Extruded Polystyrene Insulation Materials Market Overview:
Global Extruded Polystyrene Insulation Materials Market was valued at $2,418 million in 2016, and is expected to reach $3,827 million by 2023, growing at a CAGR of 6.5% from 2017 to 2023. Extruded polystyrene (XPS) are polystyrene foams obtained through an extrusion process. XPS systems use air as an insulating material and form a closely packed structure, leading to their excellent moisture-resistant properties. The manufacturing process of XPS includes melting of polystyrene, which is then fed into an extruder along with special additives & blowing agents. Moreover, the efficiency of an insulation XPS system depends on its thickness and installation.
The global extruded polystyrene insulation materials market is driven by the growth in demand for energy-efficient buildings from the non-residential and residential segments of the construction industry, and rise in government infrastructure projects. However, certain environmental issues related to the use of global warming-causing toxic chemicals like fluorochlorohydrocarbons and presence of high number of substitutes are expected to hinder the market growth during the forecast period. Manufacturers are investing large capital to eliminate the use of these toxic chemicals and develop safer XPS systems. The introduction of high-quality, energy-efficient XPS systems and frequent product launches by market players to enhance their product portfolio provide various growth opportunities for market expansion.
