Polystyrene is a thermoplastic polymer made from the styrene monomer. Benzene and ethyl benzene are the key raw materials used to form styrene. Polystyrene is available as a solid as well as foam. Polystyrene is clear, hard, and rather brittle. Polystyrene is a cheaper resin available in the market. Polystyrene is a commodity resin as the scale of its production being several billion kilograms per year. Polystyrene is transparent; however, it can be colored with colorants. Polystyrene and expanded polystyrene are widely used in host of applications in different industries including, building & construction, electrical & electronics, packaging, etc. Polystyrene (PS) is mainly used for producing disposable plastic cutlery and dinnerware, etc. Polystyrene foams are good thermal insulators and are therefore often used as building insulation materials, such as in insulating concrete forms and structural insulated panel building systems. Expanded polystyrene (EPS) is a rigid and tough, closed-cell foam. It is usually white and made of pre-expanded polystyrene beads. EPS is used for many applications e.g. trays, plates, bowls and fish boxes.

Polystyrene and expanded polystyrene market is mainly driven by strong demand from packaging industry. Packaging industry in emerging economies such as China, India, Brazil, South Africa, etc. is growing at a rapid pace. Increasing demand for consumer goods in these countries has been resulted into rise in demand for packaging materials. Moreover, strong growth of food & beverages and pharmaceutical industry in emerging economies is expected to further trigger the demand for packaging industry. Secondly, growth of electronics and construction industry across the world is another major driving factor for the growth of polystyrene and expanded polystyrene market. However, environmental concern, fluctuating prices of raw materials and substitute materials are expected to present significant challenge to industry participants. This is expected to affect the growth of this industry in the years to come. Recycling of polystyrene is expected to open new growth window for the industry participants.
