In 2024, the leading exporters of Styrene (CAS 9003-53-6) were South Korea, Saudi Arabia, and Taiwan, collectively accounting for over 40% of global exports; major importers included China, the United States, and Germany, with China remaining the largest single market. Styrene prices have exhibited increased volatility since mid-2023, correlating with shifts in export volumes from Middle Eastern producers and rising import demand in Southeast Asia amid regional petrochemical capacity expansions.
Styrene is a clear, oily, volatile liquid with a pungent, sweetish odor; it has a boiling point of 145 °C and a melting point of −30 °C. It is an aromatic hydrocarbon and a vinyl-substituted benzene, classified as a key organic chemical intermediate. Styrene is primarily polymerized to produce solid polystyrene resins and copolymers such as acrylonitrile–butadiene–styrene (ABS) and styrene–acrylonitrile (SAN). Its principal applications are in the manufacture of rigid and expandable polystyrene packaging, automotive components, appliances, construction materials, and synthetic rubber products.
