Styrene-Acrylonitrile (SAN) Pricing, Demand and Supply Overview
Styrene-acrylonitrile (SAN) is a rigid thermoplastic copolymer produced from styrene and acrylonitrile monomers through emulsion or suspension polymerization, valued for its chemical resistance and clarity, used extensively in household appliances, automotive components, and consumer goods manufacturing. Styrene and acrylonitrile feedstock costs, and appliance and automotive demand all feed into the price.
Global SAN prices in Q1 2026 stood at USD 2.005 per KG in North America, the highest among tracked markets, USD 1.884 per KG in Europe, USD 1.361 per KG in Northeast Asia, and USD 1.098 per KG in Southeast Asia, the most competitively priced tracked market. North America held the highest tracked price on elevated domestic styrene and acrylonitrile feedstock costs, while Southeast Asia benefited from proximity to regional production capacity. Steady household appliance and automotive component demand continued to underpin consumption across all tracked regions.
What is Styrene-Acrylonitrile (SAN) Price in August 2026?
SAN prices held close to Q1 2026 levels through August 2026, tracking regional styrene and acrylonitrile feedstock cost differentials, as steady appliance and automotive demand continued to support the market across all tracked regions.
- North America: North American SAN prices held near USD 1.90 to USD 2.11 per KG, close to the USD 2.005 per KG recorded in Q1 2026 and the highest among tracked markets, as elevated domestic feedstock costs continued to sustain the regional premium.
- Europe: European SAN prices held near USD 1.79 to USD 1.98 per KG, close to the USD 1.884 per KG recorded in Q1 2026, as steady household appliance and consumer goods demand continued to support the region's pricing.
- APAC (Northeast/Southeast Asia): Northeast Asian SAN prices held near USD 1.29 to USD 1.43 per KG, close to the USD 1.361 per KG recorded in Q1 2026, while Southeast Asian prices held near USD 1.04 to USD 1.15 per KG, the most competitively priced tracked market.
Styrene-Acrylonitrile (SAN) Price Forecast for 2026
The rest of the year of 2026 should stay firm but uneven. North American demand and feedstock costs keep pushing that market up, while Southeast Asian oversupply keeps its prices sliding, and Europe will likely go on swinging with styrene. A feedstock spike in styrene or acrylonitrile would lift the whole chain; weak consumer and automotive demand, especially in the oversupplied Asian markets, would leave it long.
| Region | 2026 Price Range (USD/KG) | Outlook |
| Global Average | 1.575 - 1.809 | Firming; North American strength offsets a soft Southeast Asian floor |
| North America | 2.007 - 2.319 | Rising; firm demand and feedstock costs push prices to the top |
| Europe | 1.864 - 2.151 | Volatile; styrene swings drive sharp quarterly moves |
| Northeast Asia | 1.346 - 1.541 | Steady; ample capacity holds the mid-range broadly flat |
| Southeast Asia | 1.082 - 1.224 | Lowest; oversupply and weak demand keep prices sliding |

Behind that calm, North America climbed while Southeast Asia slid, and styrene feedstock swings drove the quarterly moves.
| Quarter | Price (USD/KG) | QoQ Change | Direction |
| Q1 2026 | 1.587 | +3.9% | ↑ Rising |
| Q4 2025 | 1.527 | -4.6% | ↓ Falling |

What was Styrene-Acrylonitrile (SAN) Price in 2025?
On a global basis 2025 was close to flat for SAN, the average easing from USD 1.601/KG in Q1 to USD 1.527/KG by Q4, down 4.6%. Two forces did the shaping. Styrene feedstock, which spiked mid-year and then collapsed, threw Europe around. And a widening regional split saw North America firm steadily while Southeast Asia gave way to oversupply, stretching the gap between the strongest and weakest markets all year.
Styrene-Acrylonitrile (SAN) Prices in North America in 2025
North America was the standout, climbing from USD 1.822/KG in Q1 2025 to USD 1.873/KG by Q4, up 2.8%, then jumping further in early 2026. Quarter after quarter, firm housewares and automotive demand and steady feedstock costs pushed it higher. Reliable downstream demand carried the market.
Styrene-Acrylonitrile (SAN) Prices in Europe in 2025
Europe was the rollercoaster. From USD 1.916/KG it spiked to USD 2.109/KG in Q2 on a styrene squeeze, then slid to USD 1.766/KG by Q4, a 7.8% full-year drop that hid sharp swings driven entirely by feedstock. Styrene cost volatility ran the show.
Styrene-Acrylonitrile (SAN) Prices in Northeast Asia in 2025
Northeast Asia held a narrow band, easing from USD 1.371/KG in Q1 2025 to USD 1.349/KG by Q4, down just 1.6%. Ample capacity met steady demand, keeping prices in the mid-range all year. Balanced supply and demand insulated it from the swings seen in the West.
Styrene-Acrylonitrile (SAN) Prices in Southeast Asia in 2025
Southeast Asia took the year’s steepest fall, from USD 1.294/KG in Q1 2025 to USD 1.120/KG by Q4, down 13.4%. Persistent oversupply and weak consumer-goods demand pressed prices lower every quarter. Structural oversupply kept it the cheapest source of SAN.
