據Stratistics MRC稱,2023年全球α-甲基苯乙烯市場規模為5.706億美元,預計預測期內複合年成長率為4.8%,到2030年將達到7.922億美元。
α-甲基苯乙烯 (AMS) 是一種無色液體芳香族化合物,具有獨特的氣味,主要用作塑膠、樹脂和特殊化學品生產中的單體。聚 α-甲基苯乙烯 (PAMS) 透過聚合生產,可用於多種應用,例如黏劑、被覆劑和包裝材料。 AMS 具有熱穩定性、耐化學性以及與其他單體的相容性,使其在聚合物合成中具有重要價值,並可作為苯乙烯基共聚物和樹脂生產的前體。
根據OICA(國際汽車構造組織)的預測,2022年全球汽車產量將達到8,501萬輛,較2021年的8,020萬輛成長6%。
電子工業的繁榮
電子產業的成長也可能透過電子製造中使用的其他化學品和材料的需求增加而間接影響 AMS 市場。例如,α-甲基苯乙烯用於生產丙烯腈丁二烯苯乙烯(ABS)樹脂,該樹脂因其高抗衝擊性和韌性而用於電子產品。電子產品中 ABS 樹脂需求的增加可能會導致 α-甲基苯乙烯需求的增加。此外,製造商需要確保穩定可靠的 AMS 供應,以滿足電子製造商的需求,從而導致產能和供應鏈最佳化方面的潛在投資。
環境問題和法規
環境法規的快速變化以及對 AMS 環境影響的新擔憂可能會為製造商、投資者和客戶帶來市場不確定性。未來監管要求的不確定性可能會限制對 AMS 產能的投資並抑制長期規劃,導致市場波動和不穩定。如果 AMS 的製造流程或產品不符合出口市場的環境標準,可能會導致貿易限制、關稅和非關稅壁壘,從而阻礙我們進入這些市場或在這些市場競爭的能力。
建築和包裝業的成長
α-甲基苯乙烯用於生產丙烯腈-丁二烯-苯乙烯(ABS)和苯乙烯-丙烯腈(SAN)等樹脂,並因其優異的機械性能、抗衝擊性和多功能性而在包裝應用常用。此外,α-甲基苯乙烯已在黏劑、密封劑和被覆劑等聚合物建築材料中得到應用,促進了整體需求的成長。在電子商務、食品宅配服務和消費品的推動下,包裝產業的擴張正在推動對 AMS 樹脂的需求。
原物料價格波動
原料價格的快速波動可能會擾亂α-甲基苯乙烯供應鏈,導致庫存管理挑戰、生產延誤和供不應求。對不穩定原料市場的依賴可能會使 AMS 製造商面臨與供應鏈中斷、地緣政治事件、自然災害以及其他無法控制的外部因素相關的風險。
COVID-19 的影響
封鎖措施和經濟放緩減少了工業活動,影響了塑膠、黏劑和被覆劑等行業的 AMS 消費。物流和運輸中斷阻礙了原料的供應和產品的分銷,影響了市場運作。然而,AMS 在醫療保健和包裝等關鍵產業的應用提供了一定的彈性。隨著復甦努力、疫苗分發和經濟獎勵策略,市場預計將逐漸恢復穩定,但未來需求模式仍有不確定性。
超過 99.5% 的細分市場預計將成為預測期內最大的細分市場
由於純度高於 99.5% 的 AMS 用於丙烯腈丁二烯苯乙烯 (ABS) 的熱穩定劑、塑膠工業溶劑、黏劑和被覆劑,因此99.5% 及以上的細分市場有望實現良好成長。這些產業對高純度 AMS 的需求不斷成長是推動該領域成長的主要因素。高純度 AMS 也用作塑膠工業、黏劑、被覆劑、蠟和黏合劑的溶劑,以及染料和油漆的增黏劑。
預計電子業在預測期內複合年成長率最高。
電子產業在丙烯腈丁二烯苯乙烯(ABS)樹脂的生產中發揮關鍵作用,預計在預測期內複合年成長率最高。智慧型手機、筆記型電腦和家用電器等消費性電子產品的需求不斷成長,增加了對 ABS 樹脂的需求,從而推動了對 AMS 的需求。電子產業的深度,加上新興經濟體對消費品需求的激增,代表著市場成長的機會。
預計亞太地區在預測期內將佔據最大的市場佔有率。這是因為中國是化學加工中心,佔世界化學產品的大部分。俄烏戰爭後,2022年,化學工業在能源和原物料成本上漲、疫情、經濟不確定性和政治動盪等因素的影響下,全球供應鏈面臨進一步瓶頸。根據BASF《化工產業展望》,預計2023年中國化工產量將小幅下降5.9%。然而,從中期來看,新化工廠建設投資的增加正在支持 AMS 的需求。
預計北美在預測期內將出現最高的複合年成長率,因為 AMS 在這些領域的使用不斷增加,特別是在 ABS 樹脂的生產中,正在促進該行業的成長。此外,政府投資和舉措的增加進一步推動了北美α-甲基苯乙烯市場對 AMS 的需求。 AMS主要用於生產丙烯腈-丁二烯-苯乙烯(ABS)樹脂,該樹脂在汽車和電子行業中有著廣泛的應用。
According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Alpha-Methylstyrene Market is accounted for $570.6 million in 2023 and is expected to reach $792.2 million by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 4.8% during the forecast period. Alpha-Methylstyrene (AMS) is a colorless liquid aromatic compound with a distinctive odour, primarily used as a monomer in the production of plastics, resins, and specialty chemicals. Its polymerization produces poly-alpha-methylstyrene (PAMS), utilized in various applications including adhesives, coatings, and packaging materials. AMS exhibits thermal stability, chemical resistance, and compatibility with other monomers, making it valuable in polymer synthesis, it serves as a precursor in the manufacture of styrene-based copolymers and resins.
According to the Organization Internationale des Constructeurs d'Automobiles (OICA), global automotive vehicle production reached 85.01 million in 2022, with a growth rate of 6% as compared to 80.20 million vehicles manufactured in 2021, thereby indicating an increased demand for alpha methyl styrene from the automotive industry.
Flourishing electronics industry
The electronics industry's growth can also indirectly impact the AMS market through increased demand for other chemicals and materials used in electronics manufacturing. For instance, Alpha-Methylstyrene is used in the production of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) resins, which are utilized in electronics for their high impact resistance and toughness. The increased demand for ABS resins in electronics can lead to higher demand for Alpha-Methylstyrene. Further manufacturers may need to ensure a stable and reliable supply of AMS to meet the requirements of electronics manufacturers, leading to potential investments in production capacity and supply chain optimization.
Environmental concerns and regulations
Rapid changes in environmental regulations or emerging concerns about the environmental impact of AMS can create market uncertainty for manufacturers, investors, and customers. Uncertainty about future regulatory requirements can deter investment in AMS production capacity and discourage long-term planning, leading to market volatility and instability. If AMS production processes or products fail to meet environmental standards in export markets, it can lead to trade restrictions, tariffs, or non-tariff barriers, hindering market access and competitiveness.
Growth in construction and packaging
Alpha-Methylstyrene is utilized in the production of resins such as acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) and styrene-acrylonitrile (SAN), which are commonly used in packaging applications due to their excellent mechanical properties, impact resistance, and versatility. Further alpha-methylstyrene finds applications in polymer-based construction materials like adhesives, sealants, and coatings, contributing to the overall demand growth. The expansion of the packaging industry, driven by e-commerce, food delivery services, and consumer goods, boosts the demand for AMS-based resins.
Price volatility of raw materials
Sharp fluctuations in raw material prices can disrupt the supply chain for Alpha-Methylstyrene, leading to inventory management challenges, production delays, and supply shortages. Dependence on volatile raw material markets can expose AMS manufacturers to risks associated with supply chain disruptions, geopolitical events, natural disasters, and other external factors beyond their control.
Covid-19 Impact
Lockdown measures and economic slowdowns led to reduced industrial activities, affecting AMS consumption in sectors like plastics, adhesives, and coatings. Disruptions in logistics and transportation hindered raw material availability and product distribution, impacting market operations. However, AMS's applications in essential industries such as healthcare and packaging provided some resilience Recovery efforts, vaccine distribution, and economic stimulus packages are expected to gradually restore market stability, albeit with lingering uncertainties about future demand patterns.
The above 99.5% segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
The above 99.5% segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth, as AMS with purity above 99.5% is used as a heat stabilizer for acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), as a solvent in the plastics industry, and in other applications such as adhesives and coatings. The increasing demand for high-purity AMS in these industries is a key factor contributing to the growth of this segment. AMS with high purity is also used as a solvent in the plastics industry and as a dye and paint adhesive agent in adhesives, coatings, waxes, and tackifiers.
The electronics segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
The electronics segment is anticipated to witness the highest CAGR growth during the forecast period, due to its crucial role in the production of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) resins, which find extensive applications in electronic appliances and consumer electronic devices. The increasing demand for consumer electronics such as smartphones, laptops, and home appliances has propelled the need for ABS resins, thereby driving the demand for AMS. The thickening of the electronics industry, coupled with the surging demand for consumer goods from developing economies, acts like an opportunity for the market growth.
Asia Pacific is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period owing to the China is a hub for chemical processing, accounting for a major chunk of global chemicals. Following Russia and Ukraine war, the chemical industry experienced a year marked by further bottlenecks in global supply chains already strained by rising energy and raw material costs, pandemic, economic uncertainty, and political turmoil in 2022. Continuing on the tumultuous grounds, China is expected to register a slightly weaker growth of 5.9% in chemical production in 2023, as per the BASF's chemical industry outlook. However, the increasing investments in the construction of new chemical plants support the demand for AMS in the mid-term.
North America is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period, owing to increasing use of AMS in these sectors, particularly in the production of ABS resins, contributes to the growth of the industry. Additionally rising government investments and initiatives further boost the demand for AMS in North America alpha-methylstyrene market. It is primarily driven by its use in the production of acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) resins, which find extensive applications in the automotive and electronic appliances industries.
