Global Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) Market Review & Forecast 2019-2023; Led by Asahi Kasei, BASF, JSR, Mitsui Chemicals, SABIC, and Toray Industries - ResearchAndMarkets.com

The "Global Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) Market 2019-2023" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) market will register a CAGR of almost 6% by 2023.

The demand for ABS from China is expected to increase during the forecast period as many OEMs are shifting their manufacturing bases to the country because of the easy availability of land and raw materials, inexpensive labor, and lenient government regulations and policies on the use of ABS as a polymer in industries such as electrical and electronics, appliances, construction, automotive and others.

Some of the major end-user industries of ABS are the appliances, electrical and electronics, construction and automotive. Increasing disposable income and demand for consumer goods and household appliances will significantly increase the consumption of ABS in China.

Rising demand for ABS from the automotive sector

ABS is primarily used for manufacturing components of automobiles such as instrument panels, pillar trim, dashboard components, door liners and handles, seat backs, seat belt components, and others. Currently, the automotive industry is the largest consumer of ABS It is one of the materials that can be used as a substitute for metal components.

Fluctuating crude oil prices

ABS is manufactured by the polymerization of acrylonitrile and styrene polymers in the presence of polybutadiene rubber. Styrene, butadiene, and acrylonitrile are the raw materials that are derived from crude oil. Therefore, fluctuations in raw material prices directly impact the global prices of ABS. Price fluctuations can negatively impact the prices of polymers and their applications.

Competitive Landscape

The market appears to be highly fragmented and with the presence of several vendors.
