Isobutylene Polymer Resins Market - Forecasts from 2025 to 2030

Isobutylene Polymer Resins Market - Forecasts from 2025 to 2030

The isobutylene polymer resins market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.62%, reaching a market size of US$12.462 billion in 2030 from US$9.046 billion in 2025.The isobutylene polymer resins market would witness an increase due to its utilization in multiple industries. The product demand from end-use industries such as automotive, personal care, and cosmetics industries is expected to drive the industry over the forecast period. Applications of isobutylene, for example, include surface protective films, window sealants, binder material for batteries, and food packaging solutions. These chemicals are widely used in rubber tires and tubes as fuel additives. Polyisobutylene is used to produce medical adhesives for the treatment of wounds, drug coatings, and pharmaceutical packaging materials. The overall growth in these sectors would lead the isobutylene polymer resins market.

Isobutylene polymer resin market drivers
Rising demand in the automotive sector

The automotive sector is witnessing significant growth in 2023. According to the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (OICA), globally, the production for cars was 67,133,570, and for commercial vehicles, it was 26,413,029, which is a 10% growth from 2022. The increased growth in vehicles is due to the increasing demand from the developing parts of the world in Asia Pacific, Africa, and Brazil. Butyl rubber can be vulcanizate and have tensile strengths up to 2000 psi. These are characterized by low permeability to air and a high resistance to chemicals and oxidation. This makes it suitable for use in butyl rubber, especially in the inner tubes.

This increased manufacturing would lead to a positive growth demand for butyl rubber. Further, the existing number of automobiles would have a growth impact on polyisobutylene succinimides for the engine oil additives. For instance, Lubrizol polyisobutylene succinimides are engine oil additives for keeping engines clean by dispersing harmful debris generated during operation.
