The production of insulation foam blowing agents is closely tied to the construction and refrigeration sectors, particularly with demand for energy-efficient building materials and sustainable refrigerant systems. In 2025, production of blowing agents is witnessing a steady shift from traditional hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) to more environmentally friendly options like hydrofluoroolefins (HFOs) and hydrocarbon-based agents such as n-pentane and isopentane. In 2025, prices for blowing agents are moderately volatile. HFOs command a premium due to their advanced formulation and limited supply chain, while hydrocarbon-based agents experience price pressure linked to crude oil fluctuations. As construction activity stabilizes post-COVID recovery, insulation foam demand is strong in Asia-Pacific and North America.
