Gas bubbles are added to a polymer matrix during the manufacturing process to produce polymer foam, a lightweight material. In comparison to solid polymer materials, the resulting foam structure is significantly less dense and displays a cellular arrangement with air pockets scattered throughout.

Polymer foams are widely used in packaging materials to protect during transportation and handling. The growth of e-commerce and increased focus on sustainable packaging solutions contribute to the demand for foam materials. Ongoing research and development in polymer science and technology lead to the creation of new and improved foam materials. Innovations in manufacturing processes, formulations, and applications contribute to market expansion. Increasing environmental concerns drive the development of eco-friendly and sustainable polymer foams.

Companies are exploring ways to reduce the environmental impact of foam production, including the use of recycled materials and bio-based feedstocks. Global trends in urbanization and population growth contribute to increased construction activities. As a result, the demand for construction materials, including polymer foams, is expected to grow.
