The global Styrenics market size was valued at USD 76,600 million in 2022 and is projected to reach USD 134,900 million by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 6.1% during the forecast period.

The global styrenics market is on a robust growth trajectory, with its market size valued at USD 76.6 billion in 2022, and is projected to reach USD 134.9 billion by 2033, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.1% during the forecast period. This significant expansion is fueled by increased demand across industries such as packaging, automotive, construction, electronics, and consumer goods, alongside innovations in sustainable product development and recycling technologies. 

What Are Styrenics? 

Styrenics refer to a broad family of thermoplastic polymers derived from styrene, a colorless liquid hydrocarbon primarily synthesized from benzene and ethylene. These materials include polystyrene (PS), expandable polystyrene (EPS), acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), and styrene acrylonitrile (SAN). Known for their durability, heat and chemical resistance, and ease of molding, styrenics are widely used in everyday products and critical industrial applications.
