The construction industry has been witnessing rising usage of expanded polystyrene (EPS) for inroad foundations, flotation, cellular bricks, bridges, railway lines, public buildings, drainage, etc. in the recent years. The rising preference is mainly driven by its features such as lightweight, mechanical resistance, low thermal conductivity and low water absorption. Substantial demand from the construction industry will propel the polystyrene & EPS market by 2024. Drifting consumer preferences and pressing need for technologically-advanced products will boost the EPS market.
The polystyrene & EPS market will be subjected to some restraints in the forecast period. Fluctuating raw materials prices including benzene, styrene monomer, etc. will likely present significant challenge to industry participants. The industry will also bear a threat of disposal and negative scrap value. About 12,000 tons of EPS is disposed of to landfill each year, that takes 240,000 cubic meters of landfill space. According to EPA, 2.3 million tons of polystyrene end up in landfills out of every three million tons of produced in the U.S. The costs of recycling polystyrene were marked over USD 3,000 per ton by the California Department of Conservation.
