According to our Researcher latest study, the global Expanded Polyethylene (EPE) Foam market size was valued at USD 1128.1 million in 2023 and is forecast to a readjusted size of USD 1721.1 million by 2030 with a CAGR of 6.2% during review period.
Expanded Polyethylene (EPE) Foam refers to foams made from polyethylene. Typically it is made from expanded pellets ('EPE bead') made with use of a blowing agent, followed by expansion into a mold in a steam chest - the process is similar to that used to make expanded polystyrene foam.
In terms of application, the construction segment holds a significant share in the market. This can be attributed to the increasing use of polyethylene foam in the construction sector for wrought, pipe-in-pipe, doors, roof shingles, panels, etc. The demand for the product is likely to be driven by growing population and increasing demand for housing, which will further accelerate construction activities in the residential sector, thereby aiding industry growth. At the same time, growing demand for protective packaging, which is used in various industries such as food and beverage, automotive, and pharmaceuticals, to protect core products from damage during transportation or storage, is driving the development of Foam polyethylene foam on demand. Therefore, the protective packaging segment is crucial and holds a considerable share in the market. Additionally, the product’s application in the automotive sector is also crucial as it finds use in headliners, mirror seals, seat pads, and more. Moreover, the continuous efforts of automakers to reduce the weight of common vehicles to make them more fuel efficient and perform better may positively impact the market growth over the forecast period.
