Foam Core Material Market

The foam core material market is projected to grow from USD 1.08 billion in 2025 to USD 2.07 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 14.0% during the forecast period.

The global foam core material market is experiencing robust growth, propelled by the escalating demand for lightweight and high-performance composite structures in wind energy, aerospace, marine, automotive, and construction sectors. The increasing demand for high-performance, lightweight products has led to the introduction of new advanced foams made from PVC, PET, SAN, and PMI being applied as an alternative to improve the performance of the products while decreasing the overall weight and achieving compliance with energy efficiency and sustainable development regulations. Wind energy continues to be the largest consumer of foam core materials because of the rapid increase in global offshore and onshore wind turbine installations requiring longer, lighter, more robust, and fatigue-resistant turbine blades. Also, aerospace, marine, and automotive manufacturers are now using next-generation foam core materials to increase fuel economy, reduce carbon emissions, and enhance the life of essential components.
