The invention discloses a polypropylene foaming material. The polypropylene foaming material comprises the following components according to proportioning by weight: 60-99 parts of polypropylene resin; 0.1-10 parts of nucleating agent; 0.1-5 parts of antioxidant; 0-5 parts of colorant; 0-5 parts of lubricant; and 0-20 parts of filling material; and the melt index of the polypropylene resin is 0.1-20 g/10 min, and the foaming process adopts supercritical fluid as the foaming agent, i.e. 0.1-20 parts of supercritical fluid (proportioning by weight). The invention also discloses a production method of the foaming material. Compared with the prior art, the invention has the advantages that the universal polypropylene can be adopted as a base material, no polymer is provided, the cross-linking reaction does not occur, the foaming process is free from environmental pollution, and the production method is safe; the quality of the obtained foaming material is stable, the foaming percentage and the cell density are high, the distribution is uniform, and the invention is suitable for the industrial production at a large scale; and meanwhile, the overall production method is simple, the operation is easy, and the production cost is relatively lower.
