Polystyrene Market

Growing Prospect in the Automotive and Packaging Industries is driving the Expansion of the Polystyrene Market.

LUTON, BEDFORDSHIRE, UNITED KINGDOM, November 16, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The polystyrene market is expected to grow at 5.95 % CAGR from 2023 to 2029. It is expected to reach above USD 50.27 billion by 2029 from USD 29 billion in 2022.

Polystyrene is a versatile synthetic polymer that is widely used in various industries due to its cost-effectiveness, insulation properties, and ease of manufacturing. It exists in two main forms: solid (general purpose polystyrene or GPPS) and expanded (expanded polystyrene or EPS). The flexible synthetic polymer polystyrene has been used into numerous aspects of our daily life. It is a well-liked option for a variety of applications due to its lightweight and insulating qualities. Polystyrene is undeniably present, whether it be in insulation panels, throwaway food containers, or packaging materials. Expanded polystyrene (EPS) is one of the most widely used types of polystyrene. It is frequently utilised in the building sector as insulation. Excellent thermal insulation is provided by EPS foam boards and panels, which lowers energy use and helps to maintain cosy indoor temperatures.

Recent News:

April 19, 2023: INEOS Styrolution, the global leader in styrenics, has today announced that a range of styrenics based polymers are an effective and sustainable alternative for ceramics, compared to traditional resin-based applications. The styrenics based approach allows for recycling and there is no loss of the distinctive appearance of ceramics. In addition, energy consumption during production is significantly lower using a styrenics based solution than firing ceramics.

March 22, 2023: BASF introduced a new Ultramid Deep Gloss grade, optimized for highly glossy automotive interior parts, and applied for the first time to the garnish of Toyota‘s new Prius. The mold-in-color technology used to produce the new grade is more sustainable, as it improves the production efficiency of automotive parts since the solvent painting process is eliminated.

The Asia Pacific polystyrene market is expected 40% to grow significantly over the next years.
