Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene Market
REPORT DESCRIPTION
Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene Market - Applications, Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth
And Forecast 2012 - 2018
The global acrylonitrile butadiene styrene market is consolidated and saw the top four producers accounting for
a sizable stake of 65% in the market’s revenues in 2012. These are LG Chemical, Styrolution, Chi Mei
Corporation, and Formosa Plastic Corporation. Large multinational companies have a strong regional presence
and are looking for expansion thus, undertaking joint ventures and acquisitions to grow further. The acrylonitrile
butadiene styrene market faces credible threat from substitutes such as is polypropylene (PP), polycarbonates,
polyurethane (PU), and polystyrene (PS). The threat of new entrants is expected to rise from low to medium
owing to the consolidated nature of the market.
According to the report, the global market opportunity in acrylonitrile butadiene styrene is expected to rise from
US$21.43 bn in 2015 to US$26.15 bn by 2018. By application, the appliances segment is expected to lead and
account for 33.2% of the market by 2018. China is expected to account for 60.1% of the market by 2018. China
is the largest manufacturer and consumer of ABS worldwide. The large end-user industries located in the
region coupled with low operating and labor costs can be credited for the growth of the market in China.
Additionally, various manufacturing companies from the west have shifted their units to China due to the low
labor and operating costs. The Rest of Asia market will represent a 16.0% share of the acrylonitrile butadiene
styrene market by 2018.

Rising Demand for Light-weight Vehicles to Boost Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene Market
A rising trend towards reducing automobile weight and enhancing fuel efficiency is being seen in the
automotive industry and this is proving to be beneficial for the global acrylonitrile butadiene styrene market. As
plastics play a major role in reducing the weight of automotive components, which in turn helps reduce fuel

consumption, the demand for acrylonitrile butadiene styrene is very high from the automotive industry.
Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) is used in headliners, bumpers, panels, interior grills, handles, center
consoles, and trims.
ABS has applications in appliances and electrical and electronic products, thus fueling their demand. It has
gained popularity over the past few years owing to its high impact strength, low density, and insulation, thus
driving the market.
Environmental Concerns to Dampen Demand for Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene
ABS comprises butadiene, styrene, and acrylonitrile, all of which are hazardous to human health and the
environment. The processing of ABS leads to the emission of acrylonitrile and styrene into the atmosphere and
long-term human exposure can have substantial health hazards. This is expected to hinder the use of ABS.
Another factor challenging the ABS market is the competition from other thermoplastics such as PP, PS, and
PU. Of these, the biggest threat to ABS is polypropylene (PP). PP has excellent physical and chemical
properties and unlike ABS, it does not get damaged on exposure to sunlight. Moreover, PP does not have
environmentally hazardous monomers like styrene and acrylonitrile, thus making them a safer option.
Growing Demand from Emerging Countries to Act as Opportunity
The introduction of high-tech appliances with superior appearance has led to a growing demand for them from
the upper middle class society in the emerging nations such as China, Brazil, and India. As such, the demand
for acrylonitrile butadiene styrene is also expected to rise. The scope for ABS is high in these areas owing to
the presence of many production units and low per capita consumption.
