EPP Foam Market by Type (Low-Density, High-Density & Porous PP), Application (Automotive, Packaging, Consumer Products), and Region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, South America, Middle East & Africa) - Global Forecast to 2028

The global EPP foam market is projected to grow from USD 1.4 billion in 2023 to USD 1.8 billion by 2028, at a CAGR of 5.7% from 2023 to 2028. Due to its adaptable qualities, EPP foam has recently seen an unparalleled increase in demand on a global scale, playing a crucial role in a variety of industries. Applications where innovation, sustainability, and high performance are required has created demand of EPP foam, a lightweight, resilient material that is also environmentally friendly.

“The porous PP, by type segment, is projected to grow at the highest CAGR from 2023 to 2028.”

To capture dust, pollen, and other airborne particles, porous PP is utilised in car air filters. By removing allergens and pollutants from the cabin air before they can enter the car's interior, cabin air filters constructed of porous PP can help enhance air quality. Lithium-ion batteries in electric and hybrid cars use porous PP as a separator material. It is essential for preventing short-circuits between the positive and negative electrodes of the battery while permitting ion passage.

“Automotive, in by application segment, is projected to grow at the highest CAGR from 2023 to 2028.”

EPP foam has commercial opportunities as the market for electric and autonomous vehicles (AVs) expands. Both EVs and AVs require lightweight components to increase range and sophisticated safety measures, which are advantages of EPP foam. The potential of EPP foam to enhance the supply chain by reducing part damage during transit and assembly aids in streamlining production procedures and lowering costs. To improve comfort and aesthetics, EPP foam is used in a variety of interior components, including armrests, door panels, and console inserts.

“Asia Pacific EPP foam market is projected to grow at the highest CAGR from 2023 to 2028.”

Asia Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing market for EPP foam market during the forecast period. Materials like EPP foam that can improve vehicle safety by absorbing impact energy are more necessary as safety regulations in the automobile industry get stringent. Technology improvements in the production of EPP foam have increased its affordability and adaptability. This has promoted its application across a range of industries in Asia Pacific. EPP foam demand is rising as a result of the diverse industrial landscape, rapid economic development, and rising consumer demands in the Asia Pacific region.
