The automatic particle foam molding machines market is projected to witness over 10% CAGR from 2023 to 2032. The advent of automation is transforming the capabilities of conventional molding processes. A recent automation trend in injection and other molding technologies is the development of AI-based smart molding systems.
The particle foam molding machines market size from EPS application crossed USD 1 billion in 2022. The increasing focus on sustainability and environment-friendly industrial products is boosting the demand for EPS. It is 100% recyclable and can be reprocessed into different packaging materials, and durable goods. EPS materials offer energy efficiency, recyclability, non-toxicity, and durability, with widespread applications across food processing & packaging. These lightweight insulation materials help reduce carbon emissions, fuel consumption, the release of toxic chemicals, and transportation costs, offering both economic and environmental efficiency, which is facilitating segment expansion.
U.S. particle foam molding machines market is expected to surpass USD 1 billion by 2032 propelled by increasing use of EPS and EPP in various industries. APAC market is anticipated to surpassed USD 732 million in 2022. APAC will emerge as a major hub for particle foaming technologies owing to rapid industrialization. Countries such as China, India, South Korea, and Japan house massive food & beverage sectors, indicating substantial demand for food packaging materials.
Furthermore, the Asia Pacific has a robust HVAC supply chain, with urbanization driving the need for air conditioners, heaters, and other space cooling/heating systems. Particle foam molding machines play a vital role in the development of materials used in HVAC insulation such as EPP, which is fostering the regional industry outlook.
