The price of styrene-acrylonitrile (SAN) resin in the United States for 2023 reached 2055 USD/MT in December. The market in North America faced challenges due to oversupply and reduced overseas demand, particularly in packaging and household manufacturing.
Meanwhile, the price trend for SAN resin in South Korea reached 1287 USD/MT in December 2023. The market witnessed a bearish trend due to high supply and repeated material surges from manufacturing units, resulting in oversupply. The persistent weakness in styrene fundamentals and lower energy prices decreased production costs, prompting suppliers to offer discounts.
Furthermore, in Germany, SAN resin reached 2329 USD/MT in December 2023. The market saw a stable to bearish trend. Additionally, oversupply from manufacturing units and moderate demand from packaging and consumer goods sectors led to declining prices. Stable supply persisted, but diminished demand from electronics and industrial equipment sectors drove prices down.

Styrene Acrylonitrile Resin Market Analysis
The global styrene acrylonitrile resin market size reached 714.15 Thousand Tons in 2023. By 2032, IMARC Group expects the market to reach 1034.19 Thousand Tons, at a projected CAGR of 4.20% during 2023-2032.
- The increasing use of SAN resin in the automotive and aerospace industries, where it is valued for its lightweight properties to contribute to improved fuel efficiency and performance, represents the key factor driving the market growth.
- Similarly, the thermal stability of SAN resin ensures that it can maintain its properties at elevated temperatures. This has further heightened its demand in applications that involve exposure to heat, such as in automotive under-the-hood components or household appliances, thereby fostering market expansion. SAN’s ability to withstand higher temperatures without deforming or losing integrity enhances its suitability for demanding environments.
- Besides this, SAN resin offers high impact resistance, making it suitable for products that require durability and toughness. This characteristic is especially beneficial in the production of protective gear, safety equipment, and consumer electronics housings, thus aiding the market growth.
- Moreover, the ease with which SAN can be processed, molded, and extruded using standard plastic processing techniques such as injection molding and extrusion is another significant growth driver. This versatility in processing allows manufacturers to produce complex shapes and designs efficiently, reducing production costs and time.
- Besides this, SAN resin provides an excellent surface finish, which is important for products requiring a high-quality appearance. Its glossy and smooth surface enhances the visual appeal of consumer goods, such as home appliances and cosmetic containers, thus bolstering the market growth.
- Another factor bolstering the market demand is its cost-effectiveness compared to other high-performance plastics. SAN’s lower material cost, along with its efficient processing capabilities, makes it an attractive option for manufacturers looking to balance performance with budget constraints.
- Furthermore, the widespread product utilization in outdoor applications like garden furniture, playground equipment, and outdoor signage due to its excellent resistance to ultraviolet (UV) light is propelling the market forward. UV resistance prevents degradation and discoloration when the material is exposed to sunlight, ensuring the longevity and aesthetic quality of outdoor products.

Product Description
SAN is a copolymer plastic consisting of styrene and acrylonitrile. Typically, it contains approximately 70-80% styrene and 20-30% acrylonitrile. The combination of these two monomers results in a material that exhibits the clarity and rigidity of polystyrene, along with the chemical resistance and toughness of acrylonitrile. SAN is commonly used in a variety of applications due to its advantageous properties, including transparency, strength, and resistance to chemicals and heat.
In the automotive sector, it is often employed in the manufacturing of various interior and exterior components due to its durability and aesthetic qualities. The household goods industry also makes extensive use of SAN in products like kitchenware and small appliances, where its transparency and resistance to oils and fats are particularly valued.
