Synthetic and Biobased Butadiene Market Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Forecast 2018 - 2026

Based on end-use, the PBR segment held major share of the global synthetic and biobased butadiene market in 2017. This trend is likely to continue throughout the forecast period. SBR is a significant end-use segment of the global synthetic and biobased butadiene market. Synthetic and biobased butadiene are used as raw materials in the manufacture of SBR, synthetic butadiene latex, adiponitrile, and ABS. In terms of consumption, the automotive industry accounts for key share of the synthetic and biobased butadiene market. SBR, PBR, and ABS are used in the automotive industry for the production of tires and lightweight vehicles. In terms of volume, the PBR segment stood at 3,782.7 kilo tons in 2017. In terms of consumption, the biobased product type segment was highly attractive in 2017, due to the extensive demand to manufacture green tires.

In terms of volume and value, Asia Pacific constituted prominent share of the global synthetic and biobased butadiene market in 2017. The region is expected to continue its dominance throughout the forecast period. China and India are highly lucrative countries of the synthetic and biobased butadiene market in Asia Pacific. Stringent regulations imposed by the U.S. EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) on hazardous chemicals released from synthetic and biobased butadiene manufacturing facilities in the country are likely to hamper the synthetic and biobased butadiene market in North America during the forecast period. Market share of Europe is projected to decrease by the end of the forecast period, owing to the implementation of regulations about the environment, energy efficiency, and safe manufacture of tires in the region. The synthetic and biobased butadiene market in Latin America and Middle East & Africa is likely to expand at a sluggish pace during the forecast period. Volatility in prices of synthetic and biobased butadiene is adversely affecting the market in these regions, as several players are increasing the price of synthetic and biobased butadiene products.
