Market Study: Butadiene Rubber

As measured by the global turnover, butadiene rubber (BR) is the second most important rubber after styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR). BR is formed by the polymerization of butadiene. Products made of BR offer very high resilience, good insulation properties, abrasion resistance, and remain flexible at low temperatures. According to the most recent study by the market research institute Ceresana, worldwide consumption for this elastomer type amounts to about 3.44 million tonnes per year.

The Study in Brief:

Chapter 1 provides a description and analysis of the global BR market, including forecasts up to 2025: The development of revenues, demand, and production is analyzed for each region of the world.
Chapter 2 offers a detailed analysis of 18 countries: Demand, export, import, output, capacities, and turnover in regard to BR. In addition, these countries are also analyzed regarding application areas.
Chapter 3 analyzes the different types of application areas of BR in detail: Data and influential factors referring to the use in tires, modification (ABS, HIPS), and industrial sales markets.
Chapter 4 offers a useful directory of the 33 most important BR producers, clearly arranged according to contact details, revenues, profit, product range, production sites, profile summary, and information on capacities. The most important manufacturers include: Arlanxeo Holding BV, Asahi Kasei, Bridgestone Corporation, Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company, JSR Corporation, LG Chem Ltd., PetroChina, and Sinopec Corp.
