Acrylonitrile Market Analysis: Industry Market Size, Plant Capacity, Production, Process Operating Efficiency, Demand & Supply, End-User Industries, Sales Channel, Regional Demand, Foreign Trade, Company Share, Manufacturing Process, 2015-2035

H1 2023: In H1 2023, the leading players in the global Acrylonitrile market were Ineos Nitriles, Sinopec Group (CPCC) (China Petroleum & Chemical Corp.), PetroChina Company Ltd. (CNPC) (China National Petroleum Corp.), and Ascend Performance Materials. Based on Acrylonitrile production, Ineos Nitriles was leading all across the globe in H1 2023. In June 2023, Ineos Nitriles, one of the prominently world-renowned producers of Acrylonitrile announced a specific-new line called Invireo TM bio-based Acrylonitrile. This new line focuses on sustainable chemicals and reducing the carbon-footprint. This will provide the option to choose a bio-based alternative to acrylonitrile. In the Asia Pacific region, the demand for Acrylonitrile was weak as the demand from the downstream acrylates, rubber, and elastomers industries was pretty gloomy during H1 2023, and thus, the price. However, prices rose again in February 2023 due to low inventories and a surge in retail demand in the Asia Pacific region. From April 2023, the Acrylonitrile price trend turned bearish. Buyer demand was low and hazy demand by the end-user rubber and elastomers industries throughout. The offtakes from Styrene Acrylonitrile and Nitrile Butadiene rubber plants remained depressed. However, In Europe, acrylonitrile prices were volatile. In January 2023, acrylonitrile prices fell due to sluggish demand from rubber and acrylic manufacturers in the region. However, prices rebounded in mid-February 2023 and surged as there were tightened sanctions on Russian petroleum products that affected production rates. At the end of March 2023, AnQore in Greleen in the Netherlands was closed for maintenance, which drove the prices higher in Europe. In April 2023 market supplies were stable due to increased imports from Asia. Meanwhile, demand for acrylonitrile by the downstream ABS, Styrene Acrylonitrile, and Nitrile Butadiene industries remained weak. At the end of H1 2023, the price further declined due to increased supply from Asia and lower buying and manufacturing activity in the region. The European Central Bank and the Bank of England raised bank interest rates to combat inflation, resulting in poor buying activity in Europe. 

 

The global Acrylonitrile market has reached approximately 6.5 million tonnes in 2022 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.77% during the forecast period until 2035. 

 

Acrylonitrile is an organic compound with the chemical formula CH2CHCN. It is a substance that occasionally becomes yellow because of impurities. It is produced using the ammoxidation process, in which high-temperature reaction takes place between propylene, ammonia, and air in the presence of a catalyst. Acrylonitrile works as a crucial monomer in the synthesis of polymers including ABS, SAN, ASA, and acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber. Because of the strong demand for these polymers from the construction and automotive industries as well as their durability, thermal stability, chemical resistance, and high-strength features, the acrylonitrile market has been expanding.

 

The primary driver of the Acrylonitrile global market is driven by the production of Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS). Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene is extensively utilised in the electronics and automotive industries thanks to its exceptional qualities, including strength and endurance at low temperatures.The market for consumer appliances is seeing an increase in the use of ABS resins. Several end-user industries, including oil and gas, food, aircraft, defense, and aerospace, use ABS. The growing use of acrylic fibres is driving up the demand for acrylonitrile. Because they are lightweight, these fibres are great choices for clothing. It serves as the primary raw ingredient for the production of acrylic fibres. The textile and apparel industries employ acrylic fibre because of its lightweight characteristics. Owing to these factors, the Acrylonitrile market is expected to reach 11 million tonnes in 2035.

 

Regionally, the Asia Pacific region is dominating the Acrylonitrile market, followed by Europe. This region held a market share of approximately 66% in 2022. Growing economies coupled with the rapidly growing population in developing countries like India, Japan, Malaysia, and China are imposing a higher demand for plastics for usage in the construction sector coupled with the growing usage of the acrylic fibre in India’s textile industries, which is anticipated to further propel the Acrylonitrile market furthermore. Given the enormous demand for acrylonitrile in the automotive industry, Europe is predicted to foresee an expansion in demand. Growing automotive industry for producing energy-efficient cars to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Based on production, Asia Pacific is dominating the Acrylonitrile market with China having the highest production capacity. 

 

Based on the end-user industry, the global Acrylonitrile market is segmented into ABS, Acrylic Fibre, Acrylamide, and Others. Among these, the ABS industry is dominating the Acrylonitrile market and consumed roughly 42% of the market in 2022. ABS is quite popular plastic. This is a result of the product's expanding application in the construction sector, consumer products, technology, automobile, and consumer goods. The product is also more durable than PVC, corrosion-resistant, and has great mechanical strength.

 

Major players in the production of Global Acrylonitrile are Ineos Nitriles, Jiangsu Sailboat (Sierbang) Petrochemical Corp. Ltd. (Shenghong Holding Group), Ascend Performance Materials, Asahi Kasei Chemicals, AnQore (DSM Acrylonitrile), Cornerstone Chemical Company (Cytec Industries), PetroChina Company Ltd. (CNPC) (China National Petroleum Corp.), Shanghai SECCO Petrochemical Company, Sinopec Group (CPCC) (China Petroleum & Chemical Corp.),  Tong Suh Petrochemical Corp., Ltd.
