(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) The market presents opportunities in construction, packaging, and F&B industries due to its insulation properties and cost-efficiency. Growth is driven by increasing construction activities and demand for lightweight, durable materials, with potential expansion into various end-use industries worldwide.

Dublin, Oct. 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Expanded Polystyrene Market Report by Product (White, Grey, Black), End Use Industry (Building and Construction, Packaging, Automotive, and Others), and Region 2025-2033" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets's offering.

The global expanded polystyrene (EPS) market, valued at USD 11.1 billion in 2024, is projected to climb to USD 15.6 billion by 2033, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.65% from 2025 to 2033. EPS is widely valued for its low cost, lightweight, and high performance, making it a preferred choice over extruded foam (XPS) in insulation and construction applications. Its minimal water absorption and variety in densities and strengths enhance its utility across numerous sectors.

Thanks to its inert nature and pest-resistant properties, EPS finds extensive use in the construction industry. It serves as an insulated panel system for both residential and commercial building projects, including walls, roofs, and concrete floors. Furthermore, it acts as a void-forming fill material in civil engineering, playing a key role in road and railway structures, as well as in the construction of marinas and pontoons.

The shock-absorbing attributes of EPS contribute significantly to its uptake in various industries. It is widely utilized for the safe storage and transport of wines, chemicals, electronic devices, and pharmaceuticals. The food and beverage sector also capitalizes on EPS for preserving the freshness of perishables like seafood and produce. Expanding applications are noted in packaging, decoration, and the production of lifesaving equipment such as life jackets and buoys.
