Market Overview:
Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) is a
thermoplastic product manufactured by using polystyrene beads. It is composed of many styrene monomers
which are linked together to form polystyrene by polymerization process. The
lightweight, durable, moisture resistance, versatile and easy use properties of
the product are the important trends and factors influencing the market confidently.
Therefore, they are used in various applications such as construction &
buildings, packaging, automotive, and others.
As per our analysis, the Global
Expanded Polystyrene Market is bifurcated into type and application. The market
by type is further divided into white, grey, and black Expanded Polystyrenes.
Among these, the white Expanded Polystyrene segment holds a major portion of
the market on account of its growing use in packaging applications such egg
trays, fast foods owing to its cost effective, convenient to use, and versatile
nature. Moreover, the grey Expanded Polystyrene segment is predicted to witness
a moderate growth in the market due to its high cost of production.
Construction & buildings, packaging, automotive, and others are segregated
on the basis of application. Among these, the packaging segment is set to grow
at a higher rate on account of growing demand for vegetables, fish, poultry,
and others. The automotive segment is set to grow at a higher CAGR on account
of increasing substitution of heavy metals by lightweight materials.
Additionally, the construction & buildings is predicted to witness a rapid growth
due to growing consumption of polystyrene in roofs, walls, and other
structures.
