Market Overview:
The global EPS geofoams market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% from 2018 to 2030. The growth in the market can be attributed to the increasing demand for EPS geofoams in road construction and road widening applications. Additionally, the growing infrastructure development in emerging economies is also propelling the growth of the global EPS geofoams market.
Product Definition:
Expanded polystyrene (EPS) is a rigid, lightweight and moisture-resistant insulation made from small beads of polystyrene. EPS Geofoams are an engineered structural foam used in many civil engineering applications such as slope stabilization, ground improvement, foundation support and retaining walls. EPS Geofoams have excellent compressive strength and durability which makes them ideal for use in aggressive environments.
Softness:
Geofoams are granular materials, which are made from a variety of natural and synthetic geotextiles. Geofoams have high permeability and can be used to provide protection against soil erosion, prevent the migration of chemicals in concrete structures or fillers into the surrounding environment.
Hardness:
Hardness is a relative measure of the resistance of soil or concrete to erosion by water. The harder the material is, the more resistant it is to being moved or eroded by water. The measurement units for hardness are generally stones (shore), which can be used as a standard for comparing different types of soils; and specific points on soil grains where they are least permeable, called grain boundaries.
Application Insights:
The road construction segment dominated the global EPS geofoams market, accounting for a revenue share of over 40% in 2017. The product is widely used in road construction owing to its excellent load-bearing capacity and high resistance to cracking and deterioration caused by traffic friction. It can also be used as an alternative to asphaltic concrete when it comes to laying roads on hard surfaces such as rock or soil.
EPS geofoams are increasingly being utilized in bridge abutment segments owing to their lightweight property, which helps reduce the stress on foundations thereby reducing the risk of cracks or failures due largelyto foundation settlement caused due to differential settling rates between soil & structure & between materials built upon them.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific dominated the global market in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The presence of emerging economies such as China, India, and Japan has resulted in an increased demand for construction materials including geofoams. Rapid urbanization coupled with increasing infrastructural activities is also projected to drive the regional market growth over the forecast period.
The European region accounted for a significant share of revenue in 2017 owing to various infrastructure projects undertaken by governments across countries such as Germany, Italy, Spain among others. In addition, growing road network expansion activities are estimated to fuel product demand within this region during the forecast period.
In North America; government initiatives towards infrastructure development have resulted in increased spending on construction materials including EPS foam blocks which will further boost industry growth over next eight years from 2018 to 2030 time frame.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand from the construction industry for lightweight and durable geotechnical solutions for civil engineering projects
- Growing popularity of EPS Geofoams in mining and tunneling applications as a cost-effective alternative to traditional methods
- Rising awareness about the benefits of using EPS Geofoams among engineers, contractors, and architects
- Technological advancements that have led to the development of more efficient production processes
- The increasing use of EPS Geofoams in landfill rehabilitation projects
