World Polystyrene/EPS Analysis
IHS Chemical World Polystyrene/EPS Analysis (formerly CMAI’s World Polystyrene/EPS Analysis) is an annual study that covers historical trends and forecasts for major global polystyrene and expandable polystyrene market fundamentals over an 11-year period (five-year history, base year, five-year forecast).
-
The global polystyrene (PS) and expandable polystyrene (EPS) markets appear to be headed in opposite directions. Decreased global demand for PS has forced polystyrene producers to undertake major restructuring efforts, especially in mature markets such as the United States, Western Europe and Japan. Some firms have formed strategic alliances to optimize their production economies. Others have sought or are actively pursuing joint venture possibilities with local producers in developing regions. The EPS markets, on the other hand, have witnessed increased global demand across all regions, even mature markets.
In the context of these dissimilar paths, IHS Chemical World Polystyrene/EPS Analysis examines supply, demand, production, capacity of global PS and EPS over an 11-year period (five-year history, base year, five-year forecast). An ideal complement to IHS Chemical World Styrene Analysis (formerly CMAI’s World Styrene Analysis), this study provides a more global, more detailed and more thorough analysis of the polystyrene industry by demand sector.
Clients may order IHS Chemical World Polystyrene/EPS Analysis in book and CD-ROM format. Included is 12-month’s access to IHS Chemical’s online capacity and supply/demand databases, with updates to the capacity database as they occur and biannual updates to the supply/demand database.
