"Foundation segment was the largest application of extruded polystyrene in 2022, in terms of value."
The foundation segment is the largest application in the extruded polystyrene market due to its versatile properties. Extruded polystyrene plays a critical role in providing thermal insulation and moisture resistance beneath building foundations. Extruded polystyrene insulation boards are placed below the concrete slab of a building, helping to reduce heat loss, prevent moisture intrusion, and enhance the structural stability of the foundation. This segment's significance is attributed to the ongoing emphasis on energy-efficient construction practices and the need to comply with building codes, where extruded polystyrene plays a vital role in ensuring improved energy performance and durability of buildings. It is widely used in various end-use industries, including residential, commercial, and others, making it the preferred choice for manufacturers and the construction industry seeking a balance between quality and sustainability.
"Residential segment is estimated to be the largest end-use industry of extruded polystyrene market in 2022, in terms of value."
The residential segment dominates the extruded polystyrene market due to many vital factors. The residential segment was indeed one of the largest end-use industries for extruded polystyrene due to its extensive applications in residential construction. Extruded polystyrene insulation finds wide use in residential buildings for insulating walls, floors, roofs, and basements. This is a favorably chosen material that contributes to energy efficiency, comfortable indoor conditions, and adherence to building codes because of its outstanding thermal insulating qualities, moisture resistance, and structural support. Extruded polystyrene is also becoming increasingly popular in the residential industry because of changing industry standards and regulatory pressure.
