Market Overview:
The global open cell and closed cell rubber foam market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% from 2018 to 2030. The market growth is attributed to the increasing demand for rubber foam in various applications such as gasket & seals, window & door seals, packaging, footwear insoles, insulation, and others. In terms of type, the NR segment is expected to hold the largest share of the global open cell and closed cell rubber foam market during the forecast period. This can be attributed to its properties such as good thermal insulation and acoustic absorption properties. In terms of application, the gasket & seals segment is projected to grow at a higher CAGR than other segments during the forecast period.
Product Definition:
Open cell rubber foam is a porous material made up of small cells that are interconnected. Air and water can move freely through the open cells, making the foam lightweight and breathable. Closed cell rubber foam is made up of larger, individual cells that are not interconnected. The cells are filled with a gas or liquid, which makes the foam waterproof and resistant to compression. Open cell rubber foam is generally used in applications where weight and breathability are important factors, such as mattresses, camping pads, shoes, wetsuits and insulation.
NR:
Natural rubber (NR) is a polymer, produced from the latex of the rubber tree. It is also known as gutta-percha or guayule. Natural rubber has a unique physical property which makes it suitable for use in high-performance applications including automotive and medical devices. The major application of natural rubber today is in tires that are used for passenger cars and trucks on account of its high strength, resilience, abrasion resistance along with low rolling resistance properties.
EPDM:
EPDM is a type of rubber foam that is produced using the emulsion polymerization process. It has high thermal stability, excellent mechanical strength and possesses low density. EPDM also provides resistance to ozone, UV light and heat which makes it suitable for use in weather stripping & window seals as well as insulation applications in buildings.
Application Insights:
Footwear insoles application segment led the global market in 2017. This is attributed to growing demand for high-quality footwear products, especially in developed economies such as U.S., Germany, and France. In addition, the rising preference for open cell foams over closed cell foams due to better comfort and durability is expected to drive growth over the forecast period.
The packaging segment is anticipated to witness significant growth during the forecast period owing to increasing use of plastics and paper combined with a high barrier property offered by these materials when covered with rubber foam sheets or tiles. The insulation segment also holds promising growth potential owing largely on increased use of fiberglass wool coupled with an increase in temperature tolerance required by building systems such as electrical cables and pipes that are insulated using fiberglass wool blankets or matsting compounds made from NR rubber foam sheets or tiles respectively.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific dominated the global market in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The growth of this region can be attributed to rising demand from end-use industries such as packaging, automotive, construction, electrical & electronics and others. China is one of the largest markets for open cell foam products owing to rapid industrialization along with growing consumer awareness regarding energy conservation.
The European market was valued at USD X billion in 2017 and is projected to expand at a CAGR of XX% from 2018 to 2030 owing high product utilization in manufacturing processes including tooling & die-cutting; medical devices; footwear insoles; gaskets & seals; window/door seals and others across various applications are driving industry growth within this region.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for lightweight and energy-efficient materials in automotive and aerospace industries
- Rising demand for insulation and noise control applications in construction industry
- Growing popularity of rubber foam as a replacement for traditional materials in various end-use applications
- Technological advancements that have led to the development of new grades of rubber foam with better properties
- Stringent environmental regulations encouraging the use of eco-friendly products such as rubber foam
