Global Styrene Isoprene Butadiene (SIBS) Market to Reach $72 Billion by 2021 – Shift Towards Polymer Devices Over Metallic Devices is Gaining Popularity – Research and Markets

DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Research and Markets has announced the addition of the “Global
Styrene Isoprene Butadiene (SIBS) Market” report to their
offering.

The global styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) market has been estimated at
USD 56.11 billion in 2016 and is projected to reach USD 72.02 billion by
2021, growing at a CAGR of 5.12% during the forecast period, 2016 to
2021.

Styrene isoprene butylene styrene, also known as SIBS, is a biostable
thermoplastic elastomer with physical properties that overlap silicone
rubber and polyurethane. Initial data collected with SIBS stent-grafts
and coatings on metallic stents demonstrate hemocompatibility,
biocompatibility and long-term stability in contact with metal. SIBS
polymers contain block segments of styrene monomers and rubber monomer
units like other styrene block copolymers. However, SIBS also contains
unsaturated elastomers or rubber units having isoprene and butadiene.

A shift towards polymer devices over metallic devices is gaining
popularity in the medical industry, to improve the operational
efficiency. This is expected to drive the SIBS demand in the global
market. The adhesive & sealants industry is another key market to drive
its demand in the global market. SIBS has potential application in
pressure sensitive adhesives in the tapes market. Wires & cables is
another segment, which drives the demand for SIBS in the emerging
markets. However, fluctuating raw material prices are anticipated to act
as a restraint for the global SIBS market growth.
