Polymer Foam Market: Key Drivers, Trends, Challenges

Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers, trends, and challenges will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage. 

Key Polymer Foam Market Driver

Accelerating demand for rigid foams is driving market growth.  Rigid foams are a highly versatile and durable form of insulation that provides numerous benefits over other types of insulation. They are lightweight, chemically stable, and offer relatively higher thermal resistance, making them ideal for use in various applications such as structural insulated panels, pipe insulation, and automobiles. Using rigid foams in structural insulated panels provides several advantages, including simplicity and elegance in design, the ability to withstand strong winds and seismic forces, an efficient thermal performance that reduces energy utilization, and easy handling due to its lightweight nature. It also offers superior structural stability across the entire panel. In pipe insulation, rigid foams help to conserve energy by reducing heat loss, withstanding extreme weather conditions, preventing condensation on cold surfaces, and providing high mechanical strength, thus preventing equipment damage.

In automobiles, rigid foams help to reduce the overall weight of the vehicle, minimize sound and vibration, improve fuel efficiency, and enhance durability. Due to these advantages, rigid foams are preferred over other types of insulation, and their popularity is expected to drive the growth of the global polymer foam market in the forecast period.

Major Polymer Foam Market Challenge

Lack of awareness of eco-friendly products is hindering the market. The utilization of bio-based polymer foams, like bio-based PU foam, can reduce the dependence on non-renewable fossil fuels and lower the emission of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, which contribute to global warming. As concerns regarding environmental hazards continue to grow, there is an increasing need to adopt eco-friendly bio-based polymer foam products. Footwear created from thermoplastic bio-based PU offers comfort, skin-friendliness, and environmental sustainability, as these products can be easily decomposed and recycled. However, while developing new products, such as bio-based polymer foams, it is important to consider public acceptance. Conducting an initial analysis of the legal, ethical, and social implications is necessary before introducing bio-based alternatives to conventional materials.

Improving public awareness through education and communication among producers and consumers plays a crucial role in enhancing public acceptance of these eco-friendly products. A lack of awareness about these factors could hinder the growth of the global polymer foam market in the forecast period.

Significant Polymer Foam Market Trends

The increasing number of manufacturers in APAC is trending the market growth. The establishment of new polymer foam production facilities in China is expected to alleviate supply constraints in Europe, leading to a reduction in production costs and a decrease in the cost of the product. Manufacturers in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region are striving for high-capacity utilization to meet the increasing demand for PU, PVC, PE, and other foam materials from South America and Europe, which are the largest consumers of PU, accounting for over 50% of global consumption. China is a key player in the consumption of polymer foam materials, owing to its large population and significant consumption potential across various end-user application segments, including building and construction and footwear.

However, the consumption of PU and other foam materials is also likely to increase in other regions during the forecast period, leading to the conception of several new production projects to meet the growing demand. Overall, the growth of the global PE foam market is expected to be driven by several factors, including the increasing demand for polymer foam materials in APAC, the conception of new production projects to meet growing demand, and the significant consumption potential across various end-user application segments.

Polymer Foam Market Segmentation by Type, Application, Geography

Type Analysis 

The market share growth by the PU segment will be significant during the forecast period. PU is a type of polymer that has a urethane linkage. The reaction of isocyanates with diols containing hydroxyl groups in the presence of a catalyst leads to the formation of PU. By using different kinds of isocyanates and diols, different types of PU can be manufactured for different applications.

The PU segment was valued at USD 43.72 billion in 2017 and continued to grow until 2021. PU is primarily used for construction and insulation purposes and in mattresses and cushions. The growth of the construction and infrastructure industries and the bolstering of the global automotive industry have positively affected the global PU foam market. The market is also driven by population growth and rising disposable incomes in countries such as India. Thus, the increasing demand for PU foams from different industries, such as bedding, furniture, automotive interiors, carpet underlay, and packaging, will drive the growth of the PU segment of the global market during the forecast period.

Application Analysis

Packaging was the largest segment of the global polymer foam market and will continue to remain the largest segment during the forecast period. Polymer foams are extensively used in protective packaging. Polymer foams are used in the packaging industry mainly because of their properties of low weight, surface protection, and thermal insulation. In the packaging industry, polymer foams are used in trays, sheets, protective bands, protecting packaging, and household items. PU foams are soft. They are widely used for packaging lightweight, fragile, and shock-sensitive products.  At present, approximately 90% of manufactured foam is recovered for the use of alternative packaging. The expanding demand for polymers foams in the growing packaging industry due to their superior packaging properties will drive the growth of the global polymer foam market through the packaging segment during the forecast period.

Regional Analysis

APAC is estimated to contribute 47% to the growth of the global market during the forecast period. Technavio’s analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends and drivers that shape the market during the forecast period.

APAC is estimated to contribute 47% to the growth of the global market during the forecast period. Technavio’s analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends and drivers that shape the market during the forecast period.

The primary factors fostering the growth of many applications of polymer foams in APAC are population growth, economic growth, and the rising disposable incomes of the people in India, the Philippines, Malaysia, and China. In addition, China, Japan, India, and South Korea were among the top ten producers of automotive vehicles in 2021. These countries are expected to sustain their market shares during the forecast period. Thus, the market in APAC will benefit as polymer foams have wide applications in the automotive industry.

Furthermore, a rise in demand for food and beverages, alcoholic beverages, and pharmaceuticals is expected to lead to an increase in market share in APAC during the forecast period. In addition, in countries such as India and China, the growing construction industry will drive the demand for polymer foam during the forecast period. For instance, in India, the construction of Navi Mumbai International Airport in Mumbai and the Chenab River Railway Bridge in Jammu and Kashmir will generate strong demand for polymer foam during the forecast period.

The outbreak of COVID-19 in 2020 had a negative impact on the regional market. However, in 2021, due to the availability of COVID-19 vaccines and the large-scale vaccination drives carried out by the governments of countries in APAC, activities in end-user industries, such as the construction, packaging, and automotive industry gradually became normal. Therefore, the demand for polymer foam increased, which revived the growth of the regional market in 2021. Moreover, the growth in the regional economy and strategies adopted by vendors, such as digitization of business processes, will positively impact the growth of the regional market during the forecast period.
