The global SBC and its derivatives market size reached US$ 9.8 Billion in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 16.1 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 5.41% during 2024-2032. The increasing number of construction activities, rising use in medical applications, and the growing sales of luxury vehicles represent some of the key factors driving the market.

Styrenic block copolymer (SBC) and its derivatives are thermoplastic elastomers that are made by ionic copolymerization of styrene and butadiene (SBS) and styrene and 2-methyl-1,3-butadiene (SIS). They have mechanical properties of rubber and the processing characteristics of thermoplastic. They offer high crystal clarity, thermal stability, and high resistance and indicate no cytotoxic and mutagenic potential. They are added in additives and other high-performance polymeric compounds for the formulation of many products, such as polymer modification, asphalt and bitumen modification, vulcanized compounding, and adhesives and sealants. Besides this, as SBC and its derivatives are more environment friendly as compared than polyvinyl chloride (PVC), they are used in different industry verticals across the globe.

SBC and Its Derivatives Market Trends:
SBC and its derivatives are employed in the construction industry for various paving and roofing applications. This, coupled with the increasing number of housing units on account of the rising global population and inflating disposable income, represents one of the key factors bolstering the market growth around the world. Moreover, the expanding number of remodeling and renovation activities in residential and commercial areas, especially in urban areas, is favoring the market growth. In addition, the growing investments in the expansion of smart cities by governments of numerous countries are influencing the market positively. Apart from this, the increasing utilization of SBC and its derivatives in the manufacturing of footwear on account of their numerous properties, such as excellent elasticity, gas barrier, slip resistance, flexing endurance, wear resistance, and low-temperature resistance, are contributing to the market growth. Furthermore, SBC and its derivatives are used in numerous medical applications, including comfort bedding, IV connectors, IV bags, IV drip chambers, IV bottles, IV tubing, medical stoppers, films, and orthopedics and respiratory tool. They are resistant to ultraviolet (UV) and offer good mechanical strength, high transparency, and flexibility. Besides this, the rising utilization of SBC and its derivatives in the packaging of drugs and vaccines and significant growth in the pharmaceutical industry is creating a positive outlook for the market. Additionally, SBC and its derivatives are utilized in manufacturing different components of vehicles, which include hoses, gaskets, belts, and other parts. This, coupled with the increasing sales of luxury vehicles, is strengthening the growth of the market.
