The
increasing demand for the product in consumer goods, furniture, and
construction verticals can be attributed to the improved chemical and
mechanical properties of expanded polypropylene. EPP foam offers high
strength-to-weight ratio, chemical and water resistance, impact resistance, and
ease of fabrication, which thereby offers scope for custom designing and
printing.
The
automotive industry uses a significant amount of EPP foam in floor, door
panels, seats, and bumpers for acoustic management, thermal insulation, and
impact absorption. The growing importance of reducing vehicle weight in order
to improve fuel economy is expected to drive the demand for EPP foam in the
automotive segment over the forecast period.
The
increasing use of foam beads and moulded products in the packaging industry is
a factor driving the market for expanded polypropylene (EPP) foam. The growing
importance of protective and flexible packaging solutions across end-use
verticals, such as electronics, FMCG, and industrial equipment, is expected to
have a positive impact on the overall product demand over the coming years.

Release of this report:
The
market for expanded polypropylene (EPP) foamfaces moderate to high competition
on account of the presence of a large number of manufacturers, fabricators, and
distributors in the industry. A majority of the companies follow an integrated
approach from production of raw materials, to the manufacturing of EPP foam
beads, to the distribution of moulded sheets and other moulded products to
various end-use verticals.
The
presence of relatively lower-priced substitutes such as Expanded Polyethylene
(EPE) and expanded polycarbonate in the market further intensifies the
competition. Expansions, mergers and acquisitions, technological
collaborations, and distribution agreements are the key strategic initiatives
implemented by the key players to diversify product portfolios and expand
geographical reach in order to sustain competitive positions in the market for
expanded polypropylene (EPP) foam.
