Description

Polymer foams, also called as plastic foams, foamed plastics, comprises of a solid and gaseous phase. One of the extensively used polymer foams is polyurethane foams, due to its low density and thermal conductivity. Different types of polymer foams are polystyrene (PS), polyurethane (PU), phenolic, polyolefin (PO) and others. Such materials are highly utilized in disposable packaging of fast-food, the cushioning of furniture and joint filler in several construction projects. Industries such as automotive, aerospace, and transportation are increasingly focused on reducing the weight of their products to improve fuel efficiency and overall performance. Polymer foams, being lightweight yet structurally sound, are utilized to achieve these goals without compromising on strength and safety. Thus, the lightweight trend in various industries is driving the polymer foam market growth. On the contrary, the volatility in raw materials price may hamper the polymer foam market growth. The Polymer Foam Market is projected to grow at a rate of 4.2% CAGR by 2028.

Based on the type, the polyurethane foam type held a maximum share of the polymer foam market due to the range of features and advantages it provides over other forms of polymer foam. For example, polyurethane foam provides better noise reduction and shock absorption compared to polyethylene (PE), ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA), polyvinyl chloride and other types of polymer foam. Comparatively, it is lightweight and provides outstanding resistance to moisture, air and mold. Further, it is quite versatile, can be easily used to a range of designs and is more economical compared to other types of polymer foam.
As per end users, the building & construction industry led the polymer foam market, due to the rising construction activities across the globe. As per the Volvo CE, the construction sector saw a rise in construction activities across various regions. South America experienced a rise of 12%, Asia by 39%, Europe by 20% and China by 28%. Polymer foams are majorly used in the building & construction industry for the insulation of water pipes, installation of door and window frames and sealing of roofs and walls. Therefore, a rise in global construction activities is projected to surge the demand for polymer foam, due to their above-mentioned usage. This is likely to grow the Polymer Foam market size over the forecast period.
In the regional market, the Asia-Pacific anticipated to account for highest revenue share in the global market during the anticipated period. The growth is due to the usage of polymer foam is especially high in this region owing to its rising demand from the building & construction sector.
In addition, there's a growing emphasis on sustainability and environmental responsibility across industries worldwide which enhances global market growth. This trend has led to increased interest in bio-based and recyclable polymer foam materials. Manufacturers are exploring ways to reduce the environmental impact of foam production, use, and disposal. Further, the trend of evolving recycling and up-cycling for polymer foam is also fueling the market.
