Expanded polystyrene (EPS) is a rigid and light weight insulation material. It has various properties such as shock absorption, resistance to humidity, resistance to compression, retention to vitamin C, hygienic, and resistance to chemicals. It finds application in automotive, furnishing, packaging, and construction industries.

The expanded polystyrene market is impacted by its applications in various industries. The properties such as thermal insulation, versatility, mechanical resistance, and slow ageing are desirable in construction markets. Therefore, increase in use of EPS in the construction industry drives the growth of the expandable polystyrene market. Furthermore, it is the lightest packaging available due to its low weight and is ideal for packaging fruit and vegetables. Therefore, these applications in the packaging industry further fuels the market growth. However, volatility of crude oil prices and availability of high-performance substitutes are expected to restrain the market growth. Meanwhile, the properties of EPS such as recyclability and biodegradability offers lucrative growth opportunity for the industry.

The global expandable polystyrene market is divided on the basis of type, end-use industry, and region. Based on product type, the market is divided into white, grey, and black. The white segment was the highest contributor to the market in 2018 and is expected to grow with a CAGR of 4.8% during the forecast period. The white segment was also the highest contributor in terms of volume and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.5% during the forecast period.
