Market Overview:
The global polymer foam 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 polymer foam in packaging, building & construction, furniture & bedding, automotive, footwear and sports & recreational applications. Polyurethane (PU) is the most widely used type of polymer foam and is expected to dominate the market during the forecast period. Asia Pacific is projected to be the fastest-growing region in terms of revenue during 2018-2030 owing to rapid industrialization and rising disposable income levels in countries such as China and India.
Product Definition:
Polymer foam is a type of insulation that is made from polyurethane.
-It is very effective at insulating against heat and cold.
-It can be installed in a variety of ways, including spraying it in place or using it to fill gaps between walls and ceilings.
-It is resistant to moisture and pests.
Polyurethane (PU):
PU is a polymer, which is produced from the reaction of phosgene and urethane. It has high demand in construction, automotive & transportation industries owing to its properties such as excellent insulation, durability and weather resistance among others. PU foam is widely used in various end-use industries including furniture & bedding; packaging; textiles; footwear & leather goods among others.
Polystyrene (PS):
PS is a widely used synthetic material that can be manufactured in different forms and colors. It has superior properties such as lightweight, high strength, impact resistance, thermal insulation and chemical inertness which make it suitable for various industries including automotive & transportation, building & construction among others. PS also offers ease of processing and molding which makes it ideal to be used in the manufacturing of foams.
Application Insights:
The packaging segment led the global market and accounted for more than 35.0% share of the overall revenue in 2017. The growing packaging industry, especially in emerging countries such as India, China, and Brazil is expected to drive the demand for polymer foam over the forecast period. In addition, favorable government regulations regarding food safety are anticipated to further propel market growth over the coming years.
Polymer foams find application in various types of packaging including corrugated boxes made from fiberboard or paperboard covered with polyethylene film laminated with aluminum foil; flexible cartons made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or low-density polyethylene (LDPE) coated with a layer of fiberboard; clamshells made from HDPE; egg trays & cartons made from LDPE; bottles & cans made from steel alloys.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific was the largest regional market in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The region accounts for a major share of global population and has been witnessing rapid urbanization, which is likely to have a positive impact on product demand. Furthermore, growing automotive industry in China, India, Japan and other countries are expected to drive product consumption further.
The European market held a significant share of global volume as well as revenue in 2017 owing to high consumer spending capacity coupled with high standard of living and advanced healthcare system in Germany, France Italy etc., which attracts huge number of tourists every year from all over the world thereby boosting tourism sector growth positively impacting overall industry growth positively.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for lightweight and energy-efficient materials in automotive and aerospace industries
- Rising demand from construction and insulation sectors
- Growing popularity of polymer foam in packaging applications
- Technological advancements that improve the properties of polymer foam products
- Rising awareness about the benefits of polymer foam among consumers
