Polystyrene demand in India will keep growing from 2026-27 to 2030-31, and domestic capacity is enough to meet it, though some is imported and some exported. The major producers are Supreme Petrochem and Styrenix Performance Materials (formerly INEOS Styrolution India Ltd).
Demand for ABS in India grew 4.6% a year from 2017-18 to 2025-26 and will keep rising as the middle class spends more on home appliances and cars; SAN grades will gain too, led by consumer and industrial applications. Styrenix Performance Materials Ltd (formerly INEOS Styrolution India Ltd) and Bhansali Engineering Polymers Ltd are the major producers of ABS & SAN, and Supreme Petrochem started its first 70,000 TPA ABS line at Amdoshi, Maharashtra, in September 2025. In the near future, EPS and ABS will drive petrochemical demand growth in India.
Worldwide, polypropylene and PET keep squeezing polystyrene on both cost and performance. EPS should grow at a moderate rate over the next five years, while ABS resin and SBR are expected to see the highest annual growth in consumption.
