Polystyrene
Market Overview
Global Polystyrene Market is poised to report 5.64 % year-on-year growth in 2019, driven strong demand for
polystyrene from consumer electronics, packaging and construction sectors owing to its hardness and flexibility nature.
Ban on polystyrene recycling in some countries is expected to restrain the global polystyrene market growth rate.
Polystyrene is a petro based synthetic aromatic hydrocarbon polymer present in the form of hard and solid plastic
used in both the industrial and household applications. The polystyrene is inexpensive and lightweight material finds
application in various industries. The demand for the polystyrene depends on the government regulations and
increasing population which tends to the steady growth in the global polystyrene market.
Light weighted properties and low cost are driving the polystyrene market
Light weight and inexpensive properties has resulted the polystyrene to cater its applications as the raw material for
the production of various products. The polystyrene finds the applications in several products such as production of
cup for holding hot and cold beverages to packaging of electrical and electronics. The recycling of the polystyrene
has become the key opportunity to the manufacturers due its low cost efficiency.
The rubber industries are using the polystyrene for the production of rubber and plastic, high production cost of
substitutes, and growth of the plastic & rubber industries. The awareness regarding negativity about the negative
impacts of polystyrene among the consumers have become a threat.
Based on form type, polystyrene is segmented into foams, films & sheets, injection moulding and others.
