AMS is utilized to modify rubber compounds to improve their processing properties, mechanical performance, and durability. By incorporating AMS into rubber formulations, manufacturers can enhance rubber products' resilience, tear strength, and abrasion resistance, such as tires, conveyor belts, gaskets, and seals, making them suitable for demanding industrial and automotive applications.

Moreover, AMS is used as a precursor in the production of various aromatic chemicals, such as phenylacetone and acetophenone. These chemicals find applications as intermediates in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, fragrances, and flavoring agents. These aromatic chemicals are building blocks for synthesizing various organic compounds in the pharmaceutical, fragrance, and food industries.

The expansion of the automotive industry in Mexico is anticipated to generate a greater need for ABS polymers and, consequently, alpha-methylstyrene. Producing alpha-methylstyrene locally in Mexico can optimize the supply chain for ABS production. Hence, the rising automotive sector in North America will assist in the growth of the regional alpha-methylstyrene market.
