Europe Polyolefin Foam Market Growth & Trends
The European polyolefin foam market size is expected treach USD 6.63 billion by 2030, expanding at a revenue-based CAGR of 3.9% from 2025 t2030, according ta new study by Grand View Research, Inc. Rising demand for polyolefin foam from the end-use industries is anticipated tdrive the market in the forthcoming years.
Polyolefin foam is light in weight, strong, and recyclable. The density and thickness of the product can vary through technological processes. Foam of varied densities can be used tcater tdifferent applications, including thermal insulation, noise insulation, impact resistance, furniture, packaging, and consumer goods. Polyolefin foam is expected twitness increased demand in Europe on account of its increasing application in the end-use industries. Growing popularity of lightweight, reusable, and non-toxic materials in furniture, automotive components, sealing, ducting, and consumer goods is projected tpositively impact the product demand in Europe.
Protective packaging solutions for industrial, household, and automotive components and equipment have witnessed rapid growth over the past few years owing tthe increased manufacturing and transportation activities across major economies. Heavy and light goods require protective packaging during transportation tavoid damages and breakages, which, in turn, is expected taugment the demand for effective and better impact-resistant packaging materials. In addition, growing importance of food packaging solutions that are non-toxic and chemically stable is expected tfuel the demand for polyolefin foam materials over the forecast period.
France is projected twitness the highest growth over the forecast period. Expanding automotive industry in the country is significantly contributing towards the growth of polyolefin foam market. According tthe Organisation Internationale des Constructeurs Automobiles (OICA), automotive production in France reached 2.27 million units in 2018 from 2.22 million units in 2017. The automotive manufacturing industry in France is characterized by the presence of several manufacturers, such as Group PSA, Groupe Renault, Venturi Automobiles, BUGATTI AUTOMOBILES S.A.S., and LIGIER GROUP. Thus, growing automotive industry in France is anticipated tcreate significant growth opportunities for the product in the country.
Over the past few years, market players have taken up various strategic initiatives tgain foothold in the market. For instance, in May 2018, Zotefoams plc announced its plan tinvest USD 29.90 million in a new foam manufacturing plant in Central Europe tincrease the production of polyolefin foam by approximately 20%. The production expansion is scheduled tcommence by 2020.
