Recycled Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (RABS) Price Trend for the Second Half of 2023
Just like its virgin counterpart the Recycled Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (RABS) is also very versatile in its application and possesses a good shelf life. It is one of the most commonly used plastics in a wide array of industries. So, their price trend is usually dependent on the consumption patterns of the end-user industries. However, during the given period, since the consumption was rather lukewarm, the supplies drove the market sentiments.

A carefree approach regarding supplies cost the suppliers a little during this time. Since the demands wavered at the lower than usual levels, the prices also followed along. Even when the orders came in, the inventory levels easily catered to the demands and kept the prices low; further, the suppliers also cut down prices in hopes of positive product movement. Overall, an underwhelming market situation was witnessed for rABS in H2’23.
Analyst Insight
According to Procurement Resource, the Recycled Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (rABS) price trends are likely to stabilize going forward since the demand is expected to rise again.
Recycled Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene Price Trend for the First Half of 2023
Recycled acrylonitrile butadiene styrene is used in the production of several automotive parts, toys, sheets, and related products that require high resistance to impact. The price trend of recycled acrylonitrile butadiene styrene in Europe continued to fall in the first two quarters of 2023. Due to the persistently weak demand for recycled plastics brought on by the European economy's stagnation, as well as competition from cheaper off-spec virgin polymers and imported products, prices for recycled plastics are under significant pressure.
At the same time, despite many recyclers reducing output to prevent an accumulation of stockpiles, sluggish demand resulted in a surplus supply situation. This led to overall weak market sentiments, which affected not only the demand but also the related production activities, where investors seemed reluctant to invest in this sector.
Analyst Insight
According to Procurement Resource, the price of Recycled Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene is expected to fluctuate amid weak market sentiments and high uncertainties in the economic sectors.
