MARKET OUTLOOK
The expanded polystyrene (EPS) market in Latin America has been projected to depict growth in terms of revenue and expand with a CAGR of 4.40% in revenue and 3.74% in volume during the forecast years 2019-2028, according to this report.Brazil, Mexico, and Rest of Latin America together shape the market in this region.
In Latin America, the heating and cooling of buildings are responsible for the majority of total energy consumption. Thus, in the coming few years, the demand for insulation materials, for both commercial and residential purposes, is expected to rise. This is also expected to happen because of the rise in energy prices and regulations by the government to reduce GHG emissions. Owing to these factors, the demand for expanded polystyrene is also expected to increase significantly in the coming years.
EPS-based insulating materials can decrease energy loss in buildings as well as lower the amount of energy needed to maintain a comfortable living environment. In addition, the presence of large oil corporations in the region signifies an increased production of EPS here. The growth in the packaging and construction industries is driving the market growth in Latin America.
The Government of Brazil aims to enhance the sustainability of the tourism sector, laying a special emphasis on making the country a medical and health tourism hub. In January 2020, around 9000 hotel rooms were under construction in the country, making Brazil a leader in the construction of lodging facilities in the Central and South American region. These factors are expected to boost the demand for EPS, and thereby fuel the market growth in Latin America.
