The demand for the product is further expected to grow at a CAGR of 1.9% between 2021 and 2026 to reach a volume of 20.8 million metric tons by 2026. The major supply markets include North America, the European Union, and the Asia Pacific region. The polystyrene market is significantly supported by the construction as well as the electronics industry.
The Asia Pacific region is a major regional polystyrene market. Currently, the Asia Pacific region contributes significantly to the total trade market of the material. While the import and export of high impact polystyrene (HIPS) and general-purpose polystyrene (GPPS) is balanced in the region, the Asia Pacific is a net exporter of expanded polystyrene (EPS) resin. The global production capacity for polystyrene, specifically high impact polystyrene, and GPPS is estimated to be about 14 million metric tons, with Asia accounting for about half of the total capacity. The global production capacity for expanded polystyrene (EPS) is estimated to be around 12 million metric tons, with the Asia Pacific accounting for about three-fourth of the total global capacity. The consumers in North America are expected to look to the Asia Pacific region to cater to their future requirements. China is one of the largest importers of HIPS and GPPS because of the increasing application of the substance in the consumer electronics industry.
The market for EPS is supported by the firm demand from the Asian market, which is expected to grow further in the coming years, while mature markets, like Europe and North America, are expected to grow slower than Asia. The United States is one of the net importers of high impact polystyrene (HIPS), general-purpose polystyrene (GPPS) and expanded polystyrene (EPS). With the rising demand for expanded polystyrene, Europe might depend on imports from regions like Korea and India. Turkey is the largest export market within Europe, accounting for nearly half of the total exports in Europe. The expanded polystyrene industry has been among the fastest-growing polystyrene markets, owing to the high demand from the construction sector. The industry is majorly impacted by the construction industry, which is growing at a rapid rate. The construction sector in the Asia Pacific region is likely to develop faster as compared to Europe and North America, thus, driving the demand for polystyrene within the sector.
Properties and Applications
Polystyrene is a flexible plastic used in the production of a wide range of consumer products. It is often used as a rigid, solid plastic in items requiring clarity such as food packaging and laboratory products. Polystyrene is used to produce appliances, computers, automotive parts, toys, gardening pots and equipment, and more when mixed with various colours, chemicals, or other plastics.

Market Analysis
The polystyrene market is significantly driven by downstream users like the construction industry and electronics industry. The increasing application of expanded polystyrene for insulation and construction purposes is propelling the polystyrene market growth further. The construction industry is rapidly growing and is positively affecting the polystyrene industry. The expanded polystyrene market has been one of the fastest-growing styrene markets, due to high demand from the infrastructure and construction sector.
The rising use of high impact polystyrene and general-purpose polystyrene in consumer electronic devices is supporting the growth of the industry. The high impact polystyrene and general-purpose polystyrene market are supported by the demand from the Asian market. The segment is also growing due to its extensive use for insulation purposes as it has to compete only with cotton wool in this segment. The consumer electronics sector has a consumption rate of around 20% of the material and is aided by the electric and electronic appliances market.
