Concise Analysis of the International Styrenics Market: Polystyrene, Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene, SBR, UPR - Forecasts to 2018
M2 - Fri Feb 07, 5:20AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/bl5g42/styrenics_market) has announced the addition of the "Concise Analysis of the International Styrenics Market: Polystyrene, Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene, SBR, UPR - Forecasts to 2018" report to their offering. The global market for styrenics is witnessing a high growth on account of emerging construction and packaging industries. This has resulted in increasing demand for infrastructure facilities and consumer goods, especially in regions such as the Asia-Pacific. The market is highly diversified with large number of players operating in different regions. Polystyrene (PS), Expanded Polystyrene (EPS), Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS), Styrene Butadiene Rubber (SBR), and Unsaturated Polyester Resin (UPR) are the main styrenics showing high growth potential. Other polymers such as Extruded Polystyrene (XPS), Styrene Acrylonitrile (SAN), Styrene Butadiene Latex (SBL), etc. have limited applications and are set to record a lower growth rate. Styrene is highly volatile and when exposed, can be hazardous causing irritation to eyes, skin, respiratory system problems, dizziness, nervous system depression, etc. On incomplete combustion, it produces carbon monoxide and emits hazardous vapors on decomposition. The styrene-based polymers are non-biodegradable and need to be burned which can increase the explosion risks. These environmental and health concerns are the major restraints for styrenics market. However, absence of competitive substitutes which can replace styrenics is motivation for companies to continuously invest in this market. Asia-Pacific is identified as the largest market as well as the highest growing region in the next five years among all the global markets. Key Topics Covered: 1 Introduction 2 Executive Summary 3 Premium Insights 4 Market Overview 5 Polystyrene (PS) & Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) 6 Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) 7 Styrene Butadiene Rubber (SBR) 8 Unsaturated Polyester Resin (UPR) 9 Styrenics Market, By Geography 10 Competitive Landscape 11 Company Profiles Companies Mentioned: - Alpek SAB DE CV - Asahi Kasei Corporation - Ashland Inc - BASF - Bayer Materialscience - CCP Composites - ENI SPA - Ineos Group AG - Lanxess AG - Nizhnekamskneftekhim OAO - Nova Chemicals Corporation - Reichhold Inc - Repsol SA - Royal DSM - Sabic - Sibur - Styrolution Group GMBH - Styron LIC - Synthos SA - The Dow Chemical Company - Total SA For more information visit http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/bl...ics_market

Concise Analysis of the International Styrenics Market: Polystyrene, Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene, SBR, UPR - Forecasts to 2018
M2 - Fri Feb 07, 5:20AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/bl5g42/styrenics_market) has announced the addition of the "Concise Analysis of the International Styrenics Market: Polystyrene, Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene, SBR, UPR - Forecasts to 2018" report to their offering. The global market for styrenics is witnessing a high growth on account of emerging construction and packaging industries. This has resulted in increasing demand for infrastructure facilities and consumer goods, especially in regions such as the Asia-Pacific. The market is highly diversified with large number of players operating in different regions. Polystyrene (PS), Expanded Polystyrene (EPS), Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS), Styrene Butadiene Rubber (SBR), and Unsaturated Polyester Resin (UPR) are the main styrenics showing high growth potential. Other polymers such as Extruded Polystyrene (XPS), Styrene Acrylonitrile (SAN), Styrene Butadiene Latex (SBL), etc. have limited applications and are set to record a lower growth rate. Styrene is highly volatile and when exposed, can be hazardous causing irritation to eyes, skin, respiratory system problems, dizziness, nervous system depression, etc. On incomplete combustion, it produces carbon monoxide and emits hazardous vapors on decomposition. The styrene-based polymers are non-biodegradable and need to be burned which can increase the explosion risks. These environmental and health concerns are the major restraints for styrenics market. However, absence of competitive substitutes which can replace styrenics is motivation for companies to continuously invest in this market. Asia-Pacific is identified as the largest market as well as the highest growing region in the next five years among all the global markets. Key Topics Covered: 1 Introduction 2 Executive Summary 3 Premium Insights 4 Market Overview 5 Polystyrene (PS) & Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) 6 Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) 7 Styrene Butadiene Rubber (SBR) 8 Unsaturated Polyester Resin (UPR) 9 Styrenics Market, By Geography 10 Competitive Landscape 11 Company Profiles Companies Mentioned: - Alpek SAB DE CV - Asahi Kasei Corporation - Ashland Inc - BASF - Bayer Materialscience - CCP Composites - ENI SPA - Ineos Group AG - Lanxess AG - Nizhnekamskneftekhim OAO - Nova Chemicals Corporation - Reichhold Inc - Repsol SA - Royal DSM - Sabic - Sibur - Styrolution Group GMBH - Styron LIC - Synthos SA - The Dow Chemical Company - Total SA For more information visit http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/bl...ics_market

It is soluble in alcohol and ether but insoluble in water, and is polymerized easily in the presence of oxygen. It is obtained as a byproduct of the manufacture of ethylene and propylene by selective distillation of cracked naphtha or gas oil stream. Butadiene is an important feedstock to manufacture chemicals and materials that further serve diverse industries including automotive, paints, textile, appliance manufacturing and others. Its main application segments include Styrene-Butadiene Rubber SBR, Polybutadiene Rubber (PBR), Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene Resins (ABS), Styrene Butadiene Latex (SB Latex), Adiponitrile, and Nitrile Rubber (NR). This market has grown considerably during the past few years and is expected to grow at a rapid pace in the next five years, driven by growing demand in the Asia-Pacific region. Asia-Pacific is the biggest consumer of butadiene, followed by Europe and North America, which consumed more than half of the total global demand in 2012. China is the biggest consumer of butadiene, and is also among the fastest growing markets with a CAGR of about 6.2% from 2013 to 2018. The European and North American markets are comparatively mature with a demand growth well below the average market growth.
