Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) and Styrene Acrylonitrile (SAN) – A Global Market Overview

Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) and Styrene Acrylonitrile (SAN) – A Global Market Overview

Report Synopsis
Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) and Styrene Acrylonitrile (SAN) resins are engineering thermoplastics featuring a balance between heat and chemical resistance, high stiffness and excellent processing behavior. ABS and SAN resins are frequently used in general purpose and high heat applications and can be processed via major routes such as extrusion or injection molding. Compared to other thermoplastics, particularly ABS has a high surface polarity, resulting in excellent printability and paintability. ABS is well miscible with other polar thermoplastics, such as polyamide (PA) and polycarbonate (PC).

The impact of COVID-19 pandemic on ABS & SAN resins demand differed in intensity depending on their end-use application and region. Sharpest decline was evident in ABS & SAN resins demand for automotive & transportation and building & construction applications. On the other hand, demand for ABS & SAN resins in appliances and electrical & electronics applications was robust in 2020. The overall consumption of ABS & SAN is estimated at 11.9 million metric tons and expected to reach 12.4 million metric tons in 2023.
