Extruded Polystyrene Market Summary
The global extruded polystyrene market size was estimated at USD 6.81 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 11.25 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 5.8% from 2025 to 2033. Robust growth in cold chain logistics is boosting demand for XPS panels as they offer reliable thermal insulation for refrigerated storage and transport.
The increasing popularity of do-it-yourself (DIY) home improvement projects is driving sales of user-friendly XPS boards for efficient insulation upgrades. The extruded polystyrene market is experiencing sustained expansion, driven by its growing adoption in residential and commercial construction projects. Demand is particularly strong for high-performance insulation solutions that reduce energy consumption and support green building certifications.
Leading manufacturers are investing in advanced production techniques to enhance board rigidity and thermal stability while optimizing costs. This focus on product differentiation is fostering a shift toward premium extruded polystyrene (XPS) solutions across mature and emerging markets alike.
