United States Styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) Market Size Set to Touch USD 2.06 Billion by 2029

United States styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) market is flourishing because of an increasing need in the tire manufacturing sector and the growing utilization of hybrid products combining natural rubber and SBR.

BlueWeave Consulting, a leading strategic consulting and market research firm, in its recent study, estimated the United States styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) market size at USD 1.41 billion in 2022. During the forecast period between 2023 and 2029, BlueWeave expects United States styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) market size to grow at a significant CAGR of 6.45% reaching a value of USD 2.06 billion by 2029. Major growth drivers for the United States styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) market include an increasing interlinking of polymer chains brought on by oxidation. Unlike natural rubber, which tends to harden with time, SBR retains its softness due to this cross-linking, rendering it a favorable material for manufacturing tires. This distinctive property underscores SBR's prominence as a preferred option within the market. The demand for SBR is particularly significant in the tire industry due to these attributes. Also, as the population grows, leading to higher vehicle demand and subsequently increased tire production, the demand for SBR is expected to rise in the USA. Also, its non-slip attributes make SBR suitable for producing footwear soles and heels, contributing notably to market expansion. It is projected that the USA's styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) market will likely reach a volume of 1500 thousand tons throughout the forecast period. However, fluctuations in prices of raw materials and limited supplies of natural rubber are anticipated to restrain the overall market growth during the forecast period.

United States Styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) Market – Overview

Styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) is a synthetic rubber derived from the copolymerization of styrene and butadiene. The predominant method for its production is emulsion polymerization. SBR boasts exceptional mechanical attributes, including high heat resistance, strong tensile strength, resistance to cracking and tearing, and notable resilience. Consequently, it finds widespread application, notably in tire manufacturing. Often combined with natural rubber for enhanced resilience, SBR is employed in various industries, such as tire production, conveyor belts, foam articles, adhesives, sealants, domestic mats, footwear soles, chewy candy, food container adhesives, car mats, brake pads, tubing, V-belts, floor coverings, military tank pads, and rubberized battery box cases.

Impact of COVID-19 on United States Styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) Market

COVID-19 pandemic adversely affected the United States styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) market. It led to disruptions in supply chains, reduced manufacturing capacities, and shifts in consumer demand. Lockdown measures and reduced economic activity during the pandemic's peak resulted in decreased demand for automotive and industrial products, influencing SBR utilization. While the gradual recovery in economic activities led to a rebound in demand, challenges remained due to supply chain bottlenecks and labor shortages. The pandemic emphasized the need for resilient supply chains and adaptive production strategies to navigate uncertainties and ensure the United States SBR market's sustained growth amidst such unprecedented challenges.
