Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) Market Analysis,
Market Size, Application Analysis, Regional Outlook,
Growth Trends, Competitive Strategies And Forecasts, 2012
To 2020
Increasing light weight components demand in automobile industry is anticipated to fuel the global
acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) market growth over the forecast period. ABS comprises durability
and high strength at low temperatures, chemical resistance, heat resistance and also easy
manufacturing process.
These properties attract manufacturers to use ABS as a raw material for industrial as well as consumer
product applications such as construction material, consumer goods, automotive exterior and interior
parts and appliances. ABS is used to produce end products through various thermoplastic manufacturing
methods such as extrusion, blow and injection molding. A variety of ABS grades are available in the
market and chosen for the applications based on mechanical and physical properties of the raw material
polymer used.

Plastics are being majorly used in industries as they provide a significant weight reduction in the
components. ABS applications are increasing in automotive industry due to above mentioned aspect
which also helps to enhance fuel efficiency. A 10% weight reduction results in 5% to 7% fuel savings
which is considerable aspect related to consumers. In addition to this, it also reduces carbon dioxide
emission over the vehicle life cycle. Growing appliance market demand in China is expected to fuel the
ABS market demand over the next five years.
However, existence of functional substitutes is anticipated to replace the ABS applications in end-use
industries. But ABS has replaced many materials such as metals, ceramics, nylon and...
