Market Overview:
The global polyolefin 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 polyolefin foam in automotive, medical, construction, industrial thermal insulation, packaging and consumer goods applications. Polypropylene (PP) foams are expected to dominate the market during the forecast period owing to their properties such as high strength-to-weight ratio, chemical resistance and good thermal insulation properties.
Product Definition:
Polyolefin Foam is a synthetic foam insulation material made from polypropylene or polyethylene. It is usually produced as a closed-cell foam, meaning that the cells are not interconnected and so the material does not absorb moisture. This makes it an effective insulator, as well as a good water-resistant and fire-resistant material.
Polypropylene (PP) Foam:
Polypropylene foam is a closed-cell polyolefin foam, which is produced by the polymerization of propylene. It has high thermal stability and low density. Polypropylene (PP) foams are widely used in various industries including transportation, packaging, building & construction and electrical & electronics owing to its properties such as lightweight, chemical resistance along with excellent insulation properties. PP foam can be easily recycled into new products through melting process thus reducing the waste generation rate significantly.
Polyethylene (PE) foams:
Polyethylene (PE) foams and its usage in Polyolefin foam market is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period. PE foams are widely used as a cushioning material in various industries including furniture, transportation, packaging, bedding & mattresses and leisure products among others. The growing demand for these products is anticipated to drive the global Polyethylene (PE) foams market over the next seven years.
Application Insights:
The automotive application segment led the global polyolefin foam market in 2017 and is projected to expand at a CAGR of XX% over the forecast period. The growing demand for lightweight and high-performance materials in vehicle manufacturing is expected to drive product demand.
Polyolefin foam is widely used as an interlayer between composite materials, such as fiberglass or carbon fiber composites, in automobiles owing to its excellent damping properties and low cost compared to traditional automobile components such as tires or suspension systems. It also finds applications as an acoustic insulation material between metal parts within vehicles, thereby reducing vehicle noise levels and enhancing fuel efficiency by lowering overall vehicular weight. In addition, it has excellent resistance against corrosion caused by road salt due to its chemical composition; this factor is expected to have a positive impact on industry growth over the coming years.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific dominated the global market in terms of revenue with a share of over 45.0% in 2017. The region is expected to witness significant growth due to rising product demand from various end-use industries, such as automotive and packaging, coupled with rapid urbanization and industrialization. In addition, emerging economies such as China and India are projected to propel the regional market growth owing to their abundant raw material supply along with low labor cost advantages over other regions.
The growing population in Asia Pacific has led to an increase in consumer goods demand which is likely drive EVA foam consumption from 2018 to 2030.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand from the construction and automotive industries
- Rising disposable income in developing countries
- Technological advancements in polyolefin foam production processes
- Growing popularity of polyolefin foam as a green building material
- Increasing use of polyolefin foam in packaging applications
