Polystyrene imports reached a peak of 1.4 million tons in 2020 but decreased in the following years, with imports amounting to a lower figure. In terms of value, polystyrene imports saw a significant drop to $707 million in 2023.
Throughout the review period, Polystyrene imports peaked at 1.4M tons in 2020, but failed to regain momentum from 2021 to 2023. The value of Polystyrene imports significantly decreased to $707M in 2023.
In 2021-2022, China plans to add a new production capacity for styrene and polystyrenes. This could turn China from the world’s largest importer of those products into an exporter. Completion may be delayed due to electricity disruptions caused by increasing energy prices and regulations to reduce CO2 emissions. Despite the ban on single-use packaging, consumption of polystyrene in China will steadfastly grow, driven by a high demand for plastics in the construction, automotive and other industries.
In February 2023, the price of expandable polystyrene was $1,314 per ton (FOB, China), an increase of 3.9% compared to the previous month.
