The rising demand for the product from the construction and packaging sectors in the U.S. is expected to drive the market over the forecast period. The U.S. packaging industry has been experiencing positive demand across various end-user sectors such as in consumer goods, retail, food, and pharmaceuticals in the country. 


The rising demand is attributed to high levels of urbanization and increasing penetration of e-commerce, and the packaged and processed food market in the country. Moreover, the outbreak of COVID-19 has further catalyzed the demand for online shopping and the packaged and processed food owing to several restrictions on the movement and social distancing measures imposed by the government, which, in turn, is expected to boost the demand for expanded polystyrene in the coming years. 


The construction sector in the U.S. is expanding at a significant rate owing to positive market fundamentals for commercial real estate and a strong economy along with rising state and federal funding for institutional buildings and public works.
