Rising Demand from Building and Construction Activities is Propelling the Market Growth of Polyethylene Foam
The global market for polyethylene foam is being driven by its increasing utility in the building and construction industry. XLPE foams have excellent thermal insulation, moisture resistance, and sound absorption properties, making it suitable for house and commercial construction projects.
Owing to the increasing disposable incomes of people and the resultant rising standards of living, spending on construction and renovation projects around the world is positively influencing the growth of the market. In addition to this, various developmental projects in emerging economies, such as the construction of malls, offices, and other commercial constructions, are augmenting the demand for polyethylene foams.
Moreover, trends surrounding the modernisation of architecture, government investments surrounding urbanisation and industrialisation are boosting the construction applications, further contributing towards the growth of the market. However, the negative impact of polyethylene foam on environment may hinder the market growth. Nonetheless, research programmes centred around the development of CO2-based polyols to reduce the dependency on petroleum reserves and aid in sustainability are expected to boost the market in the coming years.
