Modernization of the construction industry
The continuous rise in population and the increasing demand for industrial infrastructure are causing demand in the construction industry, which anticipated the demand for the geofoam market. The evaluation of the construction industry with the adaptation of advanced construction materials instead of traditional construction materials for improving the strength and durability of the buildings or roads.
The geofoam market provides the perfect solution for addressing construction issues with enhanced strength and flexibility. Geofoam provides multi-functional benefits in construction applications, such as the construction of buildings, structures, and foundations. Also, it provides thermal insulation and landscaping, stadiums, roadways, and other applications.
Cost of material
The increased initial cost of the geofoam as compared to the traditional type of construction material and the unawareness about the modern advanced material collectively restrain the growth of the geofoam market.
Rising concern over sustainability
The rising concern over environmental impact is due to the continuously growing construction industry and the carbon emissions on the environment. The increasing adaptation of greener solutions or alternatives for creating sustainability in construction applications contributed to the adoption of the geofoam market.
Geofoam is a completely toxic-free chemical material that does not emit any type of carbon into the atmosphere and does not contribute to global warming. Geofoam reduces the percentage of garbage in the construction industry. Overall, the increasing concern over sustainability accelerates the potential opportunity for the geofoam market expansion.
The expanded polystyrene (EPS) geofoams segment led the global geofoam market in 2024. The rising demand for expanded polystyrene from the wide applications of the construction industry while it is building or roadways construction. The EPS geofoam is 100% recyclable material. The expanded polystyrene (EPS) geofoams are used in the construction industry. It is the most cost-efficient, lightweight, and durable material, which can be used in different industries and applications such as bridge abutments, road construction, building foundations, stadium and theater seating, road construction, landscaping, and insulation, and used as the fill for the underground utilities.
The extruded polystyrene (XPS) geofoams segment will witness notable growth in the forecast period. The rising adoption of extruded polystyrene (XPS) geofoams by the construction industry due to their energy-efficient and thermal bridging properties boosts the demand for the segment. The extruded polystyrene (XPS) geofoams used in the extruded polystyrene (XPS) geofoams as the above grade insulation applications like ceilings, walls, roofs, and attics and below-grade applications like in basements and foundations.
The building and infrastructure segment expects substantial growth during the predicted period. The increasing demand for infrastructural development across the world and the rapid expansion of urbanization are driving the demand for efficient and cost-effective construction of roads and highways, which causes the demand for the geofoam market.
