Polystyrene Foams Market Dynamics
Drivers: Stringent regulations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions
In March 2007, the European Heads of State agreed to a binding and unilateral GHG emission, which involves a significant reduction of greenhouse emissions. This agreement becomes a legal requirement in the European Union (EU) with plans to reduce GHG emissions by 40% by 2030. Therefore, the ongoing trend of reducing GHGs, which is followed by most of the countries, is increasing the demand for building thermal insulation.
Restraints: Volatility in raw material prices
Styrene prices are dependent on its raw materials, and benzene as a raw material substantially impacts styrene and polystyrene foam prices. R&D to improve the production process of styrene is a major trend in the developed market due to fluctuations in crude oil and raw material prices. Major styrene producers such as Royal Dutch Shell (Netherlands), The Dow Chemical Company (US), and LyondellBasell Industries N.V. (Netherlands) have begun investing in research to reduce investment and cut operating costs to improve their margins. As benzene prices are somewhat directly related to crude oil prices, major fluctuation can result in uncertain losses or consequences. As polystyrene foam prices are dependent on styrene prices and their raw materials, variations in prices can impact the overall profitability of manufacturers.
Opportunities: Polystyrene products can be recycled
EPS used in insulation and packaging is non-toxic and inert and is made without chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). It has less impact on the environment than what other competitive materials have. However, it is almost indestructible, and the discarded EPS does not biodegrade for hundreds of years. It is also resistant to photolysis. Previously, EPS waste was dumped in landfills, but this trend is now changing, and post-consumer and post-commercial EPS recycling has increased.
Challenges: Growing prenference for molded pulp packaging
Historically, EPS had been a popular choice in the packaging industry for protecting products during distribution. However, the volatile oil prices and a growing trend toward the use of bio-based and environmentally friendly products have led to a marked surge in molded pulp packaging. In addition, since molded pulp can be easily nested, the end users have observed a decrease in the amount of space and an increase in the density of parts. This has resulted in a requirement of fewer vehicles that can transport more products.
White EPS Foam segment accounted for the fastest growing segment of polysyrene foams market
White EPS foam segment is the fastest-growing product type in the polystyrene foam market. It is the largest product type and is projected to grow at a higher rate during the forecast period. This growth is attributed to the high consumption of white EPS in the building & construction industry because white EPS reflects the sun better than grey, and therefore, its surface does not get as greasy in the heat of the sun. This means it is often not necessary to rasp the white EPS, saving several hours of work for an average installation. In Asia Pacific, where the building & construction industry is growing, there is high demand for white EPS.

Asia Pacific is the fastest-growing polystyrene foam market.
Asia Pacific has emerged as the leading consumer and producer of EPS foam due to the increasing demand from the domestic front and rising income levels. The easy availability of low-cost labor and economical & accessible raw materials are increasing the production of EPS foam in the region, thereby driving foreign investments. Asia Pacific is also the largest and the fastest-growing EPS foams market. The government proposals to improve public infrastructure and rising cash-intensive non-residential construction are positively impacting the market growth. The demand in Asia Pacific will further increase in the next five years due to several on-going and upcoming building & construction projects in the developing countries. Strong growth mainly in China, India, and Southeast Asian countries due to the increase in purchasing power parity and demand from the end-use industries such as building & construction and packaging is driving the EPS foams market in Asia Pacific. Currently, EPS foam products from North America and Europe are appreciated for their high quality, and they have significant brand recognition in comparison to several products offered by players in Asia Pacific. However, the manufacturers in these regions face tough competition from players in Asia Pacific, in terms of cost which is an important factor for end customers. These factors make Asia Pacific an attractive market for investment.

Recent Developments
- In March 2021, Trinseo (Pennsylvania, US) and BASF SE (Ludwigshafen, Germany) have jointly announced their plan to expand their businesses with the production of styrene based on circular feedstock. The enhanced collaboration between them aims to increase efforts by both companies in the development and management of styrene featuring an improved environmental profile.
- Trinseo, (a global materials solutions provider and manufacturer of plastics, latex binders, and synthetic rubber) has recently been procuring first supplies of the synthetic chemical styrene based on circular feedstock from BASF for use in its solution-styrene butadiene rubber (S-SBR) and polystyrene (PS) products. Trinseo supplies S-SBR to major tire manufacturers while its PS products are used in applications such as food packaging and appliances, and the first few customers have already processed the material.
- In July 2016, The company developed a new welding technology for thick insulation foams. This technology can be used to combine a variety of insulation materials. With the help of this technology, BASF can produce customized insulation products to cater to a broad range of customers.
