簡介目錄

發泡聚苯乙烯 (EPS) 是生產最廣泛的苯乙烯基產品，是苯乙烯的第二大衍生物。它主要採用戊烷懸浮法生產，廣泛應用於隔熱、包裝、空調和泡沫產品等各種領域。建築業對隔熱板的需求是其最大的成長潛力。與其他形式的聚苯乙烯相比，EPS 的價格往往保持相對穩定，其波動與苯乙烯價格走勢密切相關。建築和包裝產業合計佔 EPS 市場總消費量的 80% 以上。

全球需求和供應趨勢

2024年，全球EPS產能將超過12,000千噸，較2016年增加700千噸以上。展望2032年，預計產能將以每年平均100千噸的速度成長，主要得益於亞洲、中東和非洲地區的產能擴張。中國是EPS產能最大的市場，超過6,500千噸，其次是西歐。

2021年全球EPS需求量估計約820萬噸，過去五年年平均成長率為2%。這一成長主要得益於建築、包裝和消費品產業需求的成長。預計市場將以更快的速度擴張，到2032年，預計年均成長率將達到3.5%。

由於EPS材料優異的隔熱性能、輕質結構和耐用性，建築業佔全球EPS需求的55%以上。 EPS廣泛用於建築牆體、屋頂和冷藏設施，在提高建築的熱效率和結構性能方面發揮著至關重要的作用。在包裝領域，EPS因其減震和隔熱性能而備受推崇。它被廣泛用於在運輸過程中保護家用電器、醫療設備、食品飲料、電子產品和其他易碎物品。 2021年，全球包裝應用的EPS需求估計約為200萬噸，預計到2032年將超過275萬噸，年複合成長率(CAGR)為4%。

除了建築和包裝，EPS 還用於工業應用，例如模具、原型設計和展示產品。電氣和電子行業受益於 EPS 卓越的絕緣性能，而汽車行業則使用 EPS 生產可提高燃油效率的輕量化部件。總體而言，建築業仍然是最大、最重要的終端應用領域，尤其是在住宅和商業隔熱項目中，節能是重中之重。

區域需求分析

亞太地區仍是最大的EPS市場，約佔全球消費量的55-60%，其次是西歐。該地區的主要國家和地區包括中國大陸、日本、韓國和台灣。光是中國大陸就消耗了該地區約80%的EPS供應，佔全球EPS需求的44%。中國主要的成長動力來自建築、包裝以及電氣和電子產業，這些產業合計佔中國EPS消費量的90%以上。隨著該地區消費者購買力和生活水準的持續提高，預計EPS需求將進一步成長。

較低的投資和營運成本促使許多生產商在中國建立製造工廠，目前中國約佔全球EPS產能的45%。儘管中國建築業近期有所放緩，但包裝業對EPS的需求不斷成長，有助於抵消這一下滑。隨著人口成長和新興市場經濟的持續發展，EPS需求預計將維持上升趨勢。整體而言，預計到2032年，全球EPS市場將以3-4%的年複合成長率(CAGR)成長。

主要製造商

亞太地區領先的 EPS 生產商包括 LG 化學、韓國錦湖石油化學株式會社 (KKPC)、SH 化學有限公司、Supreme 石油化學、DIC 株式會社、東洋苯乙烯有限公司、鐘化株式會社、江蘇新河橋化工有限公司、江米瀪家仙新材料有限公司、鐘化株式會社、江蘇新河橋化工有限公司、江美奇河集團和新材料有限公司、Loyal 新材料有限公司、明迪、美奇和新材料有限公司。 2021 年之前，LG 聚合物和 Supreme 石油化學是印度主要的 EPS 生產商。然而，在 2020 年發生苯乙烯氣體洩漏事件後，LG 聚合物停止營運，Supreme 石油化學成為印度主要的 EPS 製造商。

EPS市場的最新發展

2024年11月，Alpek宣布計劃於2025年1月前停止其位於賓州莫納卡工廠的EPS生產。此舉將使該公司的EPS總產能從其全球約50萬噸的總產能減少12.3萬噸。 2022年，Epsilyte宣布計劃將其位於伊利諾州的工廠的產能擴大1.1萬噸，預計於2023年底完成。該公司還啟動了一項工程研究，計劃進一步擴大產能至10萬噸。 2022年12月，Supreme Petrochem完成了位於欽奈馬納里工廠的產能升級，將EPS產量從2.4萬噸提升至3.3萬噸。 2022年3月，Supreme Petrochem也宣布計畫擴建位於馬哈拉施特拉邦的Nagothane工廠，目標是2024年底將產能從7萬噸提高到10萬噸。一旦竣工，該公司的EPS總產能預計將達到約13萬噸。

市場驅動力：建築業需求不斷成長

EPS 市場的主要驅動力之一是建築業對節能且經濟的隔熱材料的需求不斷成長。隨著全球節能意識的不斷增強以及建築法規的日益嚴格，EPS 已成為可靠的隔熱解決方案。其易於安裝、成本低廉且性能持久，使其成為住宅和商業建築項目的首選材料。 EPS 的輕質特性降低了運輸成本和碳足跡，進一步提升了其吸引力。新興經濟體的城市化和可支配收入的不斷成長也刺激了對依賴 EPS 包裝的消費品、電子產品和家用電器的需求。製造流程的進步以及對永續性的日益關注（包括回收計劃），正在支持 EPS 作為一種用途廣泛且環保的材料被廣泛採用。這些因素共同推動著全球 EPS 市場的穩定成長。

簡介目錄

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.
