Polystyrene & Expandable Polystyrene
Market
Polystyrene & EPS are primarily used in thermal insulation of roofing, flooring and other industrial processes
due to their insulation properties. Other applications of polystyrene & EPS include its usage in petri dishes, CD
cases, plastic cutlery and disposable razors.
China dominated the global polystyrene & EPS market in 2013 due to high demand from packaging and
electrical & electronics industries. In terms of volume, the country accounted for 37.1% of the total polystyrene
& EPS market in 2013. Rising demand for polystyrene & EPS for packaging application in Rest of the World is
led by an increase in per capita disposable income and key global events Football World Cup 2014 and
Olympics 2016 in the region. Increasing demand for polystyrene & EPS from the thermal insulation industry in
Europe is projected to fuel market growth for polystyrene & EPS during the forecast period. The market for
polystyrene & EPS in Rest of Asia Pacific is expected to expand at the highest growth rate in the next few
years due to growth in packaging and consumer electronics industries in the region.

Polystyrene is a thermoplastic polymer, synthesized by polymerization of styrene monomer. Raw materials for styrene synthesis include ethylbenzene and benzene. Polystyrene melts when heated above its melting temperature and becomes rigid when allowed to cool. This property is used in the manufacture of different components using extrusion, molding and vacuum forming. Expandable polystyrene (EPS) is a type of polystyrene that is expanded with the help of air and fused together to form blocks. The quantity of beads used in blocks determines the density of blocks. Properties of EPS include rigidity, lightness in weight, excellent thermal insulation and relatively cheap. Other forms of polystyrene include extruded polystyrene (XPS), general purpose polystyrene (GPPS) and high impact polystyrene (HIPS).
