Market expansion is primarily being driven by an increase in the usage of styrenic polymers in substitution of PVC in the healthcare sector. Styrenic polymers are increasingly being used in the medical sector to create high-performance, miniature medical devices, which is propelling market growth. These polymers make it simple to micro-mold medical devices.

Some firms are developing styrenic-based powder polymer modifiers. The demand for compounders and extruders to increase polymer characteristics and enable better processing is met by these innovative products. Increased rigidity, greater colour fastness and retention, resistance to UV rays, dimensional stability, and impact resistance are just a few of the modifications. A few modifiers also provide enhanced processing, such as the ability to operate at lower temperatures and with less energy. A variety of polymers are addressed by the styrenics-based modifiers. Various polymers have been examined for compatibility and effectiveness, including ABS, ASA, PBT, PC, PP, PE, PS, PVC, SAN9, SBC, TPE, and TPU.

Asia‑Pacific dominated the Global Styrenic Polymers Market in 2021. The expansion of the regional market is anticipated to be propelled by the region's growing automotive and consumer goods sectors. In the coming years, the leading consumers of styrenic polymers in the regional market are anticipated to be the automotive industries in India, China, Japan, South Korea, and Thailand. With significant contributions from the developing nations like China, India, and Southeast Asia, the automobile sector in the Asia-Pacific region is the largest internationally. The market in China is anticipated to be the largest market for styrenic polymers in the region, while the market in India is anticipated to be the most profitable. Demand for these polymers is increasing in the regional market due to the rising requirement to reduce component weight, fuel consumption, and meet aesthetic attractions. Additionally, the demand for styrenic polymers in this industry has been driven by growing per capita income and higher expenditure in the region's consumer goods industry.
