The market for expanded polystyrene has witnessed a stable growth owing to the rising demand from the packaging sector. Expanded polystyrene (EPS) is a rigid and lightweight insulation material. It has a closed-cell structure that offers several advantages for insulation.

Triton Market Research’s report on the expanded polystyrene market provides an in-depth insight into the market. The detailed analysis of the market includes the key market insights, Porter’s five forces analysis, and market attractiveness index.

Factors like the increasing demand from the construction and packaging sector are driving the growth of the market. The features of EPS make it perfect for use as an insulator, and for decorative purposes. Further, EPS is used as a filling material in the building of roads. The perfect combination of mechanical and physical properties make it ideally suited for use within the construction industry. 

Moreover, EPS offers better insulation features than its alternatives, which is aiding the market growth. This advantage of EPS makes it suitable for places with high moisture. These qualities, which give EPS an edge over other insulators in the market, are also expected to increase its market share.

However, the easy availability of substitute products is negatively impacting market growth. Materials such as mushroom material, plantable packaging, and edible packing peanuts, in cycle cups, bamboo fiber eco bowl, EarthAware biodegradable packing materials, earth shell “paper” plates, and peat plastic can substitute EPS easily.
