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.”

Oil and Gas Pipeline Leak Detection Equipment Market Driven by Stringent Government Regulations

Although renewable resources of energy have gained substantial popularity in the recent past, there is no foreseeable limitation to the escalating demand for oil and gas, with the growing population and rapid urbanization. Consequently, the demand in the global market for oil and gas pipeline leak detection equipment is projected for a robust CAGR of 6.8% during the forecast period of 2016 to 2024, according to a recent report by Transparency Market Research (TMR). As per the estimations of the TMR report, the global oil and gas pipeline leak detection equipment market will be worth US$3.65 bn by the end of 2024, significantly up from its evaluated valuation of US$2.02 bn in 2015. Some of the key factors augmenting the demand in the oil and gas pipeline leak detection equipment market are: development and expansion of existing pipelines and construction of new pipelines, increasing incidents of oil and gas leakages in pipeline and storage tanks at production facilities, and

Welding Products Market Growth in Wind Power Sector to Create Opportunities, TMR

The global welding products market is moderately fragmented with the key players such as Lincoln Electric, ESAB, and ITW leading in the market. These three players accounted for a collective share of 30% in 2013, states a new report by Transparency Market Research (TMR). This market is capital intensive and thus, local vendors find it difficult to compete with the larger players. Local players are unable to compete with large players on the basis of quality, services, functionalities, and features. Thus, these small players are entering into the market by introducing products that are low in price. Some of the players operating in the welding products market are: Voestalpine AG, Sonics & Materials Inc., Fronius International GmbH, Rofin-Sinar Technologies Inc., Arcon Welding, Bohler, Panasonic, Daihen Corp, and OBARA Co. In order to increase their production capacities and focus on innovations, companies are adopting the strategy of merging or acquiring other players. Acco

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 prototypi
