Polystyrene (PS) & Expandable Polystyrene (EPS) Market to grow at a rate of 4.5% CAGR during 2014-2020

Deerfield Beach, 27/04/2017 (informazione.it - comunicati stampa - industria) Zion Market Research  has published a new report titled “Polystyrene (PS) & Expandable Polystyrene (EPS) Market for Building & Construction, Electrical & Electronics, Packaging and Other Applications: Global Industry Perspective, Comprehensive Analysis, and Forecast, 2014 – 2020.” According to the report, global demand for polystyrene and expanded polystyrene was valued at USD 32 billion in 2014 and is expected to reach USD 42 billion in 2020, growing at a CAGR of approximately 4.5% between 2015 and 2020. In terms of volume, the global polystyrene and expanded polystyrene market stood at 17.5 million tons in 2014.
Polystyrene is a thermoplastic polymer made from the styrene monomer. Benzene and ethyl benzene are the key raw materials used to form styrene. Polystyrene is available as a solid as well as foam. Polystyrene is clear, hard, and rather brittle. Polystyrene is a cheaper resin available in the market. Polystyrene is a commodity resin as the scale of its production being several billion kilograms per year. Polystyrene is transparent; however, it can be colored with colorants. Polystyrene and expanded polystyrene are widely used in host of applications in different industries including, building & construction, electrical & electronics, packaging, etc. Polystyrene (PS) is mainly used for producing disposable plastic cutlery and dinnerware, etc. Polystyrene foams are good thermal insulators and are therefore often used as building insulation materials, such as in insulating concrete forms and structural insulated panel building systems. Expanded polystyrene (EPS) is a rigid and tough, closed-cell foam. It is usually white and made of pre-expanded polystyrene beads. EPS is used for many applications e.g. trays, plates, bowls and fish boxes.

Packaging industry has been remained major driving force for the growth of polystyrene and polystyrene industry. Packaging industry in emerging economies such as China, India, Brazil, South Africa, etc. is growing at a rapid pace. Increasing demand for consumer goods in these countries has been resulted into rise in demand for packaging materials. Moreover, strong growth of food & beverages and pharmaceutical industry in emerging economies is expected to further trigger the demand for packaging industry. However, environmental concern, fluctuating prices of raw materials and substitute materials are expected to present significant challenge to industry participants. This is expected to affect the growth of this industry in the years to come. Recycling of polystyrene is expected to open new growth window for the industry participants.
Polystyrene and expandable polystyrene (EPS) are the key products types of polystyrene market. Polystyrene dominated the global market with around two third shares of the global market in 2014. However, expanded polystyrene is expected to be the fastest growing segment during the forecast period. The key application markets for polystyrene and expanded polystyrene includes packaging industry, electrical & electronics, building & construction, and others applications. Packaging industry dominated polystyrene and expanded polystyrene market with around 40% share of the total volume consumed in 2014. Electrical and electronics segment is expected to be the fastest growing application market for polystyrene and expanded polystyrene. Other applications include disposable razors, plastic cutlery, CD cases, plastic models, Petri dishes, etc. that can also have a moderate level of market for the forecasted period.
