Global Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene Market Research Report

ABS (Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene) is an opaque thermoplastic polymer material made from the monomers Acrylonitrile, Butadiene and Styrene. It offers good resistance to heat and chemicals and is easy to process. It possesses properties like good strength and durability even at low temperatures, heat and chemical resistant, and easy processing that makes it useful in numerous applications, such as automotive interior and exterior parts, consumer goods, construction material, and appliances. One of the key drivers for growing ABS demand is the increasing need for light weight automobiles to obtain better fuel efficiency. Electrical and electronics segment is another largest consumer of ABS in accounting for almost over 20% of global demand.

Asia-Pacific is the key consumer market of ABS, with a major application in appliances and electronics. Subsequent to Asia-Pacific are Europe and North American ABS markets, which are quite mature with demand growth well below the average market growth.

The various applications studied include Appliances, Electrical & Electronics (E&E), Transportation and Others.
