Polystyrene Foam Manufacturing in the US

Foaming up

Downstream demand from the construction sector, food service establishments and food retailers and distributors will boost demand and revenue for polystyrene manufacturers over the next five years. Also, renewed spending from consumers will promote industry growth. However, environmental concerns will continue to rise, resulting in new legislation that threatens industry manufacturers and rising input costs may stifle overall growth during the period.

This industry produces a wide range of polystyrene foam products including expanded polystyrene (EPS) for food containers and cups, foam ice chests and other packaging and insulation goods. The industry's products are utilized by a wide range of downstream industries

in the construction, manufacturing and hospitality sectors.
