Expandable microspheres are microscopic spheres comprising a thermoplastic shell encapsulating a low boiling point liquid hydrocarbon. When heated to a temperature high enough to soften the thermoplastic shell, the increasing pressure of the hydrocarbon will cause the microsphere to expand. The volume can increase by 60 to 80 times.
The global market for Expandable Microspheres is estimated to increase from US$ 524.9 million in 2021 to reach US$ 959.9 million by 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 9.0% during 2022-2028. Keeping in mind the uncertainties of COVID-19 and Russia-Ukraine War, we are continuously tracking and evaluating the direct as well as the indirect influence of the pandemic on different end use sectors. These insights are included in the report as a major market contributor.
Global key players of expandable microspheres include Nouryon, Matsumoto Yushi-Seiyaku, Kureha, Sekisui Chemical, Kumyang, etc. The top five players hold a share about 80%. Japan is the largest production area, holds a share around 39%, followed by Europe and North America, with share 24% and 22%, separately. The largest market is Asia-Pacific, holds a share about 33%, followed by North America and Europe, with around 31% and 26% market share respectively.
