Styrenic Polymers Market Scope
Styrenic polymer is formed by polymerization of styrene in the presence of vinyl group results. The styrene based resins are widely applicable in manufacturing wide variety of everyday goods, kitchen appliances, hospitals and school supplies. The styrenic polymers offer several facilities such are flexibility of materials and design in the field of medical industries. There has been significant rise in number of polymer production capacity with figure stood up to USD 10.8 million ton in global in 2016, the future for styrenic polymers looks promising. The major companies are introducing latest technology based styrenic polymers in Asia-Pacific and Middle East region as its demand is observed in electrical and electronics industries that consume a majority of styrenic polymers.
According to AMA, the Global Styrenic Polymers market is expected to see growth rate of 6.1%
In styrenic polymers market, it has been observed that most of the companies are upgrading or introducing different type of thermoplastic styrenic polymers that offers more styrenes in synthetic rubbers.Its also expected to boost the future market with this new technology.
