#Automotive Foam Market Growth Factors: What’s Supporting Expansion?#_x000D_
The increase in demand for electric vehicles is expected to propel the growth of the automotive foam market going forward. While the economic effect of COVID-19 has dampened demand for petrol and diesel cars, demand for electric and hybrid vehicles has increased. Climate warming and aspirations to achieve net-zero emissions are driving the global shift to emissions-free motoring. These EV vehicle shifts help the economy by reducing fuel costs and changing consumption from petroleum products to more locally produced power vehicles. These factors increased the demand for automobile foam, offering passengers maximum comfort, safety, and security during the drive. In March 2024, according to the International Energy Agency, a France-based intergovernmental organisation, around 14 million electric cars were registered globally in 2023, marking a 35% increase over the 10.5 million registered in 2022. Electric vehicles (EVs) made up 18% of total car sales in 2023, up from 14% in 2022. This growth demonstrates strong momentum in the EV market, with weekly registrations in 2023 exceeding 250,000. Battery electric vehicles accounted for 70% of the total electric car stock in 2023. Therefore, rising demand for electric and hybrid vehicles will drive the automative foam market. _x000D_

Global Automotive Foam Market Driver: The Rise Of Shockless Materials For Enhanced EV Battery Protection
_x000D_
_x000D_
The rising use of shockless materials has emerged as a key trend gaining popularity in the automotive foam market. Shockless materials are specialized substances designed to absorb and dissipate impact energy, minimizing damage and protecting sensitive components, such as those found in electric vehicle batteries, during collisions or thermal events. Major companies operating in the automotive foam market are focused on providing technologically advanced shockless foam materials to strengthen their market position. For instance, in April 2024, Huntsman, a US-based chemical company, launched the Shokless polyurethane foam systems. The new range is designed for potting and securing cells installed in electric vehicle (EV) batteries. It also features products that serve as moldable encapsulants for battery modules or packs. The Shokless foam systems provide a versatile solution to protect the structural integrity of EV batteries during impacts or thermal events. This product family consists of low to high-density foams that can be applied using standard polyurethane dispensing methods, offering a broad processing window for enhanced handling flexibility. _x000D_
