“The Global PP Bubble Sheets Market size was US$ 181.1 million in 2023 and is likely to grow at a healthy CAGR of 3.4% in the long run to reach US$ 227.7 million in 2030.”
Market Dynamics
Introduction
PP bubble is a lightweight and high-strength sheet made from PP. These sheets feature a unique internal structure consisting of bubble-like cells, this sheet structure improves the strength and its resistance to bending while at the same time, the air pockets within the bubble structure provide excellent thermal insulation, helping to maintain temperature stability. The bubble-filled core is enclosed by two polypropylene sheets that fulfill several roles: they provide structural reinforcement, shield the core from external factors, and present a smooth surface ideal for diverse finishing applications. Additionally, these sheets can be manufactured in various sizes, thicknesses, and configurations to meet different application needs.
Drivers
PP Bubble sheets are extensively adopted across various industries, including automotive, construction, packaging & protection, and other industries due to their lightweight, and enhanced strength and rigidity, the unique bubble structure provides additional strength and rigidity to the sheet. PP bubble sheets combine lightweight construction with enhanced strength and rigidity, making them a versatile and cost-effective solution for a wide range of industrial and commercial applications. PP bubble sheets are also widely used to create reusable shipping containers, pallets, and other logistics solutions. Their durability allows them to endure repeated use, while their lightweight nature helps lower shipping costs, all these factors are driving the market's growth.
Recent Market Expansion:
- In October 2020, Aerolam, one of the leading manufacturers of air bubble sheets and XLPE insulation, has recently announced an investment of USD 13 million to establish a new manufacturing unit in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India. This new facility will focus on producing bubble guards. Over the past decade, Aerolam Group has expanded both, vertically and horizontally, exporting various insulation products to 13 countries, this expansion solidifies Aerolam's position in the market.
Recent Product Development:
- In April 2019, Inteplast Group Launched the Intepro® TITAN™ bubble board. This innovative item is a three-ply laminated sheet with a unique inner core construction. The core features a bubble pattern resembling a honeycomb, this enables Inteplast to create a bi-directionally strong material suitable for heavy-duty application.
