Specialty Polystyrene Resin Market by Function (Protection, Insulation, Cushioning), by Application (Protective Packaging, Building & Construction, Automotive & Transportation), by Region (North America, Asia Pacific, Europe, Middle East and Africa, South America) – Global Forecast 2019 to 2027

Specialty Polystyrene Resin Market: Summary

The Global Specialty Polystyrene Resin Market is projected to reach a value of over USD 137.4 billion by 2027 at a CAGR of around 2.3%.

Specialty polystyrene resin is a lightweight material and is composed of individual cells of low-density polystyrene. Its cells are not cross-linked, making them ideal for protection function. Thus, it is remarkably used in wide range of packaging and building & construction applications such as insulation, structural insulated panels, insulated concrete forms, roofing isolation systems, sheathing, and decorative modeling.

Specialty Polystyrene Resin Market: Drivers & Challenges

Market Driver:

• Growing Demand from End-use Industries

Specialty polystyrene resin is widely used as a protection material for various applications includes electrical & electronics, healthcare, and packaging. It is one of the versatile types of polymer foam with good mechanical and physical strength, thus, it is considered as the best packaging option for high-value heavy products and industrial products, which are entirely protected and safe from transportation as well as handling risks. The pharmaceutical breakable products, electronics components, consumer electronic products, and toys require trustable packaging to avoid damage and specialty polystyrene resin is the finest option.

Due to the versatile properties, it is used in a variety of applications such as packaging and insulation, which is fueling the market growth.

Market Restraints:

• Volatility of Raw Material Prices 

Raw materials used for manufacturing specialty polystyrene resin are obtained from petroleum products. Continuously varying petroleum product prices due to the supply & demand gap, natural disasters, and politics influence the price of the finished products. Moreover, the production cost and storage can also cause oil prices to rise and fall as well.

Therefore, volatility in raw materials cost is a key restraining factor to market growth.
