According to the latest report by IMARC Group, titled "Extruded polypropylene (XPP) Foam Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity, and Forecast 2023-2028," the global extruded polypropylene (XPP) foam market size reached US$ 736.2 Million in 2022. Extruded Polypropylene (XPP) foam is a versatile closed-cell bead foam that offers exceptional properties, including excellent energy absorption, impact resistance, thermal insulation, buoyancy, water, and chemical resistance, high strength-to-weight ratio, and 100% recyclability. Its manufacturing process is complicated, which requires technical expertise and specialized custom equipment. It is produced by extruding a mixture of a physical blowing agent to induce strength and elasticity. It also utilizes saturated polymers called CnH2n, which are available in fiber and plastic. It is accessible in different grades for various applications based on technical needs. High-density grades are generally used in automotive bumpers and interior passenger safety components. On the other hand, low-density grades are extensively employed in the packaging industry.
