Market Growth Factors


The Brazil aerospace foam market is driven by the increasing need to reduce the weight of aircraft to improve fuel efficiency and economic operation by aircraft manufacturers and operators. Energy prices are unstable and there are strict environmental regulations for carbon emission reduction. Numerous aerospace foams are used in aircraft seating, interior parts, insulation and structural components where their fine cellular structures and high strength to weight ratios help reduce aircraft weight.


Newer aircraft designs are increasingly using engineered polyurethane foams and polyimide foams in a pursuit for improved aircraft fuel economy. The weight savings lead to maintenance and lifespan improvements, as well as increased payload per aircraft. The Brazilian suppliers are developing new foam compositions to provide higher structural performance at lower density, in accordance with Embraer's more fuel-efficient aircraft and the global market demand for lightweight aerospace materials.


Brazil's aviation industry is rapidly expanding, leading to increasing demand for aerospace foam from OEMs in aircraft manufacturing, retrofits, and refurbishments. A rising middle class and more low cost airlines have accelerated demand for air travel, leading airlines to make investments in increasing air fleet, passenger comfort, and replacing older airplanes. Embraer's delivery numbers reflect strong market demand. Airlines consider passenger comfort and operational cost, with new foams in seat cushions and interior parts, floor coverings and overhead bins to absorb shocks, insulate and improve noise and vibration management. Brazil's aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhaul industry further supports foam consumption as airlines refurbish aging fleets to extend useful life and maintain customer experience, resulting in additional opportunities for foam manufacturers.


The rapid growth of the aerospace foam market in Brazil can be attributed to the huge investments made by the government for developing self-sufficiency in technology and growth of the aerospace and defense industries, which would require the use of locally manufactured aerospace foam parts in the planned defense technology. High performance foams are used for fire retardancy, vibration control, and radar absorbing in aircraft (fighter aircraft, transports, helicopters) and military vehicles.


Demand for Brazilian aerospace and defense products in national and international military markets stimulates domestic industry growth. Long-term defense contracts provide steady demand for foams, while R&D support for new foam chemistries. The aerospace center in São Paulo helps establish a network of actors and institutions for domestic materials development, strengthening the position of the Brazilian aerospace foam market.
