Polystyrene is a versatile plastic that belongs to a group of plastics called thermoplastic. It is a hard and solid plastic, and is mostly preferred in food packaging and laboratory ware. It is a vinyl polymer, with a long hydrocarbon chain structure, wherein a phenyl group is attached to every other carbon atom. The global polystyrene market is experiencing a steady growth over the last few years, mainly due to the ever increasing global population. One of the major factors propelling the growth of the polystyrene market is that polystyrene is relatively inexpensive in nature.

The polystyrene market is mainly driven by the increasing rate of industrialization and globalization, as the demand for polystyrene is growing across varied industry verticals such as packaging and electrical & electronics among others.
