Report Description


The US expandable polystyrene market size was USD 10.43 Billion in 2022 and is likely to reach USD 15.91 Billion by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 4.8% during 2023–2031. The growth of the market is attributed to rising demand for lightweight and sustainable solutions which dispense exceptional durability along with better thermal insulation.

The increasing demand for thermal insulation in buildings and construction industry and acoustic sector in expanding economies is projected to expand the demand for high-quality polymers. Increasing construction activities of residential and commercial buildings, which can withstand extreme external environmental conditions with ease, are further anticipated to fuel the market growth over the forecast period.

US Expandable Polystyrene Market Outlook

Expanded polystyrene is a sustainable and lightweight chemical polymer created with polystyrene beads. It has various utilities such as magnificent durability and resistance and resistant to moisture; thereby, it is used in several sectors such as construction, packaging and others.

Expanded polystyrene is a by-product of polymerization of a large number of styrene monomers linked together to
polystyrene. It is an unbending cellular plastic holding an expansion agent.

The COVID-19 pandemic had an unpleasant impact on the expandable polystyrene market. The production has been on halt and both the demand and supply ware affected. The market suffered huge loss; however, the government’s steps and strategies have helped to neutralised the situation. This pandemic has encouraged the key players to implement advance technologies to overcome these challenges and expand the market growth.

  • Increasing urbanization, industrialization, and construction activities is expected to drive the market during the forecast period.

  • The rise in the demand for commercial and residential buildings in developing economies is expected to aid polystyrene market

  • It is used in the construction industries which helps in reducing energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions and is likely to spur the market.

  • Insulation offered by expanded polystyrene is crucially driving its demand in green buildings. Therefore, with the rising demand for green buildings, the market is anticipated to expand significantly in the near future.

  • Factors such as rising product application in various end-use industries and increasing demand for reusable, lightweight, and chemically stable materials in automotive components, furniture, packaging solutions, are estimated to drive the market.

  • Unstable prices of raw materials are expected to hinder the market growth.

  • Stringent restrictions and regulations on the usage of particular polystyrene product is expected to impede the demand for expanded polystyrene.

  • R&D investment and technological advancement in expandable polystyrene market are expected to offer lucrative opportunities for the market players.
