Butadiene Derivatives Market Research Report Information by Product Derivatives [Styrene Butadiene Rubber (SBR), Polybutadiene Rubber (PBR), Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS), Styrene Butadiene Latex, Adiponitrile, Nitrile Rubber (NR) and others], Application (Tires and Rubber, Injection-Molded Products, Electronics, Adhesives, Paints, Footwear and Others) and Region (Asia-Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America and Middle East & Africa) - Forecast till 2030.

Butadiene Derivatives Market Overview

Butadiene Derivatives Market is projected to grow at 4.65% CAGR during the Forecast 2021-2030.

Butadiene, also known as 1, 3-butadiene, is a highly reactive colorless gas, commercially obtained by extractive distillation from crude butylene concentration stream. Butadiene and its derivatives are considered as a vital feedstock for manufacturing various chemicals and materials, and thus have an array of applications in the automotive and textile industries. For instance, acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), on account of its high impact and heat resistance, is majorly used in the automotive sector to manufacture rigid, light, and molded parts such as instrument panels, consoles, radiator grills, and headlight housings.

The significant factor driving the market for butadiene derivatives is the increased demand for styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) to produce tires and synthetic rubber products. The soft nature and fluctuating prices of natural rubber, improved properties of synthetic rubber, and geographical constraints of rubber plantation further drive the global market growth. In addition, the increasing use of butadiene derivatives such as acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) and nitrile rubber (NR) in multifarious applications such as gaskets and seals, footwear, and adhesives is further expected to drive the Butadiene Derivatives Market Growth worldwide.

Furthermore, the increasing use of butadiene & its derivatives in industrial and domestic applications coupled with a rising impetus to produce green tires derived from bio-based butadiene monomers are further creating lucrative opportunities for the players operating in Butadiene Derivatives Market.

However, butadiene has been listed as a carcinogenic agent by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). This is likely to limit the global market growth. Moreover, butadiene derivatives are non-biodegradable, resulting in several environment-related hazards such as an increase in global warming and emissions of GHG in the atmosphere. The growing environmental concerns are further expected to hamper its growth in the Butadiene Derivatives Market.
