Europe Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene Market by Applications (Appliances, Electrical & Electronics, Transportation and Others) and, by Country - Analysis and Forecast to 2019

Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) is a polymer made by polymerizing acrylonitrile and styrene in the presence of butadiene. In general composition, it is half of styrene, and the balance is divided into acrylonitrile and butadiene. By varying the usual composition of ABS, various grades of ABS can be formed with a wide range of features and applications.

In addition to this, ABS is a thermoplastic. Due to its light weight and high resistance, ABS is widely used in many industries. ABS is mostly used in applications where impact resistance and structural strength are necessary.

The Europe ABS market is expected to grow from a value of $2.88 billion in 2014 to $3.43 billion by 2019, at a CAGR of 3.6% during the period under consideration. Germany dominates the European market for ABS, having accounted for a 26.35% market share in 2013, followed by Italy.

An in-depth market share analysis, in terms of revenue, of the top companies is also included in the report. These numbers are arrived at based on key facts, annual financial information from SEC filings, annual reports, and interviews with industry experts and key opinion leaders such as CEOs, directors, and marketing executives.

Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) is a polymer made by polymerizing acrylonitrile and styrene in the presence of butadiene. In general composition, it is half of styrene, and the balance is divided into acrylonitrile and butadiene. By varying the usual composition of ABS, various grades of ABS can be formed with a wide range of features and applications.

The adoption of low weight consumer materials, for end-users substituting the heavy materials, is driving the growth of ABS market in Europe. ABS is widely used in the transportation sector; and due to the growth of the automobile sector in the region, the demand for ABS is also increasing significantly in the region.

The Europe ABS market is expected to grow from a value of $2.88 billion in 2014 to $3.43 billion by 2019, at a CAGR of 3.6% during the period under consideration. The growing manufacturing industries, growing automobile sector, and the replacement of heavy weight consumer materials to low weight consumer materials are some of the key factors driving the market growth. On the other hand, dynamic pricing of butadiene and the other components, which are used for manufacturing ABS, are expected to restrain the market growth in the coming years.

Based on applications, the ABS market has been segmented into transportation, electrical & electronics, and consumer goods & appliances, among others. The consumer goods & appliances segment dominated the European market in 2014, and is expected to continue dominating the market in the coming years, even though the transportation segment is projected to grow at a faster CAGR during the forecast period of 2014 to 2019. The lightweight and heavy strength of the ABS materials are among of the major reasons for the growth of this market.

Based on geography, the ABS market has been segmented and analyzed in terms of Germany, Italy, Russia, and France. Germany held the largest market share and is expected to continue dominating the European market during the given forecast period. In terms of growth rate, the market in Russia is projected to grow at a faster CAGR during the given forecast period.

Some of the key players of this market include Tabriz Petrochemicals (Iran), Nizhnekamskneftekhim (Russia), Styrolution (Germany), Styron LLC (U.S.), and Elix Polymers (Spain), among others.
