The automotive industry is another lucrative end-use sector of the flexible foam market. Given that the product offers stress and tensile handling properties, and increased resistance to solvents and light, it is used extensively in the transportation industry for making seats, armrests, headrests, HVAC components, interior panels and skins, truck beds, headliners, and other interior systems. Polyurethane foam is also used to offer automobile designers and manufacturers the means to make products that can easily be assembled, disassembled, and recycled. The product also meets the highest performance specifications over a wide range of automotive applications without increasing vehicle weight. Despite heavy, prolonged use over the years, polyurethane foam can retain its original shape, firmness, and resiliency. Recent developments in polyurethane technology for automotive design will contribute towards improving passenger comfort, energy and sound absorption, moisture and heat resistance and compressive strength in vehicles. In consequence, flexible foam market is likely to procure a major chunk of its profits from the automotive sector.

Elaborating on the extensive deployment of polyurethane for introducing light weightiness in vehicles, it would be prudent to mention that high-density polyurethane foam components can be effectively coated to seem like the original product, and can be manufactured with a closed-cell structure that boasts of being water-tight. Ergo, the component is not susceptible to rotting, delaminating from water intrusion, or warping. PU foam is also equipped with exceptional self-skinning properties, making the product ready for painting or coating. This has consequently increased the deployment of PU foams in myriad automotive and aerospace applications, thereby driving the PU flexible foam market share.
