Leading Corporations Driving the Polyurethane Foam Market
Several prominent companies dominate the polyurethane foam sector, including BASF SE, Covestro AG, Huntsman Corporation, Dow Inc., Mitsui Chemicals, Inc., Recticel SA, Woodbridge Group, FXI Holdings, Inc., Sheela Foam Limited, Vita Group (The Vita Group), Carpenter Company, INOAC Corporation, Sekisui Chemical Co., Ltd., Armacell International S.A., UBE Corporation, Wanhua Chemical Group Co., Ltd., Saint-Gobain S.A., FoamPartner Group, Rogers Foam Corporation, and Trelleborg AB.
In a notable development in December 2023, Carpenter Co., a US-based polyurethane foam manufacturer, acquired the Engineered Foams division of Recticel SA/NV for approximately €450 million ($0.5 billion). This strategic acquisition strengthens Carpenter's portfolio in specialty foams, enhances its manufacturing capabilities, and supports long-term growth across North America and Europe. The acquired business is recognized for high-performance polyurethane foam solutions tailored to insulation, automotive, and industrial applications.

Emerging Technological Advances Creating New Opportunities in Polyurethane Foam
Companies in the polyurethane foam market are focusing heavily on technological innovation to meet evolving demands. One key area is the development of lightweight yet durable polyurethane foams designed specifically for electric vehicle (EV) battery applications. These advanced materials provide critical support and protection for battery cells, combining thermal management with mechanical stability.
For example, in April 2024, Huntsman Corporation introduced a new line of SHOKLESS polyurethane foam technologies aimed at potting and fixing cells in EV batteries. These products offer enhanced thermal and structural protection while allowing flexible manufacturing options. Such innovations respond directly to the automotive industry's need for high-performance materials that boost EV safety, efficiency, and durability.
