Description

The global XPS Polystyrene Foaming Agent market size is predicted to grow from US$ 418 million in 2025 to US$ 555 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.2% from 2026 to 2032.

XPS Polystyrene Foaming Agent is a gas or liquid added during the manufacturing process of XPS extruded polystyrene foam boards. It causes molten polystyrene to foam, forming a rigid foam material with closed cells, high strength, and excellent thermal insulation and moisture resistance properties. It is mainly used for building insulation (such as roofs, foundations, and exterior walls).Upstream materials include various physical/chemical gases, such as carbon dioxide, alcohol, butane, dimethyl ether (DME), and new generation low-GWP fluorides.Global sales in 2025 are projected to be approximately 106,100 tons, with an average market price of approximately US$4,026 per ton. The industry's gross profit margin is in the range of 10%–25%.

Europe has set a phase-out deadline for HFC blowing agents with a GWP ≥ 150 in XPS (and is further moving towards a comprehensive tightening of regulations on fluorinated greenhouse gas foams), effectively eliminating growth opportunities for high-GWP options in the mainstream market. This has directly driven the entire industry chain to accelerate its transition to green alternative technologies. HFO/HCFO (such as HFO-1234ze and HCFO-1233zd) and combinations of CO₂/hydrocarbons will become the main alternative solutions.

The industry currently faces challenges from technological substitution and cost pressures. While environmentally friendly alternative technologies such as carbon dioxide (CO₂), ethanol, and hydrofluoroolefins (HFOs) are technically feasible, different alternatives vary in key performance characteristics such as thermal conductivity, density, and flame retardancy of foam boards, and may involve production line modifications and higher raw material costs.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
