EPS has found numerous applications across a wide range of industries due to its lightweight, rigidity, acoustic insulating properties, low thermal conductivity, shock and sound absorbing characteristics and moisture resistant properties. A large piece of demand for EPS comes from the building and construction sector, which finds it useful in a myriad of applications such as floor insulation, insulation foam for closed cavity walls and roofs. EPS is one of the foremost choices in green building because of its application in ICF blocks manufacture. It is also used as a resin in global cup and container manufacture market. Moreover, EPS is recyclable plastic. In 2015, over 127 million pounds of EPS was recycled, including 72.8 million pounds of post-consumer packaging and 54.5 million pounds of post-industrial packaging.

Building & insulation and packaging are the major application of EPS, collectively accounting for about 90% of the market share. Downstream demand from the building & construction industry and packaging applications would boost the demand and revenue of EPS market. Growing demand for EPS in food processing, and consumer electronics are expected to drive the EPS market.

More than 100 companies around the world are manufacturing EPS today and this number is expected to touch 200 within the next five years. However, environmental concerns and new environmental regulations being formulated are threatening the EPS manufacturers.

Company profiles of the major players included in the report are Bayer MS, BASF SE, Dow Chemicals, DuPont, Formosa Plastics Group, SABIC, Total S.A., Nova Chemicals Corporation, Eastchem A.S. and Ineos Styrenics among others.
