Emphasis on Type (EPS and XPS); Application (Structure Foundation, Embankments, Slope Stabilization, Insulation, Retaining Structure, and Others); End-Use (Road & Highway, Building & Infrastructure, Airport Runway & Taxiways, and Others); and Region and Country
The Geofoam Market was valued at approximately USD 800 Million in 2023 and is expected to grow at a robust CAGR of around 5.2% during the forecast period (2024-2032). The important factors that are likely to promote the growth of the geofoam coatings market include rising infrastructure activities, a shift towards sustainability, affordable, and suitability across various industries.
Geofoam has been used as a geotechnical material over the last couple of decades. It is just 1% of the weight of soil and less than 10% of the weight of other lightweight fill alternatives. Thereby it is preferred among engineers as a soil substitute. Further, the use of EPS typically translates into benefits to construction schedules and lowers the overall cost of construction because it is easy to handle during construction, often without the need for special equipment, and is unaffected by occurring weather conditions. In addition, EPS geofoam can be easily cut and shaped on a project site, which further reduces job site challenges. Further, the material is resistant to alkalis, dilute inorganic acids, gypsum plaster, alcohols, Portland cement, silicone oil, and solvent-free bitumen. Therefore, as the world is building intricate civil engineering projects on soft ground and slopes, geofoam is one of the typical materials that is gaining market stakeholders’ traction.
This section discusses the key market trends influencing the Geofoam segments as identified by our research experts.
EPS Segment Transforming Industry
Based on the type, the market is categorized into EPS and XPS. Of both, EPS accounted for a significant share in the market owing to its increasing use in road and airfield pavements and railway track systems, beneath refrigerated storage buildings, sports arenas, and storage tanks to prevent ground freezing and heaving, and in the below-ground building to reduce seasonal heating and cooling requirements. Further, in the case of XPS, hydrofluorocarbon (HFC-134a) gas is used as a blowing agent to create the pockets that give it its insulating properties. The HFC-134a is a potent greenhouse gas with a 100-year global warming potential (GWP) is 1430. Therefore, its demand is suffering due to stringent environmental regulations.
North America to hold a significant share of the market
North America accounted for a significant share of the market and is expected to showcase significant growth over the forecast period. This can be ascribed to the high awareness among the construction companies regarding the benefits of geofoam coupled with the presence of many geofoam manufacturers in the region. Also, in the last couple of years, the demand for geofoam has increased significantly in the region owing to rising government focus on sustainable developments.
Geofoam is competitive, with several global and international market players. The key players are adopting different growth strategies to enhance their market presence, such as partnerships, agreements, collaborations, new product launches, geographical expansions, and mergers and acquisitions. Some of the major players operating in the market are Carlisle Companies Inc., Amvic Inc., Atlas Roofing Corporation, Universal Foam Products, Foam Products Corporation, Geofoam International LLC, ThermaFoam, LLC, Expol, Pacific Allied Products, Ltd, Technopol SA.
