Thailand import trend for styrenic polymers in the Thailand market showed notable growth from 2023 to 2024, with a growth rate of 12.56%. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for the period 2020-2024 stood at 3.43%. This uptrend can be attributed to a steady demand shift towards styrenic polymers in various industries, indicating market stability and sustained import momentum during this period.
The Styrenic Polymers market in Thailand is projected to grow at a growing growth rate of 5.40% by 2027, highlighting the country's increasing focus on advanced technologies within the Asia region, where China holds the dominant position, followed closely by India, Japan, Australia and South Korea, shaping overall regional demand.

The Thailand styrenic polymers market is witnessing substantial growth as these polymers are widely used in packaging, electronics, and automotive industries. Polystyrene (PS), acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), and other styrenic polymers have found diverse applications in the production of consumer goods and industrial components. The country`s growing consumer market and the expansion of the electronics sector have contributed to the increased demand for styrenic polymers. As Thailand continues to attract foreign investments in manufacturing and assembly operations, the market for styrenic polymers is expected to remain robust.
The Thailand styrenic polymers market is influenced by several factors driving its growth. Firstly, the packaging industry`s expansion, including food packaging and consumer goods, significantly increases the demand for styrenic polymers like polystyrene (PS) and expanded polystyrene (EPS). These materials are preferred for their lightweight, insulating, and protective properties. Secondly, the electrical and electronics sector relies on styrenic polymers for various applications, including casings and components, benefiting from their electrical insulating properties and durability. Furthermore, the construction industry`s use of styrenic polymers in insulation materials, including extruded polystyrene (XPS), contributes to market growth. Sustainability initiatives and recyclability efforts in the polymer industry are driving innovation and adoption of eco-friendly styrenic polymers.
The Thailand styrenic polymers market faces challenges related to the circular economy and sustainability. Reducing plastic waste and promoting recycling are priorities, and market players need to invest in sustainable packaging solutions. Regulatory changes to limit single-use plastics and encourage recycling can impact the industry. Maintaining product quality and performance while meeting sustainability goals is an ongoing challenge.
The Thailand Styrenic Polymers Market had mixed experiences during the pandemic. While demand for packaging materials increased, industries like automotive and electronics faced challenges. Supply chain disruptions and uncertainty around global trade impacted the market.
In the Thailand styrenic polymers market, major players like SCG Chemicals Co., Ltd. and Thai Petrochemical Industry Public Co., Ltd. are dominant. They offer a wide range of styrenic polymer products, serving industries such as packaging, electronics, and automotive.
