Memory Foam Market

Memory Foam Market: Overview

• Memory foam is also called viscoelastic polyurethane foam or low-resilience polyurethane foam (LRPU). Polyurethane is the primary constituent of memory foam. Additional chemicals with polyurethane are added to memory foam to enhance its viscosity and density.
• Open foam bubbles present in memory foam facilitate the property of elasticity by creating an open matrix for the air to move through the memory foam. Higher-density memory foam softens in response to body heat, molding to a warm body in a few minutes, thereby evenly distributing body weight.
• Memory foam is characterized by its ability to recover to its original shape and size after the removal of pressure. Hence, the nomenclature is derived from this property. Memory foam mattress helps people relieve pain, thus helping them to wake up in comfort.
• Based on application, the global memory foam market can be segmented into transportation, bedding, carpet cushion, furniture, medical, and others (including marine and sports).

Key Drivers and Restraints of Global Memory Foam Market

• Products made up of memory foam such as memory foam mattress offer a better level of comfort. For instance, memory foam mattress can mold to any shape and size. This is expected to boost the demand for memory foam during the forecast period.
• Memory foam is used in aircraft, transportation, and furniture Industries, since it facilitates the required comfort and support to seats. Thus, demand for memory foam is high in the industries mentioned above. This is anticipated to propel the demand for memory foam during the forecast period.
• Memory foam mattresses are considered luxury and lavish products that are consumed primarily by the high earning population of the society. Thus, high cost of memory foam mattress vis-à-vis spring foam mattress is estimated to restrain the global memory foam market during the forecast period.             

Memory Foam Market: Type Segment

• Base on type, the global memory foam market can be segmented into traditional memory foam, air cool memory foam, and gel memory foam
• Traditional memory foam is designed in such a way that body is held gently and protectively by mattress while sleeping. Thus, it provides better blood circulation and reduces the amount of stress.
• High heat carrying capacity is one of the drawbacks of memory foam. Air cooled memory foam is designed with the technology that quickly responds to body temperature.
• Gel memory foam is equipped with a technology that helps stop motion transfer when more than one individual is sharing the bed. It is also infused with a gel that is used in sports equipment or shoe inserts in order to provide strong bonding properties.

Memory Foam Market: Application Segment

• Based on application, the global memory foam market can be segmented into transportation, bedding, carpet cushion, furniture, medical, and others (including marine and sports)
• Memory foam mattresses are comforting, relaxing, and stress relieving. Thus, demand for these mattresses is increasing in bedding, cushions, carpet, and furniture applications. These segments are projected to account for major share of the global memory foam market in the near future.
• Memory foam is also employed widely in the medical sector. Demand for smart memory foam is rising in the manufacture of foam mattresses for dental chairs. Thus, growth in usage of memory foam in the medical segment is projected to boost the memory foam market during the forecast period.

Asia Pacific to be Key Region of Global Memory Foam Market

• In terms of region, the global memory foam market can be divided into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa
• Asia Pacific and Europe are highly active regions of the global memory foam market, owing to the rise in disposable income of consumers in emerging economies; steady technological innovation; and rapid adoption rate of memory foam due to urbanization
• The memory foam market in North America, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa is estimated to expand at a moderate pace during the forecast period, due to the increase in number of domestic players in vertical market segments
