Driving Factors

The growing construction industry is the main driver of the notable rise in the Japanese polymer foam market. Because of its exceptional strength and insulating qualities, as well as its lightweight nature, polymer foam is becoming increasingly popular in the building industry. The construction industry contributed 5.4% of Japan's nominal gross domestic product (GDP), which was $5.13 trillion in 2019, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. Manufacturers are creating more bio-based and recycled polymer foam materials, which is in line with the nation's strict environmental laws and lofty sustainability goals. Additionally, the demand for polymer foam insulation materials is further increased by the Japanese government's efforts to encourage energy-efficient building techniques. Policies like the Energy Conservation Act and the Zero-Energy Building (ZEB) concept are encouraging developers and builders to use innovative insulation solutions in their projects in order to lower carbon emissions and improve energy efficiency. Therefore, a rise in demand for polymer foam in Japan's building industry is being driven by the convergence of seismic resilience, sustainability, and government incentives.

Restraining Factors

The price fluctuation of raw materials, which can affect manufacturing profit margins and production costs, is one of the main challenges. Due to their reliance on petrochemical feedstocks, polymer foams are vulnerable to changes in the price of crude oil. Furthermore, obstacles to industry expansion include environmental laws and worries about the disposal of non-biodegradable foams.
