$700 Million Spray Polyurethane Foam Market Focus of Latest Study from Principia Partners

EXTON, Pa.-(Business Wire)-September 9, 2009 - Principia Partners is ready to publish our new study on the $680 million North American Spray Polyurethane Foam (SPF) Insulation and Roofing business. The study will be released in September 2009 just in time for the upcoming annual planning cycle for most companies. SPF is one of the fastest growing products in building and construction and has taken market share from conventional insulation types such as fiberglass and cellulose. The main driver for this has been an increasing awareness of SPF benefits among contractors, architects, and builders, and applicators.

Total demand for SPF in insulation and roofing is estimated at 360 million lb, valued at $680 million in 2008
Demand for SPF is split evenly between residential and commercial uses, although R&R accounted for around two-thirds of demand compared to new construction in 2008
Overall demand for SPF in 2009 is projected to be lower as compared to 2008 but is expected to rebound to 2008 levels in 2010
SPF is viewed to be at the top of the pyramid of 'green' building products for three main reasons
- Efficiency: 'Actual' energy efficiency of SPF is often better as compared to competitive insulation products
- Functionality: Moisture barrier as well as thermal barrier
- Content: Many commercial products today contain renewable biobased polyols
