Acrylonitrile Market size is expected to reach USD 19 Billion by the end of 2036, growing at a CAGR of 4% during the forecast period, i.e., 2024-2036. In the year 2023, the industry size of acrylonitrile was over USD 12 Billion. The industry is predicted to be driven by the growing need for acrylonitrile in the building sector. Acrylonitrile demand is being driven by the expanding construction industry, which is expected to have a favorable impact on industrial growth. Derivatives of acrylonitrile are used in the construction sector to make products such as nitrile rubber, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, acrylic fiber, acrylamide, and carbon fiber. Spending on construction as a whole was USD 1.98 trillion in August 2023, 7.4% more than the previous year.
Furthermore, it is anticipated that acrylonitrile will discover new uses due to technical breakthroughs, such as the creation of bio-based acrylonitrile. Since bio-based acrylonitrile is produced using renewable resources, such as waste materials and biomass, it is thought to be a more sustainable option than regular acrylonitrile. It is anticipated that the acrylonitrile market will see new opportunities as a result of the increased demand for sustainable products, which will fuel the expansion of bio-based acrylonitrile.
