2018-2034年全球发泡聚苯乙烯(EPS)市场需求及预测分析Global Expanded Polystyrene(EPS) Market Demand & Forecast Analysis, 2018-2034 |
发泡聚苯乙烯 (EPS) 是生产最广泛的苯乙烯基产品,是苯乙烯的第二大衍生物。它主要采用戊烷悬浮法生产,广泛应用于隔热、包装、空调和泡沫产品等各种领域。建筑业对隔热板的需求是其最大的成长潜力。与其他形式的聚苯乙烯相比,EPS 的价格往往保持相对稳定,其波动与苯乙烯价格走势密切相关。建筑和包装产业合计占 EPS 市场总消费量的 80% 以上。
全球需求和供应趋势
2024年,全球EPS产能将超过12,000千吨,较2016年增加700千吨以上。展望2032年,预计产能将以每年平均100千吨的速度成长,主要得益于亚洲、中东和非洲地区的产能扩张。中国是EPS产能最大的市场,超过6,500千吨,其次是西欧。
2021年全球EPS需求量估计约820万吨,过去五年年平均成长率为2%。这一成长主要得益于建筑、包装和消费品产业需求的成长。预计市场将以更快的速度扩张,到2032年,预计年均成长率将达到3.5%。
由于EPS材料优异的隔热性能、轻质结构和耐用性,建筑业占全球EPS需求的55%以上。 EPS广泛用于建筑墙体、屋顶和冷藏设施,在提高建筑的热效率和结构性能方面发挥着至关重要的作用。在包装领域,EPS因其减震和隔热性能而备受推崇。它被广泛用于在运输过程中保护家用电器、医疗设备、食品饮料、电子产品和其他易碎物品。 2021年,全球包装应用的EPS需求估计约为200万吨,预计到2032年将超过275万吨,年复合成长率(CAGR)为4%。
除了建筑和包装,EPS 还用于工业应用,例如模具、原型设计和展示产品。电气和电子行业受益于 EPS 卓越的绝缘性能,而汽车行业则使用 EPS 生产可提高燃油效率的轻量化部件。总体而言,建筑业仍然是最大、最重要的终端应用领域,尤其是在住宅和商业隔热项目中,节能是重中之重。
区域需求分析
亚太地区仍是最大的EPS市场,约占全球消费量的55-60%,其次是西欧。该地区的主要国家和地区包括中国大陆、日本、韩国和台湾。光是中国大陆就消耗了该地区约80%的EPS供应,占全球EPS需求的44%。中国主要的成长动力来自建筑、包装以及电气和电子产业,这些产业合计占中国EPS消费量的90%以上。随着该地区消费者购买力和生活水平的持续提高,预计EPS需求将进一步增长。
较低的投资和营运成本促使许多生产商在中国建立製造工厂,目前中国约占全球EPS产能的45%。儘管中国建筑业近期有所放缓,但包装业对EPS的需求不断增长,有助于抵消这一下滑。随着人口成长和新兴市场经济的持续发展,EPS需求预计将维持上升趋势。整体而言,预计到2032年,全球EPS市场将以3-4%的年复合成长率(CAGR)成长。

Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) is the most widely produced styrene-based products, ranking as the second-largest derivative of styrene. It is manufactured primarily through the suspension process using pentane, EPS is used in various applications including thermal insulation, packaging, air conditioning, and foam products. The strongest growth potential lies in the demand for thermal insulation boards in the construction industry. Compared to other forms of polystyrene, EPS prices tend to remain relatively stable, with fluctuations closely tied to styrene price movements. Combined, the construction and packaging sectors contribute to over 80% of total EPS market consumption.
Global Demand and Supply Trends
In 2024, global EPS production capacity exceeded more than 12,000 kilotons, representing an increase of over 700 kilotons since 2016. Looking ahead to 2032, capacity is projected to grow by an average of 100 kilotons annually, driven primarily by expansions in Asia and the Middle East & Africa. China leads the market with the largest EPS production capacity, surpassing 6,500 kilotons, followed by Western Europe.
Global EPS demand was estimated at around 8,200 kilotons in 2021, growing at an average annual rate of 2% over the previous five years. This growth has been largely driven by increasing demand from the construction, packaging, and consumer goods sectors. The market is expected to expand at a faster pace, with a projected average annual growth rate of 3.5% through 2032.
The construction industry accounts for more than 55% of global EPS demand, owing to the material's excellent insulation properties, lightweight structure, and durability. EPS is widely used in building walls, roofs, and cold storage facilities, playing a crucial role in improving the thermal efficiency and structural performance of buildings. In the packaging sector, EPS is highly valued for its shock-absorbing and insulating qualities. It is extensively used to protect home appliances, medical equipment, food and beverages, electronics, and other fragile items during transportation. In 2021, global EPS demand for packaging applications was estimated at approximately 2,000 kilotons and is expected to exceed 2,750 kilotons by 2032, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4%.
Besides construction and packaging, EPS is also utilized in industrial applications such as molding, prototyping, and display products. The electrical and electronics industry benefits from EPS's superior insulation properties, while the automotive sector uses EPS to produce lightweight components that improve fuel efficiency. Overall, the construction industry remains the largest and most vital end-use segment, particularly for residential and commercial insulation projects where energy conservation is a top priority.
Regional Demand Analysis
The Asia-Pacific region remains the largest market for EPS, accounting for an estimated 55-60% of global consumption, followed by Western Europe. Key countries in this region include China, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. China alone consumes around 80% of the regional EPS supply and represents 44% of global EPS demand. The primary growth drivers in China are the construction, packaging, and electrical and electronics sectors, which together account for more than 90% of the country's EPS consumption. As consumer purchasing power and living standards continue to improve across the region, EPS demand is expected to rise further.
Lower investment and operational costs have encouraged many producers to establish manufacturing plants in China, which now holds approximately 45% of the world's EPS production capacity. Although China's construction sector has recently slowed, rising demand for EPS in packaging has helped offset this decline. With growing populations and ongoing economic development in emerging markets, EPS demand is expected to maintain its upward trajectory. Overall, the global EPS market is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3-4% through 2032.
Key Manufacturers
Leading EPS producers in the Asia-Pacific region include LG Chemical, Korea Kumho Petrochemical Co Ltd (KKPC), SH Chemical Ltd, Supreme Petrochem, DIC Corporation, Toyo Styrene Co. Ltd, Kaneka Corp, Jiangsu Xinheqiao Chemical Co. Ltd, Jiangyin Nijiaxianj New Material, Loyal Group, Ming Dih Group, Taita Chemical, and Chi Mei. Prior to 2021, LG Polymers and Supreme Petrochem were the primary EPS producers in India. However, following a styrene gas leak incident in 2020, LG Polymers ceased operations, leaving Supreme Petrochem as the dominant EPS manufacturer in the country.
Recent Developments in the EPS Market
In November 2024, Alpek announced its plan to stop EPS production at its Monaca, Pennsylvania facility by January 2025. This move will reduce the company's overall EPS capacity by 123 kilo tons, from its global total of approximately 500 kilo tons. In 2022, Epsilyte declared plans to expand production at its Illinois facility by 11 kilo tons, with completion expected by the end of 2023. The company also initiated an engineering study for a potential further expansion of up to 100 kilo tons. In December 2022, Supreme Petrochem completed a capacity upgrade at its Manali plant in Chennai, increasing EPS output from 24 kilo tons to 33 kilo tons. In March 2022, Supreme Petrochem also announced a planned expansion of its Nagothane facility in Maharashtra, aiming to increase capacity from 70 kilo tons to 100 kilo tons by the end of 2024. Once completed, the company's total EPS capacity is expected to reach approximately 130 kilo tons.
Market Driver: Rising demand from the construction industry
One of the primary drivers for the EPS market is the increasing demand for energy-efficient and cost-effective insulation materials in the construction industry. With growing awareness around energy conservation and stringent building regulations across the globe, EPS has emerged as a reliable solution for thermal insulation. Its ease of installation, low cost, and long-lasting performance make it a preferred material in both residential and commercial construction projects. The lightweight nature of EPS reduces transportation costs and carbon footprint, further boosting its appeal. Urbanization and rising disposable incomes in emerging economies are also fueling the demand for consumer goods, electronics, and appliances that rely on EPS packaging. The advancements in manufacturing processes and increased focus on sustainability, including recycling initiatives, are supporting the adoption of EPS as a versatile and environmentally friendly material. Together, these factors are propelling steady growth in the global EPS market.
