Global emulsion styrene butadiene rubber market is estimated to be valued at USD 7.15 Bn in 2025, exhibiting a CAGR of 4.8% over the forecast period (2025-2032). Emulsion styrene butadiene rubber (ESBR) is a synthetic rubber produced by emulsion polymerization of styrene and butadiene. It is extensively used in the manufacture of tires owing to its excellent abrasion resistance and high strength. ESBR finds wide application in automobile tires due to its balanced performance in wet and dry traction.
Market Dynamics:
The key drivers contributing to the market growth include growing automobile production globally, rise in demand for fuel-efficient and high-performance tires, and shifting focus towards reducing rolling resistance without comprising abrasion resistance. However, volatility in raw material prices may hamper the market expansion. Market players such as ExxonMobil are focusing on developing innovative emulsion technologies to enhance processability and performance properties of ESBR. This presents lucrative opportunities for manufacturers to gain competitive edge. Asia Pacific especially China and India offer tremendous growth prospects for emulsion styrene butadiene rubber manufacturers due to a rapidly developing automotive industry in these countries. The global emulsion styrene butadiene rubber market is driven by the growing automobile production around the world. Asia Pacific currently dominates the global market due to a large presence of automobile manufacturers in China and India. Increase in vehicle fleet size and rising demand for high-performance tires are expected to propel emulsion styrene butadiene rubber market during the forecast period.
