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.
