Global Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) Packaging Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.5% during the forecast period, to reach USD 3.2 billion by 2030 from USD 2.6 billion in 2018. The market is driven by the increasing demand for EPS packaging due to its low cost and high strength properties, which make it an ideal material for packaging applications such as food and beverage containers, cups, plates, trays and other disposable items.
The global EPS packaging market is segmented on the basis of type into flame retardant type and general type; on the basis of application into building & construction and packaging; and on the basis of region into North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific (APAC), Middle East & Africa (MEA). The building & construction segment accounted for over 50% share in 2018 owing to its wide usage in insulation materials such as roofing sheets or wall panels that are used in residential buildings or commercial buildings respectively. The packaging segment accounted for over 40% share in 2018 owing to its wide usage as a protective material that provides cushioning protection against shock or impact during transportation or storage of goods such as food products like meat products or vegetables etc, beverages like soft drinks etc, pharmaceuticals like medicines etc, electronics like laptops etc, furniture like tables etc, toys like dolls etc, cosmetics like lipsticks etc; also used as a protective layer between two layers of paperboard boxes that are used for packing purposes such as cereal boxes with cereal inside them; also used extensively in fast-food restaurants where it is used extensively for take-out containers which are made out of polystyrene foam board sheets with polystyrene foam board lids attached to them so that they can be closed tightly after taking out food from them without spilling any liquid content inside them while carrying them outside from these restaurants without spilling any liquid content inside these take-out containers while carrying these outside from these fast-food restaurants without spilling any liquid content inside these take-out containers while carrying these outside from these fast-food restaurants without spilling any liquid content inside these take-out containers while carrying those outside from those fast food restaurants without spilling any liquid content inside those take out containers while carrying those outside from those fast food restaurants.
Some Of The Growth Factors Of This Market:
- EPS is a lightweight, inexpensive material that can be easily molded into any shape.
- EPS is an excellent insulator and can be used to package frozen foods and other items that require protection from the cold.
- EPS packaging is recyclable, which makes it environmentally friendly and sustainable for future use.
- The production of EPS packaging creates less waste than other types of plastic packaging because it does not require additional materials such as metal or paper to produce the product.
- The production of EPS packaging also creates less air pollution than other types of plastic packaging because it does not release harmful chemicals into the atmosphere.
