Expanded Polystyrene Market: Key Drivers, Trends and Challenges

Our researchers analyzed the data with 2023 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.

Key Expanded Polystyrene Market Driver

One of the key factors driving the expanded polystyrene market growth is the environmental benefits associated with expanded polystyrene. Even though, expanded polystyrene is non-biodegradable, its ease of recycling and composition, which includes a large amount of air and a limited amount of plastic, make it environment-friendly. In addition, the use of expanded polystyrene to package products is more sustainable than the use of plastic, wood, and cardboard. Therefore, consumers prefer expanded polystyrene.

Moreover, recyclability, reusability, and its ability to save energy are some of the key factors that make expanded polystyrene environment-friendly. Therefore, the environmental benefits associated with expanded polystyrene will increase its adoption by enterprises from industries such as retail, healthcare, and food and beverages. Hence, such factors drive the market growth during the forecast period.

Key Expanded Polystyrene Market Trends

A key factor shaping the expanded polystyrene market growth is the growth of the food delivery and takeaway market. The food delivery and takeaway market is growing at a rapid pace across the world. In addition, some factors that drive the growth of the market are rapid urbanization, hectic lifestyles and schedules of people, access to smartphones, and the increasing use of m-commerce.

Moreover, the number of online food orders is growing due to the advent of new online food delivery platforms. In addition, as most people across the world are habituated to the use of the Internet and mobile applications, they prefer ordering food through mobile applications and online portals. Furthermore,  food packaging materials, such as expanded polystyrene, are widely used for packaging and delivering different kinds of food, such as burgers, sandwiches, and bread.  Hence, such factors drive the market growth during the forecast period.

Key Expanded Polystyrene Market Challenge

The popularity of bioplastic packaging is one of the key challenges hindering the expanded polystyrene market growth. Bioplastics can be referred to as biodegradable plastics that are derived from renewable biomass sources, such as corn starch, vegetable fat and oil, straw, woodchip, and food waste. In addition, environmental awareness and sustainability are key areas of concern for customers, which is forcing packaging companies to adopt sustainable packaging.

Moreover, this is increasing the demand for bioplastic packaging. In addition, several governments have started initiatives to promote the use of bioplastics over hazardous polymer and plastic materials.  Furthermore, the fund aimed to support projects that utilize household food scrap to create environmentally friendly plastic bags and cups as well as smart labels. Hence, such factors are negatively impacting the market. Therefore, it is expected to hinder the market growth during the forecast period.
