Market Definition

Styrenic polymers are economical plastics that contain many plastic products with styrene as their primary building block. Due to their amorphous structure, these polymers can be quickly processed well above their softening point and over a varied temperature range. Styrenic polymers do not have a different melting point than other partly crystalline polymers. Styrenic polymers allow faster processing of these polymers and high dimensional stability and outstanding mechanical properties.

Report Scope and Market Segmentation

Styrenic Polymer Packaging Market Dynamics

This section deals with understanding the market drivers, advantages, opportunities, restraints and challenges. All of this is discussed in detail below:

Drivers

• High growth in wind energy applications of UPR

There is a higher demand for wind energy applications of UPR and SBR. UPR is widely employed in the manufacture of wind blades, rotors, ventilators, and other wind energy components due to cost and performance advantages, indicating that the wind energy industry is growing rapidly.

• Increased SBR demand due to tire labeling regulations

Tire labeling regulations, being approved by different countries such as Germany, Japan, etc., have led to a global SBR demand, especially in the automobile industry.

Opportunities

Innovation in applications and products

• The growing usage of styrenic polymers in the production of medical devices such as IV fluid storage, blood bags, dialysis solutions, and tubings is likely to provide profitable prospects.
• Increased R&D by manufacturers to investigate more properties of styrenic polymers is expected to create new market possibilities over the forecast period.

Restraints/ Challenges

The high price of styrenic polymers compared to other thermoplastic materials is likely to restrain the market growth. Polystyrene and ABS are two primary materials that have a high price. For example, the average cost of ABS is approximately three times of the lowest-priced PVC. Because raw materials utilized in the manufacturing of styrenic polymers are generated from crude oil, the unpredictable price of crude oil due to the political scenario is predicted to stymie market growth..
