Acrylonitrile Market in Europe: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges

The increasing demand for acrylonitrile from the automotive industry is notably driving the acrylonitrile market growth in Europe, although factors such as health hazards caused by acrylonitrile may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the acrylonitrile industry in Europe. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.

Key Acrylonitrile Market Driver in Europe

One of the key factors driving growth in the Europe acrylonitrile market growth is the increasing demand for acrylonitrile from the automotive industry. Acrylonitrile is the primary raw material used to manufacture plastics, elastomers, and synthetic fibers. It is one of the major substitutes for metal components as well. Currently, the automotive industry in Europe is the largest consumer of acrylonitrile. Auto manufacturers are focusing on manufacturing lightweight, fuel-efficient, and environment-friendly automobiles to comply with stringent environmental regulations on vehicular emissions. Major automotive manufacturing countries in Europe, such as Germany, France, and Italy, use acrylonitrile in the form of plastics in various automotive components. The above-mentioned countries have large manufacturing facilities for automotive production. The increasing production of vehicles will lead to a rise in the demand for acrylonitrile in Europe.

Key Acrylonitrile Market Trend in Europe

The increasing carbon fiber production is another factor supporting the Europe acrylonitrile market share growth. Carbon fiber is a long, thin, strong, and lightweight material that is made from polyacrylonitrile (PAN), an organic polymer. Acrylonitrile is the primary raw material for producing PAN. Approximately 90% of carbon fibers are made from PAN, and the rest are made of rayon or petroleum pitch. Carbon fiber is stronger and lighter than steel. It is extensively used in the aerospace and defense, sports and leisure, wind energy, and automotive sectors. The increasing demand for carbon fibers in the aerospace and defense, sports, and leisure sectors will drive the demand for acrylonitrile during the forecast period. In the aerospace industry, carbon fibers are used to manufacture structures and components for aircraft and spacecraft. The applications include hot air balloon gondolas and gliders, passenger airliners, fighter planes, and space shuttles. The increasing demand for carbon fibers from the major application segments will drive the consumption of acrylonitrile

Key Acrylonitrile Market Challenge in Europe

The health hazards caused by acrylonitrile will be a major challenge for the Europe acrylonitrile market growth during the forecast period. ABS is a polymer manufactured by the polymerization of acrylonitrile and styrene polymers in the presence of polybutadiene rubber. Acrylonitrile is one of the raw materials of ABS and is identified as hazardous by the European Chemical Agency (ECHA). It is released into the air and wastewater during the industrial production and consumption of ABS. Inhalation of acrylonitrile is hazardous and affects workers in production units and warehouse storage areas. The release of acrylonitrile into the aquatic environment can pose major risks to aquatic species. Therefore, health hazards caused by acrylonitrile can reduce the growth of the acrylonitrile market in Europe.

This acrylonitrile market in Europe analysis report also provides detailed information on other upcoming trends and challenges that will have a far-reaching effect on the market growth. The actionable insights on the trends and challenges will help companies evaluate and develop growth strategies for 2022-2026.
