Covid-19 scenario: The outbreak of Covid-19 has greatly affected the global flexible foam market.

• Lockdown in various countries and shortage of labor have temporarily suspended the manufacturing of advanced materials.
• Dearth of raw materials and disrupted supply chain have affected the manufacturing of flexible foams.

The polyurethane (PU) foam segment dominated the market-

By type, the polyurethane (PU) foam segment held the lion's share in 2019, contributing to around three-fifths of the global flexible foam market, owing to its key features such as lightweight enhanced cushioning and sealing, improved thermal insulation and its environmental benefits such as recyclability, reduction in wastage, and higher sustainability. However, the polypropylene (PP) foam segment is expected to register the highest CAGR of 5.6% during the forecast period, due to increased demand from prime end-use industries for durable and recyclable foams coupled with surge in demand for bio-based polypropylene.
