Opportunity: Thriving Building & Construction Sector in Asia Pacific
Expanded polystyrene (EPS) offers high-performance and energy-efficient thermal insulation and is reasonably priced. Therefore, it is extensively utilized in construction, including as flooring insulation in residential, commercial, and industrial structures. Developing countries, including India and Thailand, are investing significantly in infrastructure development for economic growth. The rising population in these countries has also proliferated the demand for residential buildings, which is anticipated to boost the demand for expanded polystyrene (EPS) in the Asia Pacific region during the forecast period.
Impact of Escalating Geopolitical Tensions on Asia Pacific Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) Market
The escalating geopolitical tensions disrupted the growth of the Asia Pacific Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) Market. For instance, EPS is made of solid polystyrene beads that are dissolved in pentane, an expansion gas, and polymerized from styrene monomer. Russia is a major producer and exporter of natural gas and petroleum products, including pentane gas. However, the supply of pentane was disrupted due to the emergence of Russia’s military operations in Ukraine and sanctions imposed by countries, such as Japan. This may result in a shortage of raw materials for the production of EPS, negatively impacting the growth of Asia Pacific expanded polystyrene (EPS) market.
