    REPORT DESCRIPTION

    The Global Expanded Polyethylene Foam (EPE Foam) market is expected to exceed more than US$ 250 Million by 2027 at a CAGR of 4.6% in the given forecast period.

    The demand for Expanded Polyethylene (aka EPE foam) is anticipated to extend on the backdrop of growth in demand for convenience packaging across the globe. It’s been observed that EPE foam with shock absorption, vibration dampening has high demand, significantly in Protective Packaging activity, and thus, is projected to register moderate to high growth. Key restraining factors for EPE foam market is the increasing price of raw materials being used for packaging and the environmental issues like recycling.

    Expanded Polyethylene (aka EPE foam) refers to foams made from polyethylene. Typically it is made from expanded pellets (‘EPE bead’) made with use of a blowing agent, followed by expansion into a mold in a steam chest – the process is similar to that used to make expanded polystyrene foam. EPE Foam is a lightweight, semi-rigid, flexible closed cell foam, most commonly used in packaging, for impact and shock absorption, vibration dampening, and surface protection. It is also used in some of our gym floor mats and foam gym equipment.

    EPE is extremely versatile as it is easily shaped, formed, routed, and cut to size. It is dust-free is nonabrasive, is inert, and resistant to fuels and oils. This EPE is semi-rigid, yet flexible and pliable. Its closed cell structure is moisture resistant.

    The global Expanded Polyethylene Foam (EPE Foam) market is segregated on the basis of Application as Protective Packaging, Industrial Thermal Insulation, Automotive, and Building and Construction. Based on Type the global Expanded Polyethylene Foam (EPE Foam) market is segmented in EPE Foam Coil, EPE Foam Sheet, and Shape EPE Foam.
