August 2017 | Report Format: Electronic (PDF)

The global structural foam market size is expected to reach USD 42.2 billion by 2025, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc.  The market is expected to witness growth at 5.8%CAGR owing to Increasing infrastructure spending, particularly on residential & commercial buildings, has been a key factor driving the market growth. Moreover, the rising demand from material handling, automobile, and electrical & electronics, is also likely to contribute to the product demand over the forecast period. 

Increasing construction spending, particularly in emerging markets of Brazil, China, India, Mexico, Russia, and South Africa is expected to drive injection molded structural foam demand in these regions. Besides, positive outlook of the global automotive and packaging industries coupled with versatile properties of structural foams including better heat and pressure resistance increases their application scope in various industries.

However, volatility in prices of essential raw materials along with the growing environmental issues concerning their disposal is anticipated to hamper the market growth during the forecast period. On account of these concerns, many of the industry participants are aiming to develop bio-based foams using the injection molding technique.

Key market players such as SABIC, One Plastic Group, and Covestro AG are among the companies involved in the production and distribution of the products and have established themselves as key market participants and have high integration throughout the value chain.
