Packaging foam refers to various types of foam materials used to protect and cushion products during transportation, storage, and handling. It is designed to provide shock absorption, vibration dampening, and insulation to safeguard delicate and valuable items from damage. The various materials of the packaging foam are expanded polystyrene (EPS), polyethylene (PE), polyurethane (PU), and polypropylene (PP). The rise of e-commerce has significantly increased the need for safe and efficient packaging solutions to protect products during transit. As more people shop online, there is an increased demand for packaging foam to safeguard goods from damage during shipping. Moreover, with the expansion of global trade and supply chains, products often undergo long-distance transportation, increasing the risk of damage. Packaging foam helps mitigate this risk and ensures products survive the journey intact which further augments the market growth. However, the uncertainty in the prices of raw materials is a factor impeding the market growth. The Packaging Foam Market is likely grow at a rate of 6% CAGR by 2028
