Based on application, the market value from the appliances segment recorded over USD 9.4 billion in 2023 and will generate over USD 15.7 billion by 2032 due to ideal properties for manufacturing durable, aesthetically pleasing, and high-performance household appliances. ABS is widely used in the manufacture of appliances, such as refrigerators, washing machines, vacuum cleaners, and kitchen appliances due to its good impact resistance, high tensile strength, and ease of assembly. The ability to be easily colored and finished to a glossy surface also makes it a preferred choice for appliance exteriors.
Based on technology, the ABS market value from the injection molding segment is expected to reach over USD 21.3 billion by 2032 due to its efficiency, versatility, and ability to produce high-quality, complex parts at a rapid pace. Injection molding processes are preferred due to their excellent flow characteristics, enabling accurate reproduction of design details. They also offer cost-effective mass production of ABS parts, reducing manufacturing costs and handling time, while maintaining product consistency.
Asia Pacific acrylonitrile butadiene styrene industry size was valued at over USD 21.6 billion in 2023 and is expected to exceed USD 36.6 billion by 2032 attributed to the rapid industrialization and urbanization like China, India, and Southeast Asian nation. The expanding middle class population in these countries has increased consumer spending on durable goods, such as appliances and electronics. Supportive government policies aimed at infrastructure development and product development are also creating favorable working conditions for the production and consumption of ABS in the region.
