Some of the major contributors to growth of the global polystyrene market are – increase in disposable income of families. Growing economies in developing countries such as India, has increased the fraction of household expenditure on dining out, by as much as 10%. As these countries add more people to the middle class segment of population, more people will explore such options. There are other factors that might hamper growth of the global polystyrene tubs market. Polystyrene is widely considered to be a possible human carcinogen, due to the presence of Styrene. Amidst growing health concerns, and people being advised not to use foam products, there might be some hindrance to growth of the global polystyrene tubs market.

Also, Polystyrene products are slow to break down in landfills, and therefore present the risk of potentially releasing toxic chemicals. Hence, polystyrene tubs can be considered unsafe as they come in contact with the food inside. San Francisco banned all polystyrene take-away containers in 2007, amidst environmental concerns. In June, 2016, San Francisco banned all polystyrene products in the city. Therefore, the polystyrene tubs market outlook for polystyrene tubs in San Francisco does not look very promising.

Despite all these factors, there are some key benefits that are expected to still keep polystyrene market growing in certain regions. These factors include -

In terms of volume, North America region leads the global polystyrene tubs market. That scenario could soon change as a result of government restrictions on the use of polystyrene in the region. Many cities in the US have placed permanent or temporary bans on the use of polystyrene products. These include some of the prominent US cities such as New York City, Seattle, San Francisco, Washington DC, and Portland. Therefore, it is possible for other US regions to follow suit. Although there is spontaneous research and development to ensure that post-consumer Styrofoam (polystyrene) is fully recyclable. The New York State Supreme Court overturned the New York foam ban. Similar happenings have been reported from Europe, with cities considering foam ban, which has the opposition of companies which invest on R&D. Hence, some turbulence can be expected for the global polystyrene tubs market, over the forecast period. The other regions such as Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East, are expected to be influenced to a certain extent by the mixed response toward polystyrene containers in Europe and North America, but with a significant investment on R&D by companies, it is expected that polystyrene containers, and therefore, polystyrene tubs, will continue to be used, well beyond the forecast period.
