Market Opportunities

  • Growing product usage in passenger safety and noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) reduction applications
  • Surging investments by major players for market expansion

Market Definition

Expanded polypropylene (EPP) foam is manufactured by polypropylene. These foams are highly versatile closed-cell bead foam that offers a unique range of properties, such as multiple impact resistance, thermal insulation, outstanding energy absorption, buoyancy, water and chemical resistance, exceptionally 100% recyclability and high strength-to-weight ratio.

Global Expanded Polypropylene (EPP) Foam Market Dynamics

Drivers

  • Increasing demand of expanded polypropylene (EPP) foam in automotive sector

Expanded polypropylene (EPP) foam is extensively used in the automotive sector for thermal insulation, acoustic management, and impact absorption in the floor, seats, bumpers and door panel. Moreover, the growing usage of electric cars promotes the growth of the expanded polypropylene (EPP) foam market because these foams play an important role in manufacture lightweight and thermally insulated electric vehicles, thereby improving the energy absorption capabilities of electric vehicles. Therefore, increasing demand of expanded polypropylene (EPP) foam in automotive sector is expected to drive the market growth.

  • Growing popularity of porous expanded polypropylene (EPP) foam

Porous expanded polypropylene (EPP) is included cylinder-shaped polypropylene beads, which increases air space between the beads in the final moulded form, thus increases advantageous acoustical insulating effects and also reduces overall weight. Porous expanded polypropylene (EPP) foam is generally black coloured for automotive applications, however it is often found in white for the packaging products. It is available from some providers in vibrant colours which are suitable for a presentation-grade textured surface. Thus, growing popularity of porous expanded polypropylene (EPP) foam is anticipated to drive the market growth

Opportunities

  • Growing product usage in passenger safety and noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) reduction applications

The market is anticipated to grow steadily and maintain its lead during the forecast period, because of increased usage of expanded polypropylene (EPP) foam in passenger safety and noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH). Furthermore, the increasing importance of reducing overall weight of passenger vehicles to increase fuel economy is expected to create lucrative opportunities for the growth of the market during the forecast period.

  • Surging investments by major players for market expansion

The surging investments by major market players further offer numerous growth opportunities within the market. For instance, KANEKA CORPORATION has announced the investment of USD 17 million in 2018, to increase the capacity for Eperan expanded polypropylene and polyethylene particle foams at its Westerlo site in Belgium. This expansion was undertaken owing to the penetration of Eperan foam in Europe

Restraints/ Challenge

  • Fluctuating prices of raw material

The easy availability of propylene which is a major raw material for the production of expanded polypropylene (EPP) foam, in major economies has supported the global industry's raw material supply but the volatility associated with the price of these raw material is anticipated to affect the overall cost of final product prices and limiting the market growth during the forecast period.

  • Availability of alternative options

Availability of expanded polypropylene (EPP) foam substitutes in the global market such as expanded polyethylene (EPE) and expanded polycarbonate is another major factor expected to hamper the market growth during the forecast period of 2023 to 2030.
