According to Fortune Business Insights the global foam glass market is driven by increasing demand in the building and construction sector, particularly for energy-efficient and sustainable insulation materials. Rising infrastructure projects in developing regions, including Asia Pacific and the Middle East, are major growth drivers.
Foam glass is a rigid, porous glass material—often called cellular glass—produced by heating powdered glass with blowing agents such as carbon or limestone to generate a closed-cell structure. It combines lightweight insulation with excellent chemical and fire resistance.
