Increasing demand from the automotive industry: a major market driver
Increasing demand from the automotive industry is one of the major
factors driving the global polybutadiene
rubber market. The automotive industry is one of the key
end-user industries of BR. The automotive sector in the BR market
contributes to the market with the maximum share in terms of
consumption. It is used in the industry to produce tires. The properties
exhibited by BR such as high resilience, enhanced abrasion resistance,
and increased cut growth resistance makes it a suitable elastomer to
produce tires. Around 70% of the BR produced goes into treads and
sidewalls.
According to a senior analyst at Technavio for research on plastics,
polymers, and elastomers, “The fluctuations in the prices of
natural rubber had encouraged the tire manufacturers to replace the
product with synthetic rubber, wherein BR is one of the least expensive
products. The manufacturers must depend on synthetic rubber to enhance
the quality of the products by increasing the tensile strength. BR is
combined with other elastomers such as natural rubber or SBR for tire
production.”
The automotive industry relies on BR for non-tire applications such as
hoses, belts, gaskets, and other automotive components because of its
high resistance to cold temperatures. The increasing number of
automobiles across the globe and the growing demand for BR for numerous
applications are expected to stimulate the growth of the global BR
market.

Rising demand for bio-based feedstock: emerging market trend
The use of bio-based feedstock in the production of synthetic rubber is
one of the upcoming trends. The development of renewable chemicals to
produce rubber is increasing rapidly on the grounds of achieving
sustainability. The high prices and indefinite supply of petroleum raw
materials and natural rubber have encouraged the use of renewable
feedstock to produce synthetic rubber. The major players in the market
are concentrating on producing BR from bio-based raw materials.
Bio-based butadiene is produced with the help of renewable raw material
sources such as non-food biomass. Sugar, glycerin, and other plant-based
raw materials are evolving as economically viable materials to replace
conventional feedstocks such as butadiene and isoprene.
Global market opportunities
APAC was the leading geographical segment of the global BR market with a
share of approximately 57% in 2017. The growth of the market in APAC is
majorly driven by the presence of low-cost labor benefits in the
emerging economies of the region, including China and India, where
manufacturers from industries such as automobile are establishing their
foothold. EMEA contributed for the second largest share in the BR market
because of the growth of the automotive industry in the region.
