PET Foam Market Dynamics

Increasing Construction Activities in the Asia-Pacific Region to drive the PET Foam Market Thanks to fast growing middle class population, particularly in developing economies such as China and India, and ASEAN countries, need for housing is clearly increasing at a rapid pace. This is causing an increase in residential building all through the region, which is likely to boost the market for PET foam used in architectural applications and other application sectors. PET foam-based constructions are well recognised for their simplicity of installation, improved energy efficiency, lower maintenance and repair costs, and so give more efficient solutions to the building industry. Furthermore, the particular features of PET foam and its unique eco-balance enable building industry directions for ecologically responsible and resource-friendly building design, construction, operation, and maintenance throughout its full life cycle. The Asia-Pacific construction industry is expected to become the world's largest and fastest-growing industry, both in the residential and commercial sectors, with the region accounting for around 45% of global construction spending. The Indian government is focusing on infrastructure development in order to stimulate economic growth. China is in the midst of a massive development boom. The country is the world's largest construction market, accounting for 20% of total worldwide construction investment. By 2030, the country is estimated to spend over USD 13 trillion on construction. In 2020, the Chinese government set an annual maximum of CNY 3 trillion for a new infrastructure bond. Therefore, from the factors mentioned above, the demand for PET foam from the building and construction industry is expected to increase during the forecast period. Increasing Usage in the Automotive Industry to drive the PET Foam Market The need for light weight polymers and composite materials has increased in recent years as a result of rising customer demand for fuel-efficient and lightweight cars. PET foam has several advantages, including superior thermal stability, minimal water absorption, good electrical characteristics, and great surface qualities. PET foams are utilised in the production of external body components, as well as the casing and housing of numerous automobile parts such as wiper arms and gear housings, engine covers, interior trim, connector housings, headlight retainers, and many more. Substituting foam for heavier materials results in an overall weight reduction of roughly 10%, resulting in a 3% to 7% gain in fuel economy. Automobile manufacturing fell in 2022 as a result of the US-China trade dispute and other political factors. Due to the dismal sales in the second half of 2022, this is expected to continue in the first half of 2022. The car sector, on the other hand, is expected to revive by the end of 2023. Furthermore, the development of electric cars may gain traction in the next years, particularly in Europe, China, and the United States, where several government initiatives are supporting a shift away from fossil fuels due to different environmental concerns. Because of all of these factors, the global market for PET Foams is expected to grow over the forecast period. Availability of Substitutes for Pet Foam: A restraint to overcome for PET Foam Manufacturers PET is inexpensive and lightweight, has strong mechanical and thermal insulating qualities, is more resistant to heat, is safer and less poisonous, is more easily recycled, and has a reduced carbon footprint. However, the reproducible creation of stable, homogenous PET foams can be difficult and discouraging to producers. To begin, foaming PET necessitates the insertion of additives into the polymer, such as chain extenders. Furthermore, because the melting point of PET is roughly 250°C, the equipment utilised must be prepared for high temperatures. As a result, there are several core foams on the market, including Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), Styrene Acrylonitrile (SAN), Polymethacrylimide (PMI), and Polyetherimide (PEI). These foams are simple to produce and shape, and they have a high strength-to-weight ratio. As a result, they are employed in the wind energy, aerospace and defence, maritime, and transportation industries. These foams might be used as a replacement for PET foam. As a result, the presence of a high number of replacements is seen as a major impediment to market expansion. In compared to general-purpose polystyrene resin, Styrene Acrylonitrile (SAN) has greater mechanical qualities, chemical resistance, and heat resistance. SAN outperforms conventional foams in terms of surface gloss, dimensional stability, mechanical strength, and electrical characteristics. It can be treated more readily than acrylic resins. Furthermore, as compared to other foams of comparable density, PVC foams are closed-cell, moisture resistant, and have superior physical qualities. It burns itself out and will not decay. Other inherent properties are excellent fatigue life and good bond strength with common adhesives and resins. However, the presence of substitutes is likely to restrain the PET foam market during the forecast period.

PET Foam Market Segment Analysis

Based on Grade Type, the density of the foam has a considerable impact on its performance. While low density foams are softer and more flexible than high density foams, they cannot tolerate extreme pressure or weight. Because of its greater appropriate performance in many applications, low-density PET foams have a bigger market share than high-density PET foams. PET foam is favoured at low density, particularly for applications such as commercial container applications, since low-density foam performs better at low temperatures and provides the essential rigidity for deeply formed containers.PET Foam Market Because of its lightweight and good chemical and electrical resistance, low-density PET foam is regarded a perfect choice for a variety of end-use sectors, including transportation, building and construction, and packaging. Low-density PET foams are being driven by the rapid growth of the packaging, building, and construction sectors, as well as the widespread use of low-density PET foam and its better attributes compared to alternative core materials in these industries.
