Alpha Methyl-Styrene Market Size, Share, Competitive Landscape and Trend Analysis Report by Purity, by Application and by Industry Vertical : Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2023-2032

Alpha Methyl-Styrene Market Analysis:

Alpha methyl Styrene is an inorganic colorless liquid with a distinctive odor. It is also known as Isopropyl benzene. Alpha methyl styrene is produced as a byproduct during the cumene oxidation reaction during the manufacturing of phenol. It is used as an intermediate in the production of various resins such as acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, plasticizers and polymers, and is also used as adhesives in different industries. 

COVID-19 scenario analysis:

• The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has severely affected the global alpha methyl-styrene market to a great extent
• The automobile industry is one of the sectors that have been the most severely affected by the pandemic. Thus, being a major end-user industry, it has thereby affected the alpha methyl-styrene market to a great extent.

Top impacting factors: Market Scenario Analysis, Trends, Drivers and Impact Analysis

The rapid growth in the manufacturing sector and the wide range of applications of alpha methyl-styrene in different industries have played an important role in the growth of the global alpha-methyl styrene market. Alpha methyl styrene is extensively used in the production of protective gears and several other automobile manufacturing applications. It is also used as an intermediate for the production of chemicals such as acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, which is widely used in the automobile and electronics industries. Alpha methyl styrene is also used in the manufacture of plastic additive, adhesives, plasticizers and others, owing to its superior heat and impact resistance.

However, alpha methyl styrene does not react well with strong oxidizing agents like copper and mercury. In addition, its toxic effects on the human body and the hazardous gases emitted on burning alpha methyl styrene are expected to act as restraining factors for the market.

The Asia-Pacific region holds the largest share in the alpha methyl-styrene market catering to the rapid growth in the automotive and chemical industries. The market in the North America region is also anticipated to grow at a significant pace with the rapid developments in industries in the emerging economies like India and China.
