Polystyrene, a hard, stiff, shiny transparent synthetic resin, is produced by the food-service industry as rigid trays and containers, disposable eating utensils, and foam cups, plates, and bowls. Polystyrene is used for products such as disposable plastic cutlery and dinnerware, CD 'jewel' cases, smoke detector housings, license plate frames, plastic model assembly kits and many other places where a tough, cost-effective plastic is desired. Polystyrene plastic is a naturally transparent thermoplastic that is available in the form of common solid plastics as well as rigid foam materials, polystyrene plastic is commonly used in different type of consumer product applications and it is also used in commercial packaging. Polystyrene is a versatile plastic used for a variety of consumer products, made by polymerizing styrene, a building-block chemical used in the manufacture of many products. Polystyrene is also made into a foam material, called expanded polystyrene or extruded polystyrene, which is valued for its insulating and cushioning properties. Polystyrene is used to make many car parts, including knobs, instrument panel trim, energy-absorbing door panels, and sound dampening foam. Polystyrene is used for televisions, computers and all types of IT equipment for housing and other areas where a combination of form, function and aesthetics is required and polystyrene is also used in insulation, lightweight polystyrene foam provides thermal insulation in applications such as building walls and roofs. , refrigerators and freezers and polystyrene insulation is inert, durable and resistant to water damage. Low-cost, high-strength plastics used to produce the insulation of buildings, sterile disposable flatware, and recycled into household construction materials, the market is projected to grow with the product's application scope in numerous end-use sectors.

Analyst View:

Polystyrene is most important in various end-use industries, polystyrene is widely used in the food-service industry as rigid trays and containers, disposable edible and foamed cups, plates and bowls. Polystyrene is also copolymerized or blended with other polymers, providing stiffness and strength in many important plastic and rubber products. Both polystyrene and plastic foam are used as insulators because they have small air bubbles trapped inside them, making them very good insulators because heat energy cannot flow through them. The polystyrene market is growing due to increase in thermal insulation, increase in demand for green buildings and increasing investment and development, increasing rate of world population and increasing industrialization and globalization. The worldwide polystyrene market is increasing innovation due to technological developments in polystyrene products that are more efficient to wear and use
