Key Trends:

Lightweighting in Electric Vehicles
ABS grades reinforced with glass fibers and other additives are increasingly used to replace metal components in electric vehicles (EVs). These grades support weight reduction of up to 40% and cost savings close to 20% for parts such as battery housings, brackets, and interior elements. This shift toward metal replacement is expected to add roughly 1.2 percentage points to global ABS market growth

Boom in Smart Homes and Appliances
Rising demand for consumer electronics and smart-home products with glossy, heat-stable finishes is bolstering ABS use. Well-suited for housings and internal components, these new appliances drive market growth by around 0.9 percentage points in regions like North America, Europe, and urban Asia-Pacific

Desktop 3D Printing Expansion
ABS remains a popular filament material in desktop 3D printers, valued for prototyping and durable end-use parts. While warping issues persist, enclosure solutions and improved formulation are boosting adoption-adding 0.7 percentage points to the market growth forecast

Flame-Retardant and Electroplatable Grades

Regulatory demand for flame-retardant components in automotive interiors and surge in 5G infrastructure are strengthening markets for specialized ABS grades. These segments contribute approximately 0.8 and 0.6 percentage points, respectively, to projected CAGR
