MOSCOW (MRC) -- In Q I of 2011 the estimate of imports of polystyrene (PS) and
styrene plastics to Russia made 35 KT (+13% to Q I of 2010), according to MRC
analysts.
It was expected that a launch of EPS production at Sibur-Chimprom site
will result in reduced imports of EPS. But imports substitution isn’t observed.
EPS imports remained at the level of 2010 - 12 KT. Growth of overall imports of
PS and styrene plastics against the same period in 2010 occurred at the expense
of double growth of GPPS imports (8 KT).
