α-メチルスチレン(AMS)の需要増が重要な市場促進要因として浮上しています。AMS樹脂は、自動車の外枠、電化製品のハウジング、保護コーティングの製造に利用されています。世界の自動車部門は、インドやブラジルなどの新興市場での消費増に牽引され、近年大きく成長しています。
例えば、インド・ブランド・エクイティ財団は、2022年までにインドが世界の主要自動車市場のひとつとなり、年間2,293万台の自動車が生産されると予測しています。電気自動車市場の台頭は、今後数年間、世界の自動車市場を牽引すると思われます。新興国の消費財需要の増加が市場拡大に寄与します。
2023年には、北米がα-メチルスチレンの世界市場の20%以上を占め、2番目に優位な地域になると予想されます。北米の大手AMSメーカーは、AMSベースの製品に対する需要の増加に対応するため、生産能力の拡大、設備の近代化、研究開発プロジェクトに投資しています。戦略的投資により、同地域の生産能力、製品品質、市場競争力が強化されています。
ダイナミクス
接着剤需要の拡大と厳しい規制
主要地域の建設、自動車、製造セクターは、接着、シーリング、組み立ての用途で接着剤やシーリング材に依存しています。α-メチルスチレンは、熱や化学薬品に強い特殊な接着剤やシーリング剤を作るのに使われるモノマーです。接着剤とシーリング剤の需要増加が、この地域のAMS産業を牽引しています。
世界的に厳しい規制基準や環境制限があるため、様々な事業で持続可能で環境に優しい材料の使用が促進されています。α-メチルスチレンベースの製品は、VOC排出量の削減、リサイクル可能性、環境要件への適合といった利点を備えており、規制への適合を求めるメーカーに広く使用されています。
電気自動車生産の増加
電気自動車の生産台数の増加は、α-メチルスチレンの市場需要を増加させると予想されます。例えば、EV Volumesによると、2022年にはBEVとPHEVが新たに1,050万台供給され、2021年から55%増加します。ドイツは欧州有数の自動車メーカーです。
ドイツ自動車工業会によると、2022年7月のドイツの自動車生産台数は26万3,400台で、2021年の同時期から7%増加しました。さらに、ドイツでは電気自動車の需要が高まっています。複数の企業が国内で生産する電気自動車の数を増やしています。2023年6月、フォードはドイツのハイテク製造工場であるケルン電気自動車センターの開設を発表しました。
環境問題と価格変動
揮発性有機化合物(VOC)と大気汚染を規制する環境規制は、α-メチルスチレンの製造と使用を制限する可能性があります。厳しい排出規制を遵守するためには、汚染防止システムの導入が必要となり、AMSメーカーの製造コストが上昇する可能性があります。
クメンやスチレンなどα-メチルスチレンの製造に必要な原材料の価格は、原油価格の変動や需給関係などの要因により変動する可能性があります。原料価格の変動は、AMSメーカーのコスト競争力や収益性に影響を与える可能性があります。同じ品質を持つより低コストの代替品が入手可能になれば、特に価格に敏感な分野では、α-メチルスチレンの市場成長が制限される可能性があります。
Overview
Global Alpha-Methylstyrene Market reached US$ 431.2 Million in 2023 and is expected to reach US$ 550.4 Million by 2031, growing with a CAGR of 3.1% during the forecast period 2024-2031.
The increasing demand for Alpha-Methylstyrene (AMS) has emerged as a significant market driver. AMS resins are utilized in the manufacture of car exterior frames, electronic appliance housings and protective coating. The global automobile sector has grown significantly in recent years, driven by rising consumption in emerging markets such as India and Brazil.
For example, the Indian Brand Equity Foundation predicts that by 2022, the country would be one of the world's major automobile markets, producing 22.93 million vehicles per year. The rise of the electric vehicle market is likely to drive the global automotive market in the coming years. Increased demand for consumer goods from emerging economies contributes to market expansion.
In 2023, North America is expected to be the second-dominant region with over 20% of the global alpha-methylstyrene market. Leading AMS producers in North America are investing in capacity expansions, facility modernization and R&D projects to accommodate the growing demand for AMS-based products. Strategic investments boost production capacities, product quality and market competitiveness in the region.
Dynamics
Growing Demand from Adhesives & Stringent Regulations
The major areas' construction, automotive and manufacturing sectors rely on adhesives and sealants for bonding, sealing and assembly applications. Alpha-Methylstyrene is a monomer used to make specialist adhesives and sealants that are resistant to heat and chemicals. Rising demand for adhesives and sealants drives the region's AMS industry.
Stringent regulatory standards and environmental restrictions globally promote the use of sustainable and eco-friendly materials in a variety of businesses. Alpha-Methylstyrene-based products offer benefits such as reduced VOC emissions, recyclability and conformance with environmental requirements, making them widely used for manufacturers seeking regulatory compliance.
Rising Production of Electric Vehicles
The increased manufacturing of electric vehicles is expected to increase market demand for alpha-methylstyrene. For example, according to EV Volumes, 10.5 million new BEVs and PHEVs were supplied in 2022, up 55% from 2021. Germany is one of Europe's leading automotive manufacturers.
In accordance to the German Association of the Automotive Industry, Germany produced 263,400 cars in July 2022, up 7% from the same time in 2021. Furthermore, the demand for electric vehicles is rising in Germany. Several companies are boosting the number of electric vehicles produced in the country. In June 2023, Ford announced the opening of the Cologne Electric Vehicle Center, a high-tech manufacturing plant in Germany.
Environmental Concerns and Price Volatility
Environmental restrictions governing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and air pollution can limit the manufacturing and usage of alpha-methylstyrene. Compliance with severe emissions rules may need expenditures in pollution control systems, raising manufacturing costs for AMS manufacturers.
The price of raw materials needed in the production of alpha-methylstyrene, such as cumene and styrene, might fluctuate due to factors such as crude oil price changes and supply-demand dynamics. The fluctuation of raw material prices can have an impact on AMS manufacturers' cost competitiveness and profitability. The availability of lower-cost alternatives with identical qualities may limit market growth for alpha-methylstyrene, especially in price-sensitive sectors.
The global alpha-methylstyrene market is segmented based on purity, application, end-user and region.
Rising Automotive Production Drives the Segment Growth
Automotive is expected to be the dominant segment with over 30% of the market during the forecast period 2024-2031. Alpha methyl styrene is an intermediary in the manufacturing of ABS resin. Furthermore, ABS plastic is employed as an alternative metal in the automotive industry. ABS thermoplastic is used in a variety of automobile parts that aim to reduce weight.
ABS is widely used in dashboard components, seat backs, seat belt components, handles, door locks, pillar trim and instrument panels. Based on data from the Organization Internationale des Constructeurs d'Automobiles, global automotive production reached 85.01 million in 2022, a 6% increase from 80.20 million vehicles manufactured in 2021, indicating a rise in demand for alpha methyl styrene from the automotive industry.
Rising Demand for Tires in Asia-Pacific
Asia-Pacific is expected to be the dominant region in the global alpha-methylstyrene market covering over 30% of the market. According to data issued by the National Bureau of Statistics, China's tire sector is expanding rapidly, reflecting rising demand for tires both domestically and internationally. In accordance to the National Bureau of Statistics of China, as of May 2023, China manufactures approximately 6 million metric tons of plastic items per month.
According to IBEF, total plastics exports between April and September 2022 were US$ 6.38 billion. Compared to the same period previous year, exports of plastic raw materials, medical goods and pipes and fittings climbed by 32.3%, 24.8% and 17.9%, respectively. Thus, increased demand from various industries is likely to drive the market in the region throughout the forecast period.
The major global players in the market include AdvanSix, Altivia, Cepsa, Domo Chemicals, INEOS Group, Kraton Corporation, KUMHO P&B CHEMICALS, Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation, Prasol Chemicals Limited and Solvay.
The pandemic caused changes in demand for AMS and AMS-derived goods due to interruptions in a variety of end-user industries. Industries such as automotive, construction and manufacturing faced slowdowns or shutdowns, resulting in lower demand for chemicals such as AMS utilized in their manufacturing processes. Lockdowns, travel restrictions and border closures affected global supply lines, hurting the production and distribution of AMS and raw materials used to manufacture it.
Transportation delays, significant ingredient shortages and logistics issues hampered AMS availability and had an impact on market dynamics. The pandemic has accelerated trends such as remote labor, e-commerce expansion and consumer behavior changes, resulting in adjustments in demand for AMS and AMS-derived products. For example, growing demand for online shopping and hygiene items drove up demand for styrene-based resins made from AMS.
Russia-Ukraine War Impact
Russia and Ukraine are key manufacturers of raw materials and chemicals, including those required in the production of alpha-methylstyrene. Any disruption in the supply chain caused by the conflict, including transportation bottlenecks or production shutdowns, resulted in key ingredient shortages and have an influence on the global availability of AMS. The instability in the region caused variations in the prices of raw materials and energy sources utilized in the manufacturing of AMS.
Uncertainty in supply chains and geopolitical conflicts led to price volatility in the AMS market, which affects both manufacturers and customers. Geopolitical tensions caused uncertainty in global markets, reducing investor confidence and resulting in cautious spending and investment decisions. Companies in the AMS sector postponed expansion plans or investments in new projects until there is more clarity and stability in the region.
