Global Expanded Polypropylene Foam Market 2023-2029
Expanded polypropylene (EPP) is a versatile closed cell beaded foam with a unique set of properties including excellent energy absorption, multiple impact resistance, thermal insulation, buoyancy, water and chemical resistance, extremely high strength to weight ratio, and 100% recyclability. EPP can be made in a wide range of densities, from 15 to 200 grams per liter, which are transformed by molding into densities ranging from 18 to 260 grams per liter. The individual beads are fused into the final product form by the steam-chest molding process resulting in a strong and lightweight shape. Due to its many positive characteristics, combined with a high degree of freedom of design, EPP offers a wide range of possible applications. EPP foam has been successfully used in various industries and markets. In the automotive sector as crash cushions or footrests, in the HVAC (heating, air conditioning and ventilation) sector as insulation or housing, in the sports and leisure sector as fascia rolls or drone bodies. The latest analysis predicts global EPP foam market will grow from USD 1,186 million in 2022 to USD 1,809 million by 2029, achieving a CAGR of 6.2 percent, according to the latest edition of the Global Expanded Polypropylene Foam Market Report.
