Global Amorphous Polyalphaolefin (APAO) Market Analysis: Plant Capacity, Production, Operating Efficiency, Demand & Supply, End-User Industries, Sales Channel, Regional Demand, Company Share, 2015-2035

The global Amorphous Polyalphaolefin (APAO) market is estimated to reach around 220 thousand tonnes in 2022 with a CAGR of 4.01% during the forecast period until 2035. A joint venture to build and run an amorphous Polyalphaolefin (APAO) manufacturing plant in the Yeosu Industrial Complex in South Korea was announced on June 15, 2021, by REXtac LLC of Odessa, and DL Chemical of Seoul. The eco-friendly APAO factory will have an annual capacity of 88,000,000 pounds once in operation is worth a USD134 million investment.

Amorphous Polyalphaolefin (APAO) is synthesized by polymerization reaction of nitrile alcohol and alkyl aluminium in presence of zn-nitrite catalysts. Generally, low crystallinity amorphous polyalphaolefins are synthesized by this method. This is a perfect material for making hot melt due to its physical and chemical properties. APAO hot melts have a wide array of industrial applications such as battery assemblies, load floors, automotive filters, headliner component assembly, HVAC assembly, bi-laminate fabric, and others.

The APAO adhesives display intrinsic resistance to moisture, adequate UV protection, functionality across a large range of temperatures, and outstanding thermal stability.

Based on production, USA is leading the APAO market approximately 50% of the global APAO in 2021. It is expected to retain this position in the forecast period. This is due to abundance of olefins, the raw materials used to synthesize Amorphous Polyalphaloefins (APAO), are available in USA.

The global demand is being driven by the automotive industry. In coming times, the requirement of adhesives will be surging with high demands from the automobile industry for the purpose of manufacturing lightweight vehicles. In the year 2021, approximately 51% of the APAO demand was from the automotive industry. APAO hot melts and adhesives are contributing factors which are expected to increase the demands of APAO in the forecast period.

Based on consumption, the APAO market is divided into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, the Middle East and Africa, and South America. Europe is currently leading the global APAO market owning up to the employment of APAO for the manufacture of consumer goods and woodwork. In the forecast period, Europe is anticipated to experience of slow growth in terms of APAO demand. Whereas Asia Pacific is anticipated to experience a surge in demand of APAO as a result of growing demand of materials for the production of lubricants, hot melt adhesives, printing and packaging industry.

Based on the end-user industry, the APAO market is segmented into different sectors, including Automotive, Hygiene & Foam, Woodworking, Packaging, and others. However, automotive industry is the largest end-user market of APAO. The automotive market for and is expected to dominate the APAO market in the forecast period as well. The Hygiene & Foam market is also a prominent consumer of APAO. Additionally, the Packaging Industry is likely to expand in the coming years owning up to the rapid urbanization.

Major players for Global APAO are Evonik Industries AG, Eastman Chemical Company, REXtac LLC, Liaoyang Liaohua Qida Chemicals, and D-Rex Polymer LLC.
