Market Overview:
The global EPS beads market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% from 2018 to 2030. The growth in the market can be attributed to the increasing demand for EPS beads in building and construction, packaging, and other applications. The standard grade segment is expected to dominate the global EPS beads market during the forecast period. However, the flame retardant grade segment is projected to grow at a higher CAGR during the forecast period owing to its growing demand in end-use industries such as building and construction and packaging. North America accounted for majority of the share of global EPS beads market in 2017 and it is projected to maintain its dominance during the forecast period.
Product Definition:
Expanded polystyrene beads are small, round pellets made from polystyrene that have been expanded by the injection of a gas, such as steam or air. EPS beads are used as an insulating material in building and construction, and also in packaging and cushioning materials.
Standard Grade:
The standard grade of Expanded Polystyrene beads is a type of engineering polystyrene that has been processed to create uniformity in its external and internal characteristics. The process involved in creating this product includes removal of impurities, such as dust and sand, through filtration using vacuum or air stream. Further processing involves injection molding, extrusion blow molding or autoclave sterilization depending on the final shape required for the product.
Flame Retardant Grade:
Flame retardant grade is used in manufacturing of Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) beads. The product is widely used in construction and automotive industries for producing various components such as handles, feet, caps & closures, plugs & sockets, and others. It offers high impact resistance along with low glass transition temperature making it suitable to be used in applications that require extended heat resistance.
Application Insights:
The packaging segment led the global EPS beads market and accounted for more than 34.0% share of the total revenue in 2017. The product is widely used in various packaging applications such as food, medical, and electrical & electronics industries owing to several properties including high impact resistance and flexibility which help prevent damage during transportation & storage.
Building and construction was the second largest application segment accounting for a 26.9% share of the total demand in 2017 due to its excellent mechanical strength along with low prices compared to glass fiber reinforced plastic (GF/RF). It can be molded into different shapes easily without breaking while providing maximum protection against fire hazards as well as natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods etc., which makes it highly suitable for use in building structures or houses during emergencies or rescue operations when conventional materials fail due to their fragility nature.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific dominated the global market in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The region is projected to expand at a CAGR of XX% from 2018 to 2030 owing to increasing construction activities, especially in India, China, Indonesia, Vietnam and Malaysia. In addition, rising population coupled with rapid urbanization has led to an increase in housing needs which will further drive product demand during the forecast period.
Europe accounted for a significant share of revenue due to high acceptance among consumers regarding sustainability as well as aesthetic appeal associated with EPS beads products used during construction activities or for household applications such as flooring tiles or wall insulation panels.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand from the medical and pharmaceutical industries for use in drug delivery and diagnostics
- Growing popularity of beads as research tools in life science laboratories
- Increasing use of beads for water filtration and purification
- Development of new applications for EPS beads, such as insulation materials and composites
- Expansion of global production capacity to meet rising demand
