Extensive Growth of Polystyrene Foam Market Data Survey Report 2020-2030

 


Polystyrene Foam: Introduction

  • Polystyrene is defined as a synthetic aromatic polymer manufactured from monomer styrene. It can also be defined as a plastic that is used in a wide range of applications for various functions. It is primarily employed in rigid items such as refrigerator crispers, printer cartridges, and coat hangers. Polystyrene foam is a derivative of polystyrene known as styrofoam or expanded polystyrene (EPS).
  • Polystyrene foam is used in protective packaging of appliances and products such as insulated disposable cups, meat trays, and panel insulation. It is generally 95% to 98% air. It is considered a good thermal insulator and is used in building insulation materials such as insulating concrete foams and structural insulated panel building systems. Polystyrene foam offers excellent damping properties; therefore, it is widely used in packaging of food and beverages, etc.

Key Drivers and Restraints of Global Polystyrene Foam Market

  • The polystyrene foam market has developed significantly in the recent years. This can be primarily ascribed to the increase in building and construction activities across the globe. Polystyrene foam acts as a good thermal insulator and plays an important role in addressing several issues associated with insulation in building construction such as insulating concrete foam. Rise in usage of polystyrene foam in building & construction and packaging industries is expected to propel the polystyrene foam market during the forecast period.
  • Increase in demand for protective packaging is anticipated to create significant opportunities for the polystyrene foam market. Polystyrene foam is used for packaging of appliances and food and beverages. Rise in demand for appliances and food and beverages is anticipated to boost the demand for polystyrene foam during the forecast period.

Polystyrene Foam: Type Segment

  • In terms of type, the global polystyrene foam market can be segmented into expandable polystyrene foam and extruded polystyrene foam. Both these foams produce finished goods with different performance properties. Extruded polystyrene foam is manufactured by the continuous extrusion process, which helps in the production of homogeneous closed cells. On the other hand, expandable polystyrene foam is manufactured by expanding spherical beads in a mold, using heat and pressure to fuse the beads together.
  • The expandable polystyrene segment is expected to account for significant share of the global polystyrene foam market during the forecast period. It is durable, strong, and light in weight. Furthermore, expandable polystyrene is less expensive than extruded polystyrene.
  • The extruded polystyrene foam segment is likely to expand at a rapid pace during the forecast period, due to the growth of the construction industry around the globe

Polystyrene Foam: Application Segment

  • In terms of application, the global polystyrene foam market can be segmented into building & construction, packaging, and others
  • The building & construction segment is estimated to expand at a rapid pace during the forecast period due to wide usage of polystyrene foam in the building & construction industry. Polystyrene foam is used in residential, commercial, institutional, and industrial building; and civil engineering applications including road, railway, and bridge infrastructure.
  • The packaging segment is likely to expand at a healthy CAGR during the forecast period, owing to the increase in usage of appliances across the globe

Covid-19 Impact on Polystyrene Foam Market

  • On January 30, 2020, the International Health Regulations Emergency Committee of the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak a public health emergency of international concern. Originating in China, the virus has spread to at least 213 countries and territories around the world.
  • Several governments and private sector businesses are operating at a limited capacity or have ceased operations completely due to recent events surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic
  • Manufacture of various consumer goods and other products across the globe has come to a halt due to the unavailability of raw materials, shortage of labor, etc. This is expected to hamper the polystyrene foam market.

Asia Pacific to Dominate Polystyrene Foam Market

  • In terms of region, the global polystyrene foam market can be divided into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa
  • North America dominated the polystyrene foam market in 2020. This trend is anticipated to continue during the forecast period. This can be ascribed to the higher production and consumption of polystyrene foam, especially in the U.S. However, the polystyrene foam market in Asia Pacific is anticipated to expand at a rapid pace owing to the increase in demand for polystyrene foam in emerging countries such as China and India.
