Given the rise in demand from China the country is facing major capacity additions for styrene in the upcoming years . Capacity additions of ~5 MMT/YR was expected to come online by H2 2018 To H1 2019 however the delay in construction means these plants would be operational only by FY 2020. Other mature markets like US and Europe are expected to remain stagnant with no major capacity additions.
Major plants in these regions have an average age of 10-15 years and hence these regions have witnessed major supply difficulties in the past few years. The trade wars between China and US have resulted in tariffs imposed by the Chinese government on US imports .Suppliers in the region are likely to cater to regions like Europe. This could also result in more supply in the domestic market keeping the pressure on prices in the region
