Various factors are propelling the polystyrene market growth. These factors, in accordance with the MRFR report, include continuously advancing technology, relatively inexpensive in nature, decreasing price of products, urbanization, population growth, increasing middle class, change in household structures, high thermal resistance that makes it ideal to hold as well as carry hot beverages, easy moldability, and growing demand for insulation materials from packaging and construction industries.
On the contrary, preference for organic products due to growing awareness about the negative effects of polystyrene, fluctuating cost of raw materials, disposable problems associated to this material, negative scrap value, and availability of high-performing substitutes such as bio-plastics, PET, PLA, polypropylene, and polyethylene are factors that may deter the polystyrene market growth over the forecast period.
