Emerging economies such as China, India, Indonesia, and Thailand are experiencing high demand for polybutadiene. Increasing disposable income, huge consumer base, rising urban population, low labour costs, and easy availability of raw materials are attracting global automobile manufacturers to shift their production facilities to the region, thus, creating a high demand for polybutadiene in this region.

Tire application accounts for largest market size during forecast period

The tire industry ...
... is expanding due to the growing automotive industry. It accounted for the largest share of the overall polybutadiene market. Furthermore, this segment is estimated to grow significantly during the forecast period. Polybutadiene is widely used in tire manufacturing due to its toughness, good abrasion resistance, cold resistance, high tensile strength, high resilience, tear resistance, and durability.

APAC is estimated to account for the largest value share of the global polybutadiene market. The market is primarily driven by the strong demand from the automotive industry. China is expected to boost the demand for polybutadiene during the forecast period. Increasing disposable income, huge consumer base, rising urban population, low labor costs, and easy availability of raw materials are attracting global automobile manufacturers to shift their production facilities to the region, thus, creating a high demand for polybutadiene in this region.

Recent Developments

In February 2019,SIBUR decided to launch an investment project aimed at enhancing polybutadiene rubber (Nd-BR) production efficiency at its Voronezh facility (Voronezhsintezkauchuk). The project aims for a large-scale upgrade to boost operational efficiency of the existing facility and ensure production of consistently high quality of products. This project will enable SIBUR to produce quality products with improved operational efficiency.
