Building and Construction Expanded Polystyrene Market to Reach USD 15 Billion, With CAGR of 3.8% During the Forecast Period of 2025 to 2035

The Building and Construction Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) Market is witnessing robust growth as the construction sector increasingly prioritizes energy efficiency, sustainability, and cost-effective building solutions. Expanded polystyrene, widely known for its lightweight, insulating, and durable properties, has emerged as a preferred material in residential, commercial, and industrial construction projects. With the growing emphasis on green building and environmental compliance, EPS is becoming an integral part of modern construction practices.

Market Overview

Expanded polystyrene is a polymer foam material known for its low thermal conductivity, high strength-to-weight ratio, and versatility. In building and construction, EPS is commonly used for insulation boards, wall panels, roofing, flooring, and foundation systems. Its ability to provide thermal insulation, reduce energy consumption, and offer long-term durability makes it a valuable asset for both developers and homeowners. Moreover, EPS is recyclable and lightweight, contributing to lower transportation costs and reduced carbon footprint during construction.

The Building and Construction Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) market was valued at USD 9.9 billion in 2024. It is projected to grow from USD 10.3 billion in 2025 to USD 15 billion by 2035, registering a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 3.8% over the forecast period from 2025 to 2035.
