Medical Foam Market by Form (Flexible, Rigid, Spray), Material (Polymers, Latex, Metals), Application (Bedding & Cushioning, Medical Packaging, Medical Devices & Components, Prosthetics & Wound Care), and Region - Global Forecast to 2025
Updated on : March 24, 2023
Medical Foam Market
The medical foam market was valued at USD 27.7 billion in 2020 and is projected to reach USD 37.2 billion by 2025, growing at a cagr 6.1% from 2020 to 2025. The key factors driving the growth of this market are the increase in the aging population, a rise in global healthcare expenditure, growth of the implantable devices sector and shift from traditional to advanced wound care products.
The flexible foam segment is projected to be the largest segment during the forecast period in terms of volume
Based on form, the flexible foam segment accounted for the largest share in 2019. The growth of this segment can be attributed to the consumption of bedding & cushioning applications, packaging of medical devices, and foam dressing in wound care applications, among others. The consumption of flexible foam is higher in such applications due to its properties such as softness, moisture resistance, high impact & mechanical properties.
By material, polymers are expected to be the largest segment of the medical foam market during the forecast period
By material, the polymer segment accounted for the largest share of the medical foam market in 2019. This large share is attributed mainly to its properties, such as low weight, heat preservation, sound absorption, biocompatibility, and excellent cushioning. The major types of polymer foam used in medical applications include polyurethane foam, polystyrene foam, polyolefin foam, and others. The polymers segment of the market is expected to dominate the medical foam industry.
Bedding & cushioning is projected to be the largest application of the medical foam market during the forecast period
An increase in the aging population & the need for patient comfort is expected to drive the bedding & cushioning segment. Flexible foams are preferred for bedding and upholstery due to the high resilience offered by them. The materials are used in surgical beds, cushions, comfort/positioning pads, wheelchair seats, and orthopedic support, among others, contributing to the growing demand for medical foams in the bedding & cushioning applications.
Asia Pacific projected to grow at highest CAGR during the forecast period
Asia Pacific accounted for the largest share of the global medical foam market in 2019, followed by Europe and North America. China is one of the major consumers of medical foam in the Asia Pacific region. The market here is witnessing growth owing to the demographic changes, increasing healthcare spending, industrial development, and improving economic conditions.

The study involved four major activities in estimating the current size of the medical foam market. Exhaustive secondary research was carried out to collect information on the market, peer markets, and the parent market. The next step was to validate the findings obtained from secondary sources, assumptions, and sizing with industry experts across the value chain through primary research. Both, the top-down and bottom-up approaches were employed to estimate the complete market size. Thereafter, the market breakdown and data triangulation procedures were used to estimate the market size of segments and subsegments.
Secondary Research
In the secondary research process, sources such as D&B Hoovers and Bloomberg BusinessWeek were referred to for identifying and collecting information for this study. Other secondary sources included annual reports, press releases & investor presentations of companies, whitepapers, certified publications, articles by recognized authors, gold standard & silver standard websites, associations, regulatory bodies, trade directories, and databases.
Primary Research
The medical foam market comprises stakeholders such as manufacturers, suppliers, and distributors, and regulatory organizations in the supply chain. The demand side of this market is characterized by developments in application areas such as bedding & cushioning, medical packaging, medical devices & components, and prosthetics & wound care, among others. The supply side is characterized by market consolidation activities undertaken by medical foam manufacturers. Several primary sources from the supply and demand sides of the market were interviewed to obtain qualitative and quantitative information. Following is the breakdown of primary respondents.

Market Size Estimation:
Both, the top-down and bottom-up approaches were used to estimate and validate the total size of the medical foam market. These methods were also used extensively to estimate the size of various subsegments in the market. The research methodology used to estimate the market size included the following:
- Key players in the industry and markets were identified through extensive secondary research.
- The industry’s supply chain and market size, in terms of volume and value, were determined through primary and secondary research processes.
- All percentage shares, splits, and breakdowns were determined using secondary sources and verified through primary sources.
Data Triangulation:
After arriving at the overall market size—using the medical foam market size estimation process explained above—the market was split into several segments and subsegments. To complete the overall market engineering process and arrive at the exact statistics of each market segment and subsegment, data triangulation, and market breakdown procedures were employed, wherever applicable. The data was triangulated by studying various factors and trends from both, the demand and supply sides.
