As a green packaging material, the biaxially oriented polystyrene sheet (BOPS sheet) industry has a high concentration

Biaxially oriented polystyrene sheet, also known as BOPS sheet and OPS sheet, refers to a new environmentally friendly polymer material made of biaxially oriented polystyrene as raw material. BOPS sheets have the advantages of good transparency, lightweight, high strength, good chemical stability, low production cost, and green environmental protection. They are widely used in the fields of medicine, food, and daily necessities packaging.

The main raw material of BOPS sheet is polystyrene (PS), which is a polymer with high stiffness, high transparency, and easy processing and molding. Polystyrene is widely used in building materials, packaging, consumer electronics and other fields. Benefiting from the increasingly strong market demand, my country’s polystyrene production continues to grow. In 2022, my country’s polystyrene output will reach 3.569 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 9.2%. The sufficient supply of raw materials provides favorable conditions for the development of my country’s BOPS sheet industry. In 2022, my country’s BOPS sheet production will reach 189,000 tons.

The packaging field is the largest demand side for BOPS sheets. BOPS sheets have the advantages of strong temperature adaptability, good chemical stability, and recyclability, and can be used as packaging materials for various products such as medicine, food, and daily necessities. In recent years, with the improvement of production processes of local enterprises, the production cost of BOPS sheets in my country has continued to decline, driving its market demand to further grow. According to the “2023-2028 China Biaxially Oriented Polystyrene Sheet (BOPS Sheet) Industry Market In-depth Research and Development Prospects Forecast Report released by the Industrial Research Center” shows that my country’s BOPS sheet market size will reach 1.92 billion yuan in 2022, a year-on-year increase of 18.3%. It is expected that in the future, driven by market demand, the development space of my country’s BOPS sheet industry will further expand.

In September 2022, the China Packaging Federation released the “China Packaging Industry Development Plan (2021-2025)”. The document clearly proposed the development of green packaging materials and increased promotion of reusable and recyclable plastic packaging materials. Benefiting from policy support, the industry development trend of BOPS sheets as a green packaging material will continue to improve.

my country’s BOPS sheet market is highly competitive and the industry is highly concentrated, with leading companies occupying a dominant position in the market. Tianjin Rentai New Materials Co., Ltd., Shenzhen Yonghe Polymer Materials Co., Ltd., Shenzhen Yongning Modern Packaging Industrial Co., Ltd., Zhejiang Angtian Plastic Industry Co., Ltd., Changzhou Plastics Group Company, Shanghai Luoxing Packaging Materials Co., Ltd., etc. are my country’s BOPS sheets major producers. Shenzhen Yonghe Polymer Materials Co., Ltd. is the largest manufacturer of BOPS sheets in my country. The company’s current annual production capacity of BOPS sheets reaches 72,000 tons.

Industry analysts said that BOPS sheets have the advantages of good transparency, lightweight and high strength, and are widely used in the packaging field. With the support of national policies, the prosperity of my country’s green packaging materials industry has improved, which will drive further growth in the market demand for BOPS sheets. There are many BOPS sheet manufacturers in my country, and the industry concentration is high. In the future, companies with high-quality BOPS sheet production capabilities will occupy a larger space in the market.
