Net news: according to MRC ScanPlast, from January to October 2014, Russian companies increased exports of general polystyrene (GPPS) to foreign markets, a total of 36,500 tons, a year-on-year increase of 2.6 times. Meanwhile, HIPS exports totaled 36,800 tons, up 1.8 times year-on-year. Russia became a net exporter of PS for the first time in its history.
From January to October 2014, Russia's PS net exports totaled 26,200 tons. HIPS accounted for 16,100 tons while GPPS for 10,100 tons. That is partly because of increased production at home and Russia's desire to expand abroad, and partly because imports overall have fallen. The devaluation of the rouble gives Russia an advantage over imports.
But it can not be said that Russian domestic materials have completely replaced imported materials. Some important imports remain in the market, and it is difficult for Russian producers to keep them out of the market. HIPS, made by LG chem of South Korea, still occupies an important position in the Russian market. From January to October 2014, Russia imported 4,000 tons of HIPS to LG chem, unchanged from the same period last year.
HIPS also has relatively large demand space in the Russian market. In the first 10 months of 2014, Russia imported 5,000 tons of HIPS to styrene, down slightly from 5,400 tons in the same period last year. In addition, Polimeri Europa's GPPS have a market share in Russia. In the january-october period, Russia imported a total of 1,750 tons of GPPS from the company, up from 1,880 tons a year earlier.
Meanwhile, collin's GPPS cargo fell sharply, while Russia's GPPS imports fell 34%. Notably, Russian demand for HIPS produced by Polimeri Europa dropped, with exports of HIPS to Russia down 32 percent in the january-october period from a year earlier.
