The acrylonitrile market was valued at over 6 million ton in 2020, and the market is projected to register a CAGR of over 5% during the forecast period 2026.

DUBLIN, IRELAND, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES, September 27, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Soaring demand for acrylic fiber for the manufacturing of plastics and composites will drive the demand for acrylonitrile. Acrylonitrile is also one of the primary raw materials in the production of plastics and composites, which is further anticipated to propel its global demand.

Manufacturers are aiming at capacity expansion by forging strategic partnerships with raw material vendors. The global acrylonitrile market will grow 1.6X from 2019 to 2029.

The U.S. is one of the major producers and the largest exporter of acrylonitrile mainly due to the abundant availability of the raw material. According to the Trade Map, the U.S. exported 504,271 tons of the product in 2018, which accounted to almost 31% of the global exports. One of the primary reasons for the U.S. to dominate the export market is the fall in the prices of propylene, which eventually reduced the cost of acrylonitrile in the country.

The acrylonitrile market was valued at over 6 million ton in 2020, and the market is projected to register a CAGR of over 5% during the forecast period (2021-2026).

Key Market Trends of Rising Demand from Acrylonitrile Market Application

• The automotive industry is the largest consumer of acrylonitrile. The growing production of vehicles in major automotive manufacturing countries such as Germany, France, China, Japan, South Korea, India, Italy, and the US will augment the demand for acrylonitrile.

• More than 90% of acrylamide is used in the manufacture of polyacrylamides (PAM). They are organic flocculants, and their use is as wastewater treatment agents. PAM is also used as dewatering and conditioning aids for sludge, in industrial operations such as in pulp and paper plants, and thickening of waste sludge in municipal sewage treatment.

• Acrylic fibers are man-made fibers based on polyacrylonitrile produced by addition polymerization of acrylonitrile. Acrylic fiber is produced with two different systems: dry spinning and wet spinning. They can be supplied as producer-dyed either with jel dyeing systems or by pigmentation of the dope. It can be used completely alone or in blends with other natural and synthetic fibers.

• Acrylonitrile is increasingly used as a raw material in the manufacture of plastics and composites. Plastics are extensively used in pillar trims, instrument panels, door liners and handles, dashboard, and seat belt components because of its lightweight property.
