Global Expanded-Thermoplastic Polyurethane Shoe Material Market Growth 2025-2031
Description
The global Expanded-Thermoplastic Polyurethane Shoe Material market size is predicted to grow from US$ 4069 million in 2025 to US$ 5178 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.1% from 2025 to 2031.
The impact of the latest U.S. tariff measures and the corresponding policy responses from countries worldwide on market competitiveness, regional economic performance, and supply chain configurations will be comprehensively evaluated in this report.
Expanded-Thermoplastic Polyurethane (E-TPU) is a type of advanced foam material made by expanding tiny beads of thermoplastic polyurethane with gas (like steam or CO₂) — forming lightweight, closed-cell, elastic foam beads that are then molded into shapes.
In the footwear industry, E-TPU is used mainly for midsoles and cushioning parts because it offers exceptional energy return, softness, and durability — giving shoes a very “bouncy” feel.
Rising Consumer Demand for Comfort and Performance
Today’s consumers expect shoes to deliver superior comfort, responsive cushioning, and energy efficiency for sports, everyday wear, and long working hours. E-TPU’s high rebound and shock absorption match this trend perfectly, driving its adoption in premium and mid-tier sports footwear.
Athleisure and Lifestyle Trends
The global boom in athleisure — blending athletic features into everyday fashion — has created strong demand for stylish sneakers with sports-level comfort. Brands use E-TPU to differentiate their products in a crowded market by promising advanced cushioning technology inspired by high-performance running shoes.
Brand Innovation and Marketing
Leading sports brands like adidas (BOOST™) and other major players have made E-TPU a selling point for flagship products. Their marketing campaigns highlight the superior “bounce” and comfort, creating strong consumer awareness and fueling wider acceptance.
Advancements in Foaming Technology
Continuous improvements in bead foaming and molding technology have lowered production costs and made large-scale E-TPU manufacturing more feasible. This encourages more brands to adopt E-TPU for midsoles instead of traditional EVA or PU foam.
