The global syntactic foam market size is anticipated to reach USD 204.23 million by 2030 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.3% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc.The market growth is primarily driven by the increasing need for high-performance foams along with the light-weightness in the marine & subsea, aerospace & defense, sports & leisure, and automotive industries, as well as the exceptional mechanical and thermal properties of syntactic foam.
The increasing use of syntactic foam and growth in construction activities are driving the market growth. Syntactic foams made from glass microbeads have attracted much attention in recent years, owing to their excellent mechanical and thermal properties suitable for use as a base material in the naval and aerospace industries.
The market is expected to be driven by factors such as increased deep-water oil and gas production, particularly in the Gulf of Mexico and North Sea, increasing viability of deep-water and ultra-deep-water projects, and narrowing the gap between supply and demand.
