These are very important materials in the worldwide economy. They are widely used in market sectors, such as the construction, automotive and aeronautical industries, renewable energy, sporting goods and leisure, cushioning and packaging, and biotechnology. Polymeric foams hold the largest global market share of any other foam material and is approximately 10% of annual consumption of polymer materials . The global polymer foam market size was valued at $109.71 billion (US) in 2018 and is projected to expand at an annual growth rate of 4.0% from 2019 to 2025. Polymer foams that are most widely manufactured globally are polyurethane, polystyrene, polyolefin, melamine, phenolic, and polyvinyl chloride (Grand View Research, 2019). The metal foam market is projected to grow from $84 million (US) in 2019 to $103 million (US) by 2024, an annual growth rate of 4.2%.
