Agent Market Growth 2026-2032
Description
Chemical Foaming Agents are substances that release gases such as carbon dioxide and nitrogen during thermal decomposition or chemical reactions. These gases form a microporous structure within the polymer material, causing the material to expand and become lighter. They are widely used in the manufacturing of plastics, rubber, and building materials, and are mainly divided into two categories: inorganic (such as sodium bicarbonate) and organic (such as azodicarbonamide).
The upstream of the chemical foaming agent industry chain is highly dependent on the basic chemical industry, with main raw materials including biurea, liquid ammonia, caustic soda, and various petrochemical derivatives (such as polyether and organosilicon).Global sales are projected to reach approximately 592,000 tons in 2025, with an average market price of approximately $3,194 per ton. The industry's gross profit margin is in the range of 10%–25%.
From the demand side, building insulation materials, plastic modification, and rubber products remain the core markets. XPS/EPS, PVC, PE, and rubber sealing and cushioning materials maintain strong demand, but overall growth has shifted from scale expansion to structural optimization, with a continuous increase in the proportion of high-end and specialized blowing agents. On the supply side, traditional azo and sulfonyl hydrazide products have mature processes and significant cost advantages, but their shortcomings in terms of odor, safety, and decomposition residue are becoming increasingly apparent, forcing companies to increase R&D investment in low-odor, low-residue, and controllable decomposition temperature range products.
