By type, extruded polystyrene is expected to be the fastest-growing segment during the forecast period
Extruded polystyrene (XPS) is a type of rigid foam insulation that is widely used in building and construction applications due to its high insulation values, low thermal conductivity, and resistance to moisture. This type of foam also has an excellent strength-to-weight ratio, which makes it ideal for use in geofoam applications. In addition, XPS is easy to cut and shape, and is suitable for use in a variety of applications including ground stabilization, slope protection, and pavement insulation. The increasing use of XPS in geofoam applications is expected to drive the growth of the geofoam market during the forecast period.
The structure foundation segment revenue is expected to account for a large revenue share
During the forecast period, the structure foundation segment is expected to account for a significant revenue share in the geofoam market. Geofoam is used in a variety of structures, including road embankments, bridge abutments, retaining walls, and others. It is used in these structures to provide support, reduce settlement, and reduce structure weight. The increasing use of geofoam in these structures is expected to drive the structure foundation segment's market growth during the forecast period.
