Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate (ASA) Price Trend Analysis: Q1 2026

Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate (ASA) Price Trend Q1 2026

During Q1 2026, the global Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate (ASA) market improved by around 2.75% over the previous quarter as a result of increasing feedstock acrylonitrile styrene acrylate price trend along with tighter supply conditions.

ASA Prices for some of the main raw materials, especially for acrylonitrile and styrene, increased to high levels; the result has been a significant increase in production costs and the overall market perception trended upwards.

Due to current geopolitical tensions in the world, supply chains have been impacted by delays in incoming naphtha shipments from the Middle East, which caused limited feedstock availability in the entire Asian region. Several producers reduced their operating rates; therefore, supply conditions became tighter with little to no spot availability.

Furthermore, firm styrene price trends created additional upward pressure on ASA global prices. In the last half of Q1 2026, acrylonitrile styrene acrylate price trends rapidly accelerated between mid-February and March and went well above normal historical price levels.

Overall, the Q1 ASA market had a bullish trend based on continued elevated upstream costs, limited available supply, and increased volatility in global trade flows.

South Korea: ASA Export prices FOB Busan, South Korea; Grade- Heat Resistant (MFI: 3-7)

In Q1 2026, acrylonitrile styrene acrylate price trend in South Korea (FOB Busan) has increased by approximately 2.7% compared with the previous quarter, supported by higher feedstock costs and tightening supply conditions. The ASA price trend in South Korea is driven by rising acrylonitrile and styrene prices, which increase production costs for domestic manufacturers.

Market sentiment strengthened amid ongoing geopolitical disruptions affecting Middle Eastern trade flows, leading to delays in naphtha cargo arrivals and tighter upstream butadiene availability. Further pressure comes from shipping disruptions near the Strait of Hormuz and operational issues at the Port of Fujairah, which delay feedstock inflows into South Korea.

In addition, reduced operating rates among several producers due to constrained feedstock availability limit overall supply. Firm styrene trends continue to support higher export offers. In South Korea, acrylonitrile styrene acrylate prices in March 2026 have surged by over 10% compared with February levels, reflecting strong cost-push pressure and heightened market volatility.

Netherlands: ASA Import prices CIF Rotterdam (South Korea), Netherlands; Grade- Heat Resistant (MFI: 3-7)

In Q1 2026, acrylonitrile styrene acrylate price trend in the Netherlands (CIF) has increased by approximately 3.2% compared with the previous quarter, supported by higher feedstock costs and firmer import offers from Asia.

The ASA price trend in the Netherlands is primarily driven by rising acrylonitrile and styrene prices, which lift production costs for exporters and are reflected in higher CIF levels in the Dutch market.

Supply conditions continued to tighten amid ongoing geopolitical disruptions affecting global trade flows, leading to delays in feedstock availability and lower operating rates among producers.

This tighter supply environment continues to support upward pricing pressure across the region. At the same time, stable to slightly higher freight costs also contribute to higher landed prices.

Market sentiment strengthened further in the latter part of the quarter, with a more visible price rise between mid-February and March. In the Netherlands, ASA prices in March 2026 have increased by around 12% compared with the previous month, reflecting strong cost-push pressure, tighter supply conditions, and firmer import pricing trends.

USA: ASA Import prices CIF Houston (South Korea), USA; Grade- Heat Resistant (MFI: 3-7)

In Q1 2026, ASA price in the USA (CIF imports) has increased by approximately 2.40% compared with the previous quarter, supported by rising feedstock costs and firm export pricing from Asia. The ASA price trend in the USA reflects higher acrylonitrile and styrene costs, which increase production expenses for exporters and result in higher offer levels in the US market.

Supply conditions have tightened due to geopolitical disruptions affecting feedstock availability and reduced operating rates among some producers. Import availability remained slightly constrained, supporting firmer sentiment.

Freight costs, stable to slightly higher, add marginal pressure to landed prices. In the USA, ASA prices in March 2026 have increased by around 12% compared with the previous month, reflecting stronger cost-push pressure, tighter supply, and firm import offers.

India: ASA Domestical prices Ex-Bhiwandi, India; Grade – Heat Resistant (MFI: 3-7)

In Q1 2026, acrylonitrile styrene acrylate price trend in India (domestic market) has increased by approximately 3.5% compared with the previous quarter, supported by tighter supply conditions and firm upstream cost pressures. The ASA price trend in India is driven by higher acrylonitrile and styrene prices, which raise production costs and push domestic pricing higher.

Market conditions are further affected by delayed shipment arrivals, which disrupt supply flows and tighten material availability across the country. This constrained supply reduces spot availability, leading buyers to secure material even at higher price levels. Demand from key end-use sectors such as automotive and construction shows gradual improvement, supporting market sentiment.

Global supply disruptions and logistical challenges also add to the overall firm tone. Prices gained stronger momentum in the latter part of the quarter.

Spain: ASA Import prices CIF Algeciras (South Korea), Spain; Grade- Heat Resistant (MFI: 3-7)

In Q1 2026, acrylonitrile styrene acrylate price trend in Spain (CIF imports) has increased by approximately 4.5% compared with the previous quarter, supported by higher feedstock costs and increased freight rates from South Korea. The ASA price trend in Spain is driven by rising acrylonitrile and styrene costs, which increase production expenses for Korean exporters and result in firmer FOB offers, translating into higher CIF levels in Spain.

Higher Korea–Spain freight rates also add pressure on landed costs. Supply conditions tighten further amid ongoing geopolitical disruptions affecting global trade routes, leading to delays in feedstock availability and reduced operating rates among producers. This constrained supply environment, along with firm upstream costs, supports stronger pricing momentum.

Sentiment improved in the latter part of the quarter, with a clearer rise between mid-February and March. In Spain, ASA prices in March 2026 have increased by around 12% compared with February levels, reflecting higher FOB Korea pricing, increased freight costs, and tighter supply conditions.

In Q1 2026, acrylonitrile styrene acrylate price trend in the UK (CIF imports) has increased by about 4.0% compared with the previous quarter, supported by higher feedstock costs and logistics expenses.

The ASA price trend in the UK is driven by rising acrylonitrile and styrene prices, which increase production costs for exporters and push import offers higher. Higher freight rates also added pressure on landed costs.

Supply conditions tighten amid geopolitical disruptions affecting global trade flows, causing delays in feedstock availability and lower operating rates among some producers. This, along with firm upstream costs, supports a stronger pricing outlook.

Momentum built in the latter part of the quarter, with a clear rise between mid-February and March. In the UK, ASA prices in March 2026 have increased by around 12% compared with February, reflecting higher costs, tighter supply, and increased freight expenses.

Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate (ASA) Price Trend Analysis 2025

Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate (ASA) Price Trend Q1 2025

By Q1 2025, Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate (ASA) prices in South Korea rebounded to $2455/MT, marking a 1.16% increase from Q4 2024. The price recovery was primarily fuelled by renewed demand from the automotive, construction, and electronics sectors, which picked up momentum as economic activity improved at the start of the year.

Additionally, supply chain adjustments and improved trade routes contributed to a more balanced market, preventing excess supply from weighing down prices further. As a result, ASA pricing reflected a modest but steady upward trend heading into 2025.

In Q1 2025, Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate prices in the Indian domestic market fell sharply to $2677/MT, registering a 5.72% decline from the previous quarter. The downturn was mainly attributed to continued weak demand from the automotive and appliance sectors, where ASA is widely used for components such as radiator grills, side mirror housings, and exterior trim panels.

Several OEMs operated at reduced capacity due to a buildup of finished goods inventory and lacklustre retail sales. On the supply side, imports from South Korea remained abundant and aggressively priced, as Korean producers diverted surplus material to overseas markets amid slow regional consumption.

This influx of low-cost cargo further eroded domestic pricing. Moreover, with feedstock markets like acrylonitrile and styrene showing limited cost support, Indian buyers were hesitant to restock, anticipating additional softness ahead.

Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate (ASA) Price Trend Q2 2025

According to PriceWatch, In the South Korean market, prices for Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate (ASA) during the second quarter of 2025, Injection Moulding grade FOB Busan averaged $2456 per metric ton, reflecting a minimal increase of just 0.08% over the previous quarter. The negligible shift in pricing was primarily due to stable market fundamentals, where supply and demand remained largely balanced.

Feedstock acrylonitrile prices experienced mild upward movement during April, but the impact on finished ASA costs was offset by softer styrene prices and steady acrylate inputs. South Korean producers operated at consistent run rates, with no major plant disruptions reported.

Downstream demand from automotive and durable goods segments showed slight improvement, though it wasn’t strong enough to trigger aggressive restocking. Buyers mostly stuck to short-term procurement strategies amid cautious sentiment. As a result, price momentum remained subdued, with the market exhibiting a steady tone rather than any strong directional movement through the quarter.

According to PriceWatch, In the Indian domestic market, prices for Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate (ASA) Injection Moulding grade on an Ex-Bhiwandi basis averaged $2,670 per metric ton in the second quarter of 2025, reflecting a marginal decrease of 0.21% from the first quarter.

The slight decline was driven primarily by reduced procurement from the automotive and electrical appliance sectors, which faced sluggish consumer demand amid elevated retail inflation and persistent interest rate pressure.

Inventory levels remained adequate across distributors and processors, leading to limited spot buying activity throughout April and May. Imports from South Korea and Taiwan continued at stable levels, but aggressive domestic price competition particularly from newer players in Gujarat and Maharashtra kept offers under check.

While feedstock cost movements were relatively neutral, traders noted slight flexibility in price negotiations by suppliers aiming to protect market share. Overall sentiment in the ASA market remained cautious, and the anticipated Q2 pickup in seasonal demand failed to fully materialize, keeping prices under mild downward pressure despite otherwise steady supply conditions.

Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate (ASA) Price Trend Q3 2025

Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate (ASA) Price Trend Q4 2025

The worldwide ASA market saw a drop in Q4 2025 of around 2.8% from Q3 2025 as a result of poor feedstock trends and weak downstream demand. Styrene and acrylonitrile prices both fell during the quarter resulting in manufacturers with lower production costs and downward pressure on ASA prices.

Demand from end-use industries, like automotive and construction, has been still soft as buyers continued to be cautious and only purchase based on need due to adequate supply. Production has been focused on matching slower consumption rates so that producers had limited inventory accumulation throughout all major producing areas.

Exports remained steady as competitively priced offers have been available in the marketplace but there has been little to no urgency to buy from the international community. Market sentiment stayed weak as declining upstream costs, balanced supply/demand conditions, and muted demand created a bearish trend in Q4 2025.

South Korea: ASA Export prices FOB Busan, South Korea; Grade- Heat Resistant (MFI: 3-7)

In Q4 2025, Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate (ASA) prices in South Korea (FOB Busan) have been declining by approximately 2.80% compared to the previous quarter, reflecting continued weakness in downstream demand and softer feedstock trends.

The Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate (ASA) price trend in the USA has been under pressure due to subdued demand from key end-use sectors such as automotive and construction, where procurement activity has remained cautious amid sufficient material availability.

Lower feedstock costs, particularly for styrene and acrylonitrile, have reduced production expenses for exporters, resulting in more competitive import offers into the US market. Supply levels have remained adequate, supported by steady inflows from Asian producers, which have kept inventory positions comfortable and limited any upward pricing momentum.

Buyers have largely maintained a need-based purchasing approach, with limited urgency to restock amid expectations of further corrections. In December 2025, Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate (ASA) prices in the USA have continued to soften by around 3.5% from the previous month, influenced by declining upstream costs, ample supply, and restrained downstream demand.

India: ASA Domestically traded prices Ex-Bhiwandi, India; Grade- Heat Resistant (MFI: 3-7)

Throughout Q4 2025, domestic Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate (ASA) prices in India dropped by roughly 2.63% compared to the last quarter, primarily driven by shaky demand fundamentals and a significant easing of cost pressures.

The overall ASA price trend in India stayed soft as interest from vital sectors like automotive parts and construction remained hit-or-miss; most buyers decided to limit their purchases to immediate needs since they already held sufficient inventory.

This downward momentum is further reinforced by weakening feedstock costs, particularly for styrene and acrylonitrile, which lowered production expenses and gave suppliers the room to revise their offers downward.

On the supply side, the market stayed perfectly balanced, supported by healthy domestic availability and a steady stream of imports that prevented any supply-side bottlenecks. Trading activity stayed moderate, with market participants remaining cautious and dodging bulk deals in hopes of further price corrections.

By December 2025, ASA prices in India continued to slide, falling another 2% from the month before. This persistent softness is fuelled by comfortable supply levels, cheaper upstream inputs, and a general “wait-and-see” attitude across downstream industries as the year ended.

Spain: ASA Import prices CIF Algeciras (South Korea), Spain; Grade- Heat Resistant (MFI: 3-7)

During Q4 2025, ASA prices in Spain (CIF imports) saw a steady decline of roughly 3.70% compared to the previous quarter, a clear reflection of the persistent softness across the European market. The ASA price trend in Spain is heavily weighed down by lacklustre demand from the construction and automotive industries, where high economic uncertainty and cautious spending kept consumption levels very low.

Lower costs for raw materials, particularly styrene and acrylonitrile, played a major role in dragging import prices down, as global suppliers slashed their offers to stay competitive in the Spanish market. Supply remained perfectly adequate throughout the quarter, thanks to consistent shipments from Asian exporters that kept the market well-stocked.

Most buyers refused to stock up, sticking instead to a strictly need-based buying strategy while they waited for the market to bottom out. By December 2025, ASA prices in Spain softened by an additional 1% from the previous month, as the combination of cheaper feedstocks, ample material availability, and quiet downstream demand maintained a bearish tone through the end of the year.

United Kingdom: ASA Import prices CIF Immingham (South Korea), United Kingdom; Grade- Heat Resistant (MFI: 3-7)

During Q4 2025, ASA prices in the UK (CIF imports) dropped by roughly 3.80% compared to the previous quarter, a clear sign of the persistent weakness in market fundamentals. The ASA price trend in the UK stayed under heavy pressure as demand from major sectors like construction and automotive remained lacklustre, with buyers staying cautious due to ongoing economic uncertainty and the fact that there is already plenty of material to go around.

This downward slide is fuelled by cheaper feedstocks, specifically styrene and acrylonitrile, which slashed production costs and allowed exporters to keep cutting their offer prices. Supply levels remained more than adequate, supported by a steady flow of shipments from Asian producers that kept the market well-stocked.

Instead of stocking up, buyers stuck to a defensive, need-based strategy, holding off on bulk orders in anticipation of even lower prices. By December 2025, ASA prices in the UK softened by an additional 1.3% from the previous month, as the combination of falling upstream costs and quiet downstream demand maintained a bearish tone through the end of the year.

Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate (ASA) Price Trend Q1 2024

In Q1 2024, the global Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate (ASA) market displayed mixed trends, with prices in South Korea reported at USD 2476/MT, reflecting a slight decrease of 3.7% from the previous quarter.
