Global Polystyrene Market Insights, Forecast to 2025

Polystyrene is a type of polymer with thermoplastic properties produced from the petroleum-derived monomer, styrene. In solid form, it is a colorless and rigid plastic, but it may also be returned to a liquid state by heating, and used again for molding or extrusion. It is used to produce many products for industrial and consumer use. In fact, its presence as a plastic in everyday life is second only to polyethylene.
For forecast, the global polystyrene industry would keep increasing with annual growth rate with 1~2%, We tend to believe this industry now is close to mature, and the demand increasing degree will show a smooth curve. The building and construction segment will have the strongest growth prospect over the next five years. Extruded polystyrene (XPS) plays a big role in the growth of this market. Demand for XPS insulation from the renovation and insulation segments is expected to remain strong in the coming years.
Global Polystyrene market size will increase to 23500 Million US$ by 2025, from 19100 Million US$ in 2018, at a CAGR of 2.6% during the forecast period. In this study, 2018 has been considered as the base year and 2019 to 2025 as the forecast period to estimate the market size for Polystyrene.
