Global XPS Insulation Production & Output 2018 Edition - The Rising Cost of MDI, and Therefore PU and PIR Foams, Has Greatly Assisted the Marketing of XPS - ResearchAndMarkets.com

The "Global XPS Insulation Production and Output 2018 Edition" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The growth of the Global Extruded Polystyrene industry has exceeded all expectations and has been more rapid in the last three years than in its initial 40 years. This has been due to a desire for insulation materials of greater structural strength and the use of insulation in a range of domestic and SIP applications.

The report finds:

• XPS is the fastest growing insulation sector worldwide
• The rising cost of MDI, and therefore PU and PIR foams, has greatly assisted the marketing of XPS
• New machinery suppliers have lowered the cost of equipment to manufacture XPS and enabled plants to be installed in smaller markets
• New regional and country markets have developed as local production has been undertaken
• Quality levels have improved significantly
• Operation/production costs have declined worldwide, thus reducing the cost of the material
