Sub-Saharan Africa Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene Market Drivers
Increasing usage of acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene in automotive will drive Market Growth
Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) is a high-performance thermoplastic polymer that is widely preferred in the automotive industry. ABS is used in various applications in the automotive industry, including the production of high-quality automotive instrument panels, door liners and handles, dashboard components, seatbacks, and seat belt components, among others. ABS is a cheaper type of plastic than metals and helps automobiles save energy by reducing weight and providing durability, resilience, corrosion resistance, design flexibility, toughness, and high performance at a low cost. Currently, the rising automotive production is primarily driving the demand for acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene in the Sub-Saharan Africa region. For instance, according to the Organization Internationale des Constructeurs d’Automobiles (OICA), the production of motor vehicles in South Africa increased from 610 854 units in 2018 to 631 983 units in 2019. Also, according to the International Trade Administration, the total production of automotive in Nigeria increased from USD 200,000 thousand in 2018 to USD 220,000 thousand in 2019. As a result, the increasing use of acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene with the rising automotive production is projected to enhance the market’s growth over the forecast period.
The establishment of new electrical & electronic plants in the Sub-Saharan Africa region is estimated to drive the demand for acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene
In the Sub-Saharan Africa region, acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) is increasingly used to make enclosures for electrical assemblies. ABS provides several benefits, including improved flame resistance, structural strength, and flexibility. It is used in various formulations to provide impact resistance, toughness, and resistance to mixed corrosive media, including water, salts, food acids, inorganic acids, and alkali. As a result, it is also the preferred material for most electrical insulating applications. The acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene thermoplastic polymer is most frequently used to make keyboards in electronic devices such as PCs and laptops. The rising growth of the new electronic plant will drive the market growth. For instance, in January 2020, Telone has opened its first manufacturing facility for laptops, desktops, and tablets In Zimbabwe. Also, in May 2020, Panasonic established an electronic assembly plant in Nigeria. Thus, new electrical & electronic plants in the Sub-Saharan Africa region have raised the demand for acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene.

Sub-Saharan Africa Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene Market Challenges
Rising Growth of Alternatives is affecting the growth of the market
Various end-use sectors have seen a significant increase in demand for acrylonitrile butadiene styrene. However, this has resulted in the development and introduction of market substitutes. SBR (styrene-butadiene rubber) is one of these replacements, and it serves as a market restraint. SBR has rubber qualities, such as excellent abrasion resistance, which are important in tire manufacture and other vehicle parts. Also, Styrene-butadiene rubber outperforms acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), in terms of strength, abrasion resistance, and blend compatibility. The addition of chemicals improves these qualities even more. Furthermore, Tires and tire products, automobile parts, and mechanical rubber items are the major applications for styrene butadiene rubber. As a result, the rising growth of alternatives may stymie the growth of the Sub-Saharan Africa acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene market.
