Polymer Foam Market: Overview            

Polymer foams are also called plastic foams, foamed plastics that consist of a solid and gaseous phase. These polymers are widely used as polyurethane foams, owing to their low density and thermal conductivity. Different types of polymer foams include polyurethane (PU), polystyrene (PS), polyolefin (PO), phenolic, and others. Such materials are majorly used in the disposable packaging of fast food, the cushioning of furniture, and joint filler in various construction projects.

The entrance of new players in the polymer foam market is also set to propel the market growth. For example, in March 2023, Sika AG, a specialty manufacturer of materials for automotive and construction industries, acquired Belineco LLC, a Belarus-based producer of polyurethane foams systems. This acquisition strengthens its technology to manufacture polyurethane foams.
