Middle East & Africa Blowing Agents Market Insights Forecasts to 2035

• The Middle East and Africa Blowing Agents Market Size Expected to Grow at a CAGR of Around 3.8% from 2025 to 2035
• The Middle East and Africa Blowing Agents Market Size is Expected to Reach a Significant Share by 2035

According to a research report published by Spherical Insights & Consulting, the Middle East and Africa Blowing Agents Market size is growing at a CAGR of 3.8% from 2025 to 2035. The market is driven by the increasing demand for lightweight materials across multiple industries, such as construction, automotive, and packaging, which appears to be a primary catalyst.

Market Overview

The blowing agents market encompasses the production, distribution, and application of substances used to create tiny gas bubbles within materials which include foams for lightweight and insulating properties. Blowing agents serve as a building insulation component, including block pipe and roof insulation, doors, sheathing and foundation structures. The primary application of these materials occurs in polyurethane foams, which architects use to prevent heat loss and maintain temperatures through extreme cold conditions, which lead to freezing or cracking in long-distance heating systems.

In September 2025, Dow, Gruppo/or partnering with Gruppo Fioriopens in a new tab, announced the latest advancement related to jointly developed novel methods that will catalyze the recovery of-polyurethane waste from end-of-life vehicles without disassembly.

The building codes that regional governments are now implementing mandate energy-efficient insulation requirements, which create a new demand for high-performance blowing agents used in polyurethane and polystyrene foam. Honeywell introduced its Solstice Liquid Blowing Agent (LBA) in the Middle East to expand its presence and provide more energy-efficient refrigerator insulation.
