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

Plastics are being majorly used in industries as they provide a significant weight reduction in the<br />
components. <strong>ABS</strong> applications are increasing in automotive industry due to above mentioned aspect<br />
which also helps to enhance fuel efficiency. A 10% weight reduction results in 5% to 7% fuel savings<br />
which is considerable aspect related to consumers. In addition to this, it also reduces carbon dioxide<br />
emission over the vehicle life cycle. Growing appliance market demand in China is expected to fuel the<br />
<strong>ABS</strong> market demand over the next five years.<br />
However, existence of functional substitutes is anticipated to replace the <strong>ABS</strong> applications in end-use<br />
industries. But <strong>ABS</strong> has replaced many materials such as metals, ceramics, nylon and wood from end-use<br />
applications. Recent developments related to technology advancements in product development<br />
particularly bio-based products are expected to replace <strong>ABS</strong> in the near future. Technology<br />
advancement to expand <strong>ABS</strong> applications in other sectors is anticipated to offset this negative impact on<br />
the market over the forecast period.<br />
Automotive segment was the dominant application market in 2013 and is expected to witness fastest<br />
growth over the next five years. <strong>ABS</strong> is broadly used to manufacture center consoles, headliners, trims<br />
and interior grills. It is also utilized for exterior parts such as bumpers, handles, carriers and panels<br />
owing to its strength, toughness and rigidity. The product growth is anticipated to spur over the next<br />
five years due to improved favorable regulations and increased concern about fuel economy and weight.<br />

Electrical and electronics contributed to the second major consumer market accounting for over 20% of<br />
the total demand. Easy manufacturing process and fabrication makes it better raw material for electrical<br />
industry. <strong>ABS</strong> provides a series of applications in electrical industry owing to better insulation property.<br />
Other product applications include construction material, appliance and consumer goods. China was the<br />
dominant <strong>ABS</strong> regional market accounting for over 55% of the total demand in 2013. China is the<br />
dominant consumer and manufacturer of <strong>ABS</strong> across the world owing to numerous existing end user<br />
industries in the region and low operating and labor costs.<br />
In addition to this several other companies has shifted their manufacturing facilities to the region from<br />
west on account of above mentioned reasons. Other countries in Asia such as India, Indonesia, South<br />
Korea Taiwan and Japan are also anticipated to show a rapid growth for the global <strong>ABS</strong> market over the<br />
next five years. This is driven by the increasing construction activities and industrialization in the region.<br />
The region still contributes to the low consumption of <strong>ABS</strong> products which is expected to be a scope for<br />
further growth in the region. India is projected to be the most emerging market in the region owing to<br />
growing application industries.
