Polystyrene (PS) market - Segmentation assessment
Segment overview
Technavio has segmented the market based on type (expanded polystyrene (EPS), high impact polystyrene (HIPS), and general purpose polystyrene (GPPS)) and end-user (packaging, electronics, construction, and others).

• The EPS segment will account for a significant share of the market growth during the forecast period. The use of EPS in the packaging industry has increased due to the rising awareness about its advantages, such as high tensile strength, biocompatibility, and durability. Rapid industrialization and urbanization are driving the growth of the EPS segment globally. The growth of this segment is also driven by changes in end-users' preference from rigid plastic packaging to flexible and lightweight packaging. In addition, emerging trends such as the use of recyclable packaging products will further fuel the growth of the EPS segment during the forecast period.

Geography Overview
Based on geography, the global polystyrene (PS) market is segmented into APAC, North America, Europe, South America, and Middle East and Africa. The report provides actionable insights and estimates the contribution of all regions to the growth of the global polystyrene (PS) market.

• APAC is estimated to account for 52% of the growth of the global market during the forecast period. The market in APAC is growing at a fast pace owing to the rapid growth of the e-commerce, fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG), household appliances, and personal care industries. The e-commerce industry, especially in countries such as China and India, is growing rapidly due to the rising population in the region. This, in turn, is increasing the overall demand for goods through online distribution channels. The rise in counterfeiting in the e-commerce industry in countries such as China and India is also enhancing the demand for PS.

Leading trends influencing the market 

• The lack of awareness about eco-friendly products is a leading trend in the market.

• The growing concerns about sustainability have made consumers aware of eco-friendly products.

• The use of PS made from renewable natural resources reduces the demand for non-renewable fossil fuels and lowers the production of greenhouse gases.

• Materials made from bio-based foam are convenient, environmentally friendly, and non-toxic.

• These products can be easily recycled and decomposed. Such factors are expected to support the growth of the global PS market during the forecast period.

Major challenges hindering the market growth

• Fluctuating crude oil prices are challenging the market growth.

• The production of PS requires oil and gas-based raw materials.

• However, fluctuations in the price of crude oil affect the prices of such raw materials, which, in turn, impacts the price of PS.

• Raw material costs vary for several factors, such as availability and price structure.

• Various regions have different pricing structures based on exports and imports, which causes changes in costs in different regionals globally.

• Therefore, instability in raw material prices affects the profit margins of manufacturers and hinders the PS market growth.
