Market Overview
The global polyisobutylene (PIB) market reached US$ XX million in 2022 and is projected to witness lucrative growth by reaching up to US$ XX million by 2030. The market is growing at a CAGR of 6.9% during the forecast period (2023-2030).
A synthetic rubber, or elastomer, is polyisobutylene. Because it is the only rubber that is gas-impermeable, it is unique. It is the only rubber with a lengthy air-holding capacity. Polyisobutylene, sometimes PIB or butyl rubber, is a vinyl polymer. Structure-wise, it is extremely similar to polyethylene and polypropylene, except every other carbon atom is replaced with two methyl groups. It is produced by cationic vinyl polymerization from the monomer isobutylene.

Market Dynamics
The growing construction industry
Due to its tackiness and stability, which make it ideal for various hot melt pressure sensitive adhesives, polyisobutylene offers many benefits in the construction industry as adhesives & sealants. Additionally, the need for machinery and equipment for manufacturing facilities is being fueled by an increase in industrialization and construction around the world. As a result, hydraulic fluids and sealants are utilized extensively in these sectors. Excellent sealant qualities of polyisobutylene include a reduction in shrinkage.
The usage in tires & tubes manufacturing
A significant market driver is an expanding tire and tube demand. The market's primary demand generators are strong rubbers used to make the tires. Polyisobutylene is a rubber that can be altered to suit any requirement. The product is appropriate for the tire industry because of its low molecular weight. Synthetic polyisobutylene is composed of both solids and oligomers. It is an elastomer rubber with the appropriate flexibility and sturdiness at the same time. Its flexibility and variety of functions contribute to a higher adoption rate. Synthetic rubbers made of polyisobutylene are now used more frequently in the automotive industry. The Automotive is suited for this technique due to its high tensile strength and flexibility.
Segment Analysis
The global polyisobutylene market is segmented based on molecular weight, application, end-user and region.
The rising demand for automotive drives the growth of the segment

Key Developments
- BASF SE introduced its polyisobutylene product in North America market in February 2021 under the trade name OPPANOL C. To decrease manufacturing stages for clients and shorten the time it takes to manufacture a product, OPPANOL C is made in one-inch chips. It allows for easier and quicker processing.
- BASF is planning to invest roughly US$10 billion in the new "Verbund" site; if China doesn't find a partner company, it's expected that China will eventually possess the entire site. The new BASF project is their largest investment to date. Additionally, the business intends to launch its first facilities in 2029.
- The chemical giant Lanxess AG plans to invest US$500 million in North America between now and 2022 to upgrade and expand Brownfield sites.
