The shift in the demand for polystyrene foam to China
According to Merchant Research & Consulting Ltd., the demand for polystyrene foam (foam plastic) in China grows by 7% a year.
The share of North America and Europe of the total consumption of foamed polystyrene is characterized by a marked downward trend.
The global demand for this product rises by 5.2% a year. China accounts for 60% of the regional consumption of polystyrene and about 20% of global polystyrene consumption.
Foam plastics make up the second major group of insulating materials. They include the following products: polystyrene foam, polyurethane and polyisocyanate foams, phenol-formaldehyde and carbamide-formaldehyde foam plastics. Foam plastic production volumes have been growing thanks to the changes in the requirements for the thermal resistance of building envelopes.
Construction foam plastics are characterised by the greatest potential for improving consumer properties and making their production technologies more efficient, thus leading to new applications in this sector.
In the recent years, polystyrene foam has been actively used for outdoor advertising purposes.
Major polystyrene foam manufacturers include the USA, Germany, France, Japan, which account for over 60 % of global production.
Polystyrene foam has been on the market for about 50 years. Since that time, its market has been steadily growing.
