Key Growth Drivers

The growth of e-commerce continues to fuel the need for protective packaging. Global online retail sales are projected to increase by 15% annually (source: eMarketer), creating steady demand for foam inserts that protect products during shipping. At the same time, the consumer electronics industry is expanding at a rate of 7% annually (source: Statista), further boosting demand for durable foam inserts used in electronics packaging.

Public initiatives supporting sustainable packaging are also playing a crucial role. For example, the European Union's Circular Economy Action Plan encourages recyclable and biodegradable packaging solutions, prompting manufacturers to develop eco-friendly foam inserts.

Market Challenges

Despite strong demand, the industry faces challenges. Foam inserts often use petrochemical-based materials, raising environmental concerns. The sector also struggles with volatile raw material prices, largely influenced by oil price fluctuations. In 2024, petrochemical-based raw material costs rose by 5% (source: ICIS), pushing up average product prices.

Regulatory hurdles, such as restrictions on single-use plastics in the European Union, are increasing pressure on manufacturers to innovate and invest in sustainable alternatives.
