ABS Plastic Sheet Market Definition
ABS plastic sheets are polymer thermoplastics made of three monomers: acrylonitrile, butadiene, and styrene. These sheets are high-quality, light but rigid, and heat-resistant. They can be easily molded into components such as pipes, automotive parts, headgear, and more. ABS plastic sheets have applications in various sectors, including electronics, automotive, medicine, and musical instruments. They are also used to produce toys such as LEGO bricks.
Structure
The global ABS plastic sheets market is segmented by heat resistance into medium heat resistance and high heat resistance. By application, the market is segmented into automotive, electronic products, and others. Major players in the ABS plastic sheets market include BASF, GE Plastics, Kumho Chemical, Mitsubishi Chemical, Techno Polymer, Mitsui Chemicals, Sumitomo, Dow Chemical, and RenqiuXingda.
Additional Information
The ABS plastic sheets market is driven by a rise in e-commerce and increasing consumption of electronics, automotive components, appliances, and medical equipment where the material is used. ABS plastic is used for automotive components such as door covers, dashboards, and steering wheel covers. It is also used in manufacturing medical equipment such as nebulizers, compressors, and drug delivery trolleys. In electronics, ABS plastic is used to make hardware components such as keyboard caps, mice, and phone cases. However, the chemicals and materials sector is increasingly facing supply chain disruptions caused by changes in the raw material market. Despite this, the advent of 3D printing is a major opportunity in the market. The recyclable nature of the plastic makes it an environmentally sustainable choice compared to other plastic polymers.
