Growth Factors of Packaging Foam Market

The packaging foam market size was valued at USD 14.24 billion in 2023, and the market is now projected to grow from USD 15.12 billion in 2024 to USD 25.01 billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 6.50% during the forecast period of 2024-2032.

During the pandemic, the packaging foam market growth deteriorated negatively because trading activities were banned temporarily. Major pertinent application areas for packing foams are building and construction and automotive. The consumption of foods, beverages, and electronic and electrical goods was declining.

Many items and technologies are being launched in the consumer electronics product category therefore, this sector is evolving rapidly. This has led to a rise in the need for Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) material that is used in packaging of the small electronic devices. The reason that EPS is most appropriate to do that is that it helps to protect the frail and delicate electronic parts which are transported by acting as a shock-absorbing material. There is a high demand for such products as laptops, cellphones, and assorted accessories; thus a high demand equally exists for the EPS packaging material due to its ability to protect the things that are being transported. Overall, all these factors influenced the packaging foam market share globally.

The primary advantage of this packaging is that along with the outside corrugated cardboard box it is used in, it can itself be recycled in curbside bins. The consumer is most favorably affected by the returnability of wood foam, which frees up the utilization of other difficult recyclable materials.
