Global Acrylonitrile Market is valued at approximately USD 11.87 billion in 2021 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 1.3% over the forecast period 2022-2029. Acrylonitrile, often known as CH2CHCN, is a colorless volatile liquid. It is an organic substance that can turn yellow due to the presence of impurities. It is made using an ammoxidation process in which propylene, ammonia, and air are reacted at high temperatures in the presence of a catalyst. Plastics like ABS, SAN, ASA, and acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber are produced using acrylonitrile, a highly reactive and potentially dangerous monomer. The demand for plastics used in the construction and automotive industries is growing, in part because of the qualities of durability, thermal stability, chemical resistance, and high strength that these materials possess. This is the main driver of the acrylonitrile market’s expansion.

In addition, Acrylonitrile is primarily used in the manufacturing of plastics such as acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, acrylonitrile styrene acrylate, styrene-acrylonitrile, and others. The high demand for these plastics from the construction, automotive, and other industries is anticipated to drive the acrylonitrile market. In 2021, global plastics output was projected to reach 390.7 million metric tons, representing a 4% yearly rise. The extraordinary adaptability of this category of materials explains why manufacturing continues to rise year after year. Further driving this market is the increased demand for plastics from various end-use industries. According to Statista, the worldwide plastics market was projected to be valued at $593 billion in 2021. The plastics industry is expected to develop in the following years, reaching a value of more than 810 billion US dollars by 2030, with a CAGR of 3.7 per cent from 2022 to 2030. Furthermore, the high demand for acrylonitrile in the automotive industry, coupled with its application in budding wastewater treatment is presenting lucrative opportunities for market growth over the forthcoming years. However, Competition in the Textile Industry from Cheap Polyester Fibers is restricting the market growth over the forecast period of 2022-2029.

The key regions considered for the Global Acrylonitrile Market study include Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and Rest of the World. The Asia Pacific dominated the market in terms of revenue, owing to the increased need for construction materials due to the expanding construction sector, and the industry is expected to benefit from rising demand from the textile and home furnishings industries. Whereas, Asia Pacific is also expected to grow at the highest growth rate over the forecasting period. Factors such as strong market players and new developments in products are burgeoning the market growth in the forecasting years.
