Research Summary
Polystyrene is a versatile and widely used synthetic polymer made from the monomer styrene. It belongs to the family of thermoplastic polymers and is known for its transparent or translucent appearance, lightweight nature, and good insulating properties. Polystyrene can exist in various forms, including solid (as in disposable foam products and packaging materials), as well as in expanded form (Expanded Polystyrene or EPS), commonly known as Styrofoam, which is used in packaging, insulation, and disposable food containers. Its rigid structure and ability to be molded into different shapes make it suitable for a range of applications, from packaging materials to consumer goods. However, its environmental impact, particularly in terms of non-biodegradability and concerns about waste management, has led to increased focus on developing more sustainable alternatives in certain applications.
The major global manufacturers of Polystyrene include INEOS Styrolution, Total Petrochemicals, Trinseo, Americas Styrenics, Sabic, Supreme Petrochem, PS Japan, Toyo Engineer, LG Chem, Formosa Chemicals, Sinopec, Chi Mei Corporation, CNPC, BASF-YPC Company, Astor Chemical, etc. The global players competition landscape in this report is divided into three tiers.
