Global Polybutene-1(Resin) Market 2025 by Manufacturers, Regions, Type and Application, Forecast to 2031

According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Polybutene-1(Resin) market size was valued at US$ 365 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of USD 468 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 3.4% during review period.

Polybutene-1 is the result of polymerizing butene-1 with a stereospecific catalyst to create a linear, high isotactic and semicrystalline polymer. It is important to note that PB-1 is often mistaken for polyisobutene, or PIB, which is an entirely different type of material - a low molecular weight oily liquid. PB-1, when applied as a pure or reinforced resin, can replace materials like metal, rubber and engineering polymers. It is also used synergistically as a blend element to modify the characteristics of other polyolefins like polypropylene and polyethylene.

The global polybutene-1(resin) market faces with a few dominant players such as LyondellBasell and Mitsui Chemicals holding a significant share. These companies benefit from integrated supply chains, advanced technology, and large-scale production capabilities, making it difficult for smaller competitors to match their cost efficiency and quality standards. The competition also intensifies due to alternative materials like polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) which are used in similar applications, creating a need for polybutene-1(resin) producers to emphasize the unique benefits of the polymer, such as flexibility, creep resistance, and ease of processing.

The demand for polybutene-1(resin) is particularly strong in niche applications like pipe systems for plumbing and heating, hot-melt adhesives，packaging materials, which offer competitive advantages over alternatives due to its superior performance characteristics. The market also faces regional variation in competition, with Asia-Pacific being the fastest-growing region, driven by increasing urbanization and industrialization, while Europe and North America are more mature markets. Key competitors in emerging markets are focusing on cost competitiveness and local supply chain advantages, creating pressure on pricing strategies globally.

Opportunities for growth in the polybutene-1(resin) market lie in expanding the material's application base, especially in areas like flexible packaging, medical devices, and high-performance industrial parts. Sustainability trends also present an opportunity, as polybutene-1(resin)’s recyclability and low environmental impact in certain applications align with growing regulatory pressures for greener materials. Innovation in product development, such as enhancing polybutene-1(resin)’s compatibility with bio-based polymers or improving its processing efficiencies, offers producers a chance to differentiate themselves in a competitive landscape.
