Global PMI Foams Market Report 2023: Demand for PMI Foam in Various End-use Industries and Growing Focus on Lightweight Materials Drives Growth - ResearchAndMarkets.com

The "Global PMI Foams Market" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

In 2021, the European market made up 39.6% of the total PMI foam market. North America accounted for 29.4%, followed by the Asia-Pacific region with 26.3%.

The high cost of materials and processing is one of the biggest challenges facing the global PMI foam market. It is one of the major reasons why many other industries have not adopted the material.

PMI foam is primarily used in performance-driven applications in which cost is not a hindrance and only the performance is significant. These include aerospace and defense, as well as Formula 1 racing cars. The current emerging industry is medical.

In 2020, the aerospace and defense industry was severely hampered, as manufacturing facilities were shut down and production came to a standstill due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

This resulted in a negative impact on growth rates in several countries. The PMI foam market was affected, but the decline in 2020 was small compared to 2019. Applications are growing for use in the medical industry for X-ray tables, CT scan tables and in places where structural bending stiffness is required.

Polymethacrylimide foam provides superior performance in various aspects, such as design, mechanical, process, dielectric and green performance. The PMI foam core has better impact energy and loadbearing capacity than PVC and Nomex honeycomb. Better load-bearing capacity enables the high damage tolerance of PMI foam core compared to others.

PMI foam is widely used in the aerospace industry to produce aircraft fuselage, wings, tail and floor components; helicopter blades, floors, fairings, doors, drip troughs, side vertical tails and engine hoods; and rocket fairings and low-temperature storage tanks Evonik's PMI foam core is used in the aerospace and defense industry.

Major aircraft manufacturers (e.g., Airbus) use PMI foam in its fuselage, wings and floors in various models, such as A320, A340 and A380, as well as other brand models, including C-17, ATR 72 and C919. In helicopters, various applications, such as paddles, floors, fairings, hatches, water drips, side vertical tails and engine hoods. PMI foam core models include EC135, NH90 and LE100.
