KEY INDUSTRY INSIGHTS

Rubber Foam refers to a polymeric rubber that has undergone the blowing process to form an air-filled matrix structure. Rubber foam is manufactured using two key components, a blowing agent (a gaseous chemical) and a liquid cocktail. The liquid cocktail consists of various polymers, elastomers, water, and other chemical additives such as flame retardants and adhesives. The blowing agent forms a mass of small bubbles within the final material that helps establish its properties. Rubber foams are known for their endurance and compressibility. Rubber foam has found application in household furnishing, automotive cushioning, packaging, and many other fields.


The growth in e-commerce across the globe has resulted in large scale demand for packaging products to ensure the safe delivery of the goods and products to the consumers. With the rise in regulations against traditional polymer packaging products such as polystyrene, the packaging industry is looking for sustainable alternatives. Rubber foam is one of the key sustainable packaging materials. This material offers properties such as high thrust absorption, moisture control, and flame retardance on addition of proper additives. This has resulted in finding huge traction for rubber foam in the packaging industry.

Key Market Driver -

Increase in uptake by packaging industry

Key Market Restraint -

Presence of multiple effective alternatives


Rubber foam competes with alternatives such as polymer films, metal foams, and other polymer foams which perform the functions similar to rubber foam. These alternatives have better performance characteristics, thus resulting in reduced uptake by the end-users. If the price of such products also falls in-line with the rubber foam, it further affects the uptake of rubber foam from the end-users.

Rubber Foam Industry Developments



  • In October 2019, Hynudai Motor Company’s  Ulsan, Korea plant signed a deal with BASF to exclusively use BASF-developed Elastofex, a flexible PU foam, for production of its car seats. Higher comfortability, better elasticity and improved load distribution capability of Elastofex is the primary reason for its selection over conventional foams, states BASF.

  • In May 2019, Huamei Energy Saving Technology (Jiangxi) Co. Ltd. started the operations at their Jiangxi based manufacturing facility. The company put up another production base for its thermal insulation and energy-saving offerings including rubber foams. Furthermore, the company targets strong brand growth in China with this expansion.
