TMR also foretells, the global polyisobutylene market to reach US$5.3 bn by the end of 2023. The market is expected to reach this valuation at a CAGR of 5.40% between 2015 and 2023 and from an overall value of US$3.3 bn in 2014. Asia Pacific is currently in lead amongst the key regional segments of the global polyisobutylene market. In 2014, the region held over 55% of the overall demand witnessed by the global market. Based on application, the automotive sector is expected to remain dominant through the course of the forecast period. In 2014, the segment occupied the lead with a share of 73% in the overall market.
Global Polyisobutylene Market
Rising Demand from Automotive Sector to Aid Market’s Growth
With the automotive industry at the fore, enterprises operating in the global polyisobutylene segment will gain from the rising demand for tires and tubes. “Among the diverse rubbers such as styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), nitrile rubber, and polyisobutylene used to manufacture tubes, the demand for polyisobutylene is expected to pace higher,” said a lead TMR analyst. In addition polyisobutylene is used in manufacturing the inner liners of tires due to its impermeable nature. This feature is also considered expedient in producing tubeless tires, the expanding market for which is expected to translate into increased sales opportunities for the polyisobutylene market.
Besides this, owing to the use of polyisobutylene as base polymer and modifier in a wide range of adhesives and sealants will prove highly lucrative for the market. “Polyisobutylene is tacky and stable, due to which, it is increasingly used in adhesives and sealants – a trend which is expected to gain pace over the course of the forecast period,” observed the TMR report’s author. “Additionally, the leading enterprises are also expected to capitalize from the increasing use of polyisobutylene in medical packaging,” he added.
Regulations to Curb Repeated Incidents of Polyisobutylene Spills to Pose Threat
On the downside, the market could face challenge from concerns regarding negative environmental impacts of polyisobutylene spill. The repeated incidents of polyisobutylene spill pose danger to ecology, which is raising global concerns. Stringent regulations aimed at curbing such incidence are posing threat to the global polyisobutylene market. Nevertheless, the market sees scope in the development of recoverable and recyclable polyisobutylene. The innovation is expected to open new avenues for growth for the market. Besides this, the rising use of polyisobutylene as synthetic rubber due to its superlative impermeability is also expected to increase the market’ scope for expansion in the near future.
The report segments the global polyisobutylene market as:
By Product
  • Medium Molecular Weight Polyisobutylene
  • Others
By Application
  • Automotive
  • Additive
  • Others (Chewing Gum, Sports Equipment, Medical Bottle Stoppers, etc.)
This study is based on a TMR report, titled “Polyisobutylene Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast 2015 - 2023.”

Superabrasives (Turning, Cutting, Buffing, Drilling, Boring, Grinding) Market Research Report 2025

An abrasive is a material which molds or provides finishing to a work piece through a process which includes buffing, grinding, cutting, as well as polishing. Abrasion typically depends on the difference in the hardness of the material and the abrasive (with the latter being the harder of the two). Unlike regular abrasion where any two solid materials that repeatedly rub against each other tend to wear away, superabrasives possess the kind of hardness that enables them to stay usable for a longer period of time. On the basis of hardness, the top two superabrasives include diamond and cubic boron nitride (CBN). Industrial diamonds used as superabrasives are exceptionally hard materials. However, they display several technological limitations. For instance, when a diamond comes in contact with a ferrous alloy such as steel or a nickel superalloy, the resulting formation of carbide leads to its abrasion. Also, a diamond-containing tool can only be used at moderate temperatures a...

Industrial Lubricants Market: Strong Demand Across Automotive Industry, Trends To 2025

Lubricants refer to the organic or inorganic material primarily being use to decrease friction between two surfaces in contact. Lubricants play a key role in several industries as well as in commercial and residential sectors. One of their most common uses is in the lubrication of bearings and gears, allowing for their easy movement at high speeds, without loss in energy, prevent excessive generation of heat, or most importantly, prevent damage that would be caused otherwise. Industrial lubricants are, therefore, essential in enhancing the overall efficiency of a machine that contains moving parts in contact with one another. The global industrial lubricants market is currently expanding at a solid growth rate, driven by several factors and spearheaded by the likes of BP, Total, Chevron Corporation, ExxonMobil, and Shell.

Rapid Prototyping Market - Rapidly Gaining Importance in Aerospace Sector, Research By 2024

Rapid prototyping is a technique in which the physical modeling of a design is done with the help of specialized machining technology. It was developed initially in the mid-1980s, the principle used in this technology is of solid modeling with the help of computer programs (i.e. CAD). Solid modeling makes use of computer aided-design (CAD) data to completely describe not just the external shape of parts or equipment, but its interior volume as well as the outside surfaces. The computer model is sliced into thin layers and the part of the product or commodity to be modelled or developed as per the requirement, is eventually fabricated by adding layers onto each other. Obtain Report Details @   http://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/rapid-prototyping-market.html The primary benefit of the system is that almost any shape can be manufactured using computerized programs. Time and money savings vary from 50% to 90% compared to conventional systems. Types of rapid proto...
