Metal foams are advanced metal structures that contain a large volume of void pores filled with gas. Metals such as aluminum, copper, tungsten are undergone through processes such as advanced metal powder processing and foaming of aluminum alloy melts. Metal foams exhibit exceptional properties such as high porosity, low thermal conductivity, high compression strength and extremely light weight one of the key factors, owing to which metal foams are gaining high traction among various end-use industries. However, metal foams are expensive and pose a challenge in soldering and welding owing to which the market has not realized its full potential yet. However, with a significant focus on R&D by organizations is projected to create a significant boost in market demand in the forthcoming years.

By product type, open-cell metal foams are projected to witness high growth on account of its structural suitability whereas aluminum metal foams are anticipated to lead the market by the material. By application, anti-intrusion bars will dominate the market due to their usage in the automotive and construction segment, whereas by end-use, growing demand for lightweight metal foams in the automobile industry is projected to create significant traction in coming years.

By region, the global metal foam market is segmented by key regions such as North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. Asia Pacific is projected to dominate the global demand for metal foams on account of the burgeoning automotive industry in the region and growth in disposable income which will lead to growth in the building & construction industry. However, the market growth is projected to be sluggish in 2020, due to the negative economic impact caused by COVID-19.
