Alpha Methyl Styrene Market to represent a significant expansion at 6.1% CAGR by 2026

Global industry analysis

The Alpha Methyl Styrene (AMS) market is experiencing an upswing in recent years. According to a report by Persistence Market Research, it is estimated that the Alpha Methyl Styrene market will display an impressive compound annual growth rate of 6.1% globally by 2026.

The chemical formula for alpha-methylstyrene (CAS # 98-83-0) is C6H5C(CH3)CH2. Also called isopropenylbenzene. This chemical molecule is clear, colorless, and has a strong odor. This substance is formed by the partial oxidation of cumene and is a by-product of the cumene-phenol process that converts benzene to phenol and acetone.

Alpha-methylstyrene production capacity and total phenol production capacity are very closely linked worldwide. Alpha-methylstyrene is used in many forms in many industries including plastics, adhesives and chemicals. Alpha-methyl styrene is used in the plastics industry to make resins such as ABS or acrylonitrile butadiene styrene.

When used to make ABS resin, Alpha-methyl styrene imparts a relatively high thermal stability to the resin and therefore a relatively high impact strength compared to that obtained using styrene. Alpha-methylstyrene is also used as a plastic additive. Alpha-methylstyrene is also used in the production of lubricants, perfumes, and plasticizers.

Alpha-Methylstyrene Market: Drivers and Restraints

The global alpha-methylstyrene market is expected to register steady single-digit growth over the forecast period. The increase in alpha-methylstyrene consumption is expected to be primarily driven by growing demand from emerging economies such as China and India.

Alpha-methyl styrene is predominantly used in the manufacture of ABS resins as increasing demand from end-use industries is expected to drive the growth of the global alpha-methyl styrene market during the forecast period.

Additionally, increasing demand from the chemical industry that uses alpha-methylstyrene as an intermediate is expected to propel the growth of the global alpha-methylstyrene market over the forecast period. However, relatively weak economic growth in major markets worldwide during the forecast period is expected to hamper the growth of the global alpha-methylstyrene market over the same period.

Alpha-Methylstyrene Market: Segmentation

Based on application of alpha-methyl styrene, the global alpha-methyl styrene market can be segmented into the following major market segments:

• ABS structure
• Plastic additives
• Glue
• Chemical intermediate
• Other

Among the above application-based segments, the ABS manufacturing segment is expected to account for a prominent share of the total alpha-methylstyrene market size during the forecast period.

Alpha-Methylstyrene Market: Regional Outlook

On the basis of geography, the global alpha-methylstyrene market is segmented into seven major market segments: North America, Latin America, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, Asia Pacific, Japan, and Middle East & Africa. Of these, Asia Pacific accounted for a significant portion of total alpha-methylstyrene consumption worldwide in 2014.  The APAC region is expected to witness a steady increase in consumption over the forecast period.
