Global Polystyrene Market Report 2023: Demand from Packaging, Automotive and Electronics Industries Fuels Growth - ResearchAndMarkets.com

The "Global Polystyrene Market Analysis: Plant Capacity, Production, Technology, Operating Efficiency, Demand & Supply, End-Use, Grade, Foreign Trade, Sales Channel, Regional Demand, Company Share, 2015-2030" database has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The global Polystyrene market stood at approximately 10 million tonnes in 2021 and is expected to grow at a steady CAGR of 3.79% during the forecast period until 2030.

Polystyrene is an artificial resin which appears to be a strong, stiff, and translucent. Styrene, a liquid hydrocarbon, serves as the monomer for the polymer polystyrene. Free-radical initiators are mainly used in bulk and suspension techniques to polymerize styrene, although solution and emulsion methods are also in application.

Polystyrene's interesting properties like light-weight nature and insulation properties are driving its application in multiple industries. Polystyrene is employed to manufacture expanded polystyrene (EPS). EPS displays high level of thermal conductivity, and its blocks are used in the construction sector for applications like concrete floor slabs and underfloor heating.

The global Polystyrene market industry driven by its unique properties. Polystyrene is water - resistant which drives its application in the packaging industry. Furthermore, this polymer can also blend with other polymers. Furthermore, its application to manufacture automotive components and electronic goods will most likely propel the market in the upcoming years. Its insulation and high strength drive its heavy usage in the construction industry, which further fuels the Polystyrene demand.

There is heavy usage of expanded polystyrene (EPS) for the building sector. Since it has a light and stiff foam structure that provides good thermal insulation and a high level of impact resistance, fueling the Polystyrene market. The global Polystyrene market is anticipated to reach approximately 18 million tonnes by 2030.

Based on grade, the Polystyrene market is segregated into High Impact Polystyrene (HIPS) and General purpose polystyrene (GPPS) grade. Among these, the former grade, i.e., HIPS is leading the market with a consumption of nearly 60% of global market in 2021. High Impact Polystyrene (HIPS) is a versatile material with high impact strength, easy to be printed on, and easy to be thermoformed. It finds its applications in cooktops, goods for consumers gadgets, television and audiovisual equipment parts, tapes, bicycle trailers, and appliance parts, gasoline tanks, circuit boards, and components for the automotive industry

The region with the biggest demand for Polystyrene worldwide is Asia Pacific region and held a market share of around 40% of the world's Polystyrene market in the year 2021. Polystyrene is widely employed in the construction sector. Due to rapid industrialization, the demand of EPS is anticipated to rise, resulting in market to expand by 2030. Although, the demand of Polystyrene in Europe and North America is anticipated to experience a sluggish growth in the forecast period. Furthermore, APAC is also the highest producer of Polystyrene, with China as the top producer among other Asian Countries.

Based on the end-user industry, the Polystyrene market is segmented into Packaging, Household appliances, Consumer electronics products, Building and construction, and Others. Among these, Packaging industry is leading segment, followed by Household appliances industry. Packaging industry accounted around 30% of the share of total Polystyrene demand in 2021. This industry is anticipated to maintain its position in the upcoming year owing to the growing demand of this plastic for food packaging coupled with growing population in the forecast period. Building and construction sector is also a flourishing sector

Significant companies for Global Polystyrene market are Total Petrochemicals, INEOS Styrolution, Styrolution, Jiangsu Laidun Baofu Plastifying, Zhenjiang Chi Mei Chemical, Shanghai Secco Petrochemical, Formosa Plastics, Versalis, Trinseo, Supreme Petrochem Limited, LG Chem, DIC Corporation, PS Japan, and Jiangsu Lyan Qingfeng Newmaterial.
