Acrylonitrile Market By Application (Acrylic Fiber, Adiponitrile, Styrene Acrylonitrile, Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene, Acrylamide, Carbon Fiber, Nitrile Rubber)- Global Market Insights 2019 to 2029

Acrylonitrile Market Exhibits Steady Growth Through 2029

Soaring demand for acrylic fiber for the manufacturing of plastics and composites will drive the demand for acrylonitrile.

Manufacturers are aiming at capacity expansion by forging strategic partnerships with raw material vendors. The global acrylonitrile market will grow 1.6X from 2019 to 2029.

Being a petrochemical derivative, the acrylonitrile market is highly influenced by changing oil & gas prices.

However, advancements in material science and extraction methods will drive the demand for acrylonitrile during the forecast period.

Surging automotive production across countries contributes significantly to the demand of acrylonitrile. The chemical is widely used as a raw material for manufacturing parts for the automotive industry.

Acrylonitrile Butadiene to Account for 1/3rd of total Market Value

Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene accounts for a majority share among various applications with over 1/3rd of the total market value.

Versatile applications in manufacturing of thermoplastic and polymer based components in industries such as automotive and construction drive demand from this segment.

Nitrile rubber holds the second largest share with over 1/4th of the total market value.

Properties such as high resistance to solvents make nitrile rubber an ideal raw material for manufacturing non-latex gloves, automotive transmission belts, binders, and adhesives.

The nitrile rubber segment will offer the most lucrative growth opportunities through 2029.

East Asia Maintains Hegemony over Global Sales

East Asia exhibits share-wide dominance with over 40% share of the total market revenues. Presence of prominent manufacturers in countries such as China, and Japan are a central factor to this region’s leadership.

The fall in propylene prices in developed economies have created a level playing field for manufacturers.

Multiplying automotive production on the back of increasing disposable income in South Asia & Oceania countries position the region as the highest growth region during the forecast period.

Easy availability of raw material in early adopters such as the US will drive demand in North American countries.

Further, increasing investments in oil & gas exploration and infrastructure trickles down to rise in demand for acrylonitrile based products.

Omnipresent development trends across countries will increase the demand for high-strength and resilient products manufactured using acrylonitrile as a raw material.

Capacity Expansion to Shape Competitive Landscape

The global acrylonitrile market is consolidated in nature with major manufacturers holding a majority of the market value share.

Competition in the acrylonitrile market is driven by strategic investments in countries with abundance of raw material.

China is the leading producer of the chemical and home to leading market players. Other Asia Pacific countries such as India are also emerging as high-revenue territories.

Energy efficient processes give the competitive advantage to acrylonitrile manufacturers in developed economies.

However, availability of raw material in Asian continent also influences the competitive landscape.
