The low cost compared to traditional land stabilization materials is notably driving the geofoams market growth, although factors such as limited technical knowledge and awareness about geofoams in emerging markets may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the geofoams industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Geofoams Market Driver
The low cost compared to traditional land stabilization materials is one of the key drivers supporting the geofoams market growth. Geofoams can be used easily in high complexity projects where large machines cannot work, and materials like shotcrete or soil can be placed easily against geofoam. It eliminates the need for expensive forming and reduces the project cost. Moreover, it saves transportation costs, construction traffic costs, and import costs as one flatbed truck of geofoam is equal to approximately 12 dump truck loads of traditional filling material like soil. By employing geofoam in construction projects, maintenance costs, settlement time, and project construction time are also reduced. Hence, geofoams benefits as an alternative to traditional materials for land stabilization contribute to the growth of the global geofoams market in the forecast period.
Key Geofoams Market Trend
The rise in global construction and infrastructure development activities is one of the key geofoams market trends that is contributing to the market growth. Government initiatives and major investments in new projects have boosted the growth of the construction industry. For instance, the Indian Government launched the Housing for All by 2022 initiative in 2015, which propelled the growth of the construction industry in India. Through this initiative, the government is expected to provide funds for constructing over 20 million new houses, with a carpet area of up to 30 square meters, by the end of 2022. Under this mission, the government is also expected to build new water storage facilities, power infrastructure, and social infrastructures. Hence, there is a wide scope for utilizing geofoams in these newly constructed buildings owing to their cost-effectiveness. Thus, such activities are expected to raise the demand exponentially for the geofoams market during the forecast period.
Key Geofoams Market Challenge
Limited technical knowledge and awareness about geofoams in emerging markets is one of the factors hindering the geofoams market growth. The usage of geofoams for infrastructural development is more prevalent in developed countries. This is because the civil engineers in these regions have more knowledge about using it. However, in emerging markets, the level of awareness is low compared to developed countries. Further, the construction standards in developing nations do not include geofoams, as traditional construction materials such as soil and sand are available easily at a low cost. Moreover, the challenge lies in this limited awareness among engineers. Such a lack of awareness and technical knowledge will impede the geofoams market growth during the forecast period.
This geofoams market analysis report also provides detailed information on other upcoming trends and challenges that will have a far-reaching effect on the market growth. The actionable insights on the trends and challenges will help companies evaluate and develop growth strategies for 2022-2026.

The geofoams market share growth by the EPS segment will be significant during the forecast period. The growing need for new roads may, in many cases, require construction over soft or loose soils that are incapable of supporting additional loads. EPS geofoam can be used to replace compressible soils or in place of heavy fill materials to prevent unacceptable loading on underlying soils and adjacent structures. Construction with EPS geofoam also saves time because it is easy to handle without the need for special equipment and is an engineered product it arrives on site. Thus, such factors of EPS will further boost the demand for the EPS geofoams during the forecast period.
