Global styrene-acrylonitrile resins market is expected to experience significant positive growth over the forecast period on account of continuous developments in plastic and medical industries mainly in Asia Pacific. Changing consumer preferences is impacting cosmetics products and battery cases which in turn is expected to positively impact the global market in the coming years. Styrene-acrylonitrile is a copolymer containing 20%-30% acrylonitrile mixed with 70%-80% styrene. Owing to its properties which include high heat resistance, rigidity, accountable processability, excellent chemical resistance, and smooth flow, the product is expected to gain importance globally in the coming years. Products in which SAN is used are generally economically feasible and offers high performance with the ease in production. They also provide hygiene property coupled with safety benefits. All the mentioned properties are expected to propel the global styrene-acrylonitrile (SAN) resins market over the forecast period. Different styrene-acrylonitrile applications are housewares, air conditioner impellers, marine instruments, swimming pool components, and meters covers.
Global styrene-acrylonitrile is segmented on the basis of applications. The application segment includes the cosmetics sector, medical sector, and consumer sector. The consumer sector is further segmented into bottle caps, lamps, calculators, writing materials, and drawing equipment. In the cosmetic sector, SAN is used in lipstick cases and compact cases while in the medical industry they are widely used in medical equipment and dental instruments.
