Polystyrene -China Market Research Report Report

Polystyrene -China Market Research Report Report

Polystyrene (PS) is a thermoplastic resin, made from polymerized styrene. Because of its easy processibility, it is used in many applications such as disposables, packaging, toys, construction, electronics and housewares. There are three basic types of polystyrene resins¡ªgeneral-purpose polystyrene (GPPS), high-impact polystyrene (HIPS), and expandable polystyrene (EPS). There are also different grades of polystyrene resins.

    Global VC Consulting Co., Ltd. expected that Chinese consumption of PS will be 30.35% of total consumption of the world (49.15£¥for EPS and 23.83£¥ for GP/HIPS) in 2009. Average annual consumption growth rate for EPS, GP/HIPS and PS of China is 10.9£¥, 5.4£¥ and 7.5£¥, respectively, in near future years, which is much larger than that of world (4.6£¥, 3.2£¥and 3.6£¥ for EPS, GP/HIPS and PS, respectively). China will continue to be main factor of promoting consumption growth of world. ......
