China ABS Market Set for Growth Through 2030 as Capacity Expansion, Operating Efficiency, End-Use Demand and Foreign Trade Reshape Competitive Opportunities

China’s ABS demand is driven by automotive, electronics, electrical equipment and consumer goods manufacturing, creating supplier opportunities as production and supply chains recover.


Dublin, Sept. 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- "China Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene Market Analysis: Capacity By Companyby Company, Operating Efficiency, Capacity By Process, Capacity By Technology, Demand By Sales Channel, Demand By End Use, Demand By Region, Company Share, Foreign Trade 2015-2030" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

China's acrylonitrile butadiene styrene market demand stood at 1,250 thousand tonnes in 2020 and is forecast to reach 2,301 thousand tonnes by 2030, expanding at a compound annual growth rate of 6.45%. Market growth is expected to be supported by rising demand from the automotive, electrical and electronics, consumer goods, and broader manufacturing industries.

China's position as a major global manufacturing hub continues to strengthen the outlook for acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, commonly identified as ABS. The country has established large-scale automotive, electronics, electrical equipment, appliance, and consumer goods industries, all of which contribute significantly to ABS consumption. Continued industrial development, expanding manufacturing capacity, and demand for durable engineered materials are expected to sustain market growth throughout the forecast period.

The automotive sector represents a major source of China ABS market demand. Rising per capita income, vehicle ownership, urbanization, and the continued development of domestic automotive manufacturing are supporting consumption across vehicle interiors, exterior components, and other applications. Demand from electrical and electronic equipment manufacturers is also expected to rise as China maintains its leading role in global electronics production and supply chains.

The COVID-19 pandemic caused substantial disruption to the Chinese economy and the domestic ABS market. Manufacturing facilities experienced temporary shutdowns, while transportation restrictions and government measures affected imports, exports, distribution networks, and industrial operations. Although pharmaceutical and healthcare production remained active, market activity across several non-essential manufacturing segments declined. Following these disruptions, the China acrylonitrile butadiene styrene market is expected to maintain a steady recovery and record sustained growth through 2030.
