The global production capacity of polystyrene amounted to 15.61 million metric tons in 2021. By 2026, it is forecast to grow slightly, with the production capacity expected to 16.75 million metric tons that year. This growth is partly attributable to two new planned and announced polystyrene plants that are expected to come online in Asia during that timeframe.
