Foam Board Market Research Report

On Sep 15, Global Info Research released "Global Foam Board Market 2025 by Manufacturers, Regions, Type and Application, Forecast to 2031". This report includes an overview of the development of the Foam Board industry chain, the market status of Foam Board Market, and key enterprises in developed and developing market, and analysed the cutting-edge technology, patent, hot applications and market trends of Foam Board.

According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Foam Board market size was valued at US$ 5219 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of USD 7163 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 4.5% during review period.
In this report, we will assess the current U.S. tariff framework alongside international policy adaptations, analyzing their effects on competitive market structures, regional economic dynamics, and supply chain resilience.
Foam board refers to a lightweight yet rigid panel made by laminating polymer foams such as expanded polystyrene (EPS), polyurethane foam, expanded polyethylene (EPE), and expanded polypropylene (EPP) with protective facing layers. It is widely used in packaging, insulation, signage, construction, and automotive applications due to its strength-to-weight ratio, thermal resistance, and shock absorption capabilities. In 2024, global foam board production surpassed 1,445 thousand metric tons (kmt), with an average market price above USD 3,510 per ton. By type, EPS dominates the market for cost-sensitive packaging and insulation; polyurethane foam is prevalent in building insulation; EPE and EPP are favored in reusable protective packaging and automotive interiors, while other specialty foams cater to niche industrial uses.
The upstream supply chain is centered on petrochemical producers that supply styrene, isocyanates, polypropylene, and polyethylene as feedstocks for foam manufacturing. Producers such as BASF, Covestro, Dow, and SABIC play a critical role in securing raw materials, while additives like blowing agents, flame retardants, and surface laminates are sourced from specialized chemical suppliers. Foam board manufacturers, including Sonoco Products Company, Sealed Air Corporation, Pregis Corporation, Atlas Molded Products, Rogers Foam Corporation, Altor Solutions, Schaumaplast, Carpenter, and Nefab Group, convert these raw inputs into finished boards through extrusion, molding, and lamination processes. Downstream, foam boards are procured by industries with distinct purchasing characteristics: the construction sector values thermal efficiency and fire resistance, packaging users prioritize lightweight cushioning and recyclability, automotive OEMs require precision-molded EPP and polyurethane for safety and interior applications, while retail and display industries seek high-quality surface finishes for signage. These buyers often engage in long-term contracts, balancing cost efficiency with product customization.
Market trends indicate steady growth driven by sustainability, e-commerce expansion, and construction activity. Rising demand for energy-efficient building materials has boosted polyurethane and EPS insulation boards, while the surge in global e-commerce is fueling consumption of protective packaging foams like EPE and EPS. At the same time, manufacturers are investing in recycling technologies, bio-based foams, and improved lamination techniques to meet regulatory pressures on plastics and address consumer demand for greener alternatives. The competitive landscape remains fragmented, with leading firms such as Sonoco, Sealed Air, and Pregis expanding through acquisitions and product innovation, while regional players like Schaumaplast and Nefab Group strengthen their presence in niche or local markets. Looking forward, foam board demand will be shaped by stricter environmental standards, the transition toward circular economy solutions, and the integration of advanced foams into high-performance applications across automotive, electronics, and renewable energy sectors.
