Market Overview

Acrylonitrile styrene acrylate (ASA) exists as a high-performance thermoplastic terpolymer that combines three different polymer components to create a material with superior UV protection, weather resistance, and impact resistance, which makes it suitable for outdoor use. The automotive industry uses it to manufacture exterior mirror housings, grilles and pillar covers, while the construction industry uses it for siding, roofing and window profiles, and the consumer goods sector uses it for garden furniture and appliance housings. The market experiences development through urbanization trends in emerging markets, the growing need for long-lasting materials that maintain their color and the increasing use of lightweight materials in electric vehicles.

The EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) will implement its complete legal requirements in February 2025, with full enforcement starting in mid-2026 to establish standards for plastic materials that require better recycling and recycled content and waste reduction. The initiative focuses on packaging materials, but it creates better business incentives for companies to switch to sustainable packaging solutions that require long-lasting, recyclable materials such as acrylonitrile styrene acrylate (ASA). The market presents substantial business potential through its development of 3D printing and sustainable bio-based ASA resin production, and adoption of high-gloss, eco-friendly products. LG Chem and INEOS Styrolution, Chi Mei Corporation, SABIC and BASF SE operate as key global market players who concentrate their efforts on developing new products and expanding their production facilities throughout Asia-Pacific while implementing sustainability programs.
