Polyisobutylene Market: Players Focus on Capacity Expansion for Increased Output, TMR

Transparency Market Research, as per one of its recent reports, observes the global polyisobutylene (PIB) market to be highly consolidated with a handful of multinational players that operate globally and occupy leading shares. However, the scenario is expected to change with the emergence of aspiring players from Asia that may alter the market share of leading players.


BASF SE, The Lubrizol Corporation, TPC Group Inc., INEOS Group Ltd, Kothari Petrochemicals Limited, and Shandong Hongrui Petrochemical Co. Ltd. are to name some of the key companies operating in the global polyisobutylene market. Expansion of core products and divesting from other products is on the cards of businesses to strengthen their presence in the market. TPC Group Inc., for example, sold its Baytown operations of manufacture of nonene, tetramer, and other propylene derivatives to SI Group. This is to help the company focus on its core businesses such as polyisobutylene.
Another noticeable trend observed in the global polyisobutylene market is players vying for capacity expansion. The well-entrenched players are engaged in capacity expansion for higher output of core business products so as to meet the rising demand from end-use industries.
As per estimates by a report by Transparency Market Research, the global polyisobutylene market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 5.6% between 2017 and 2025 for the market to be worth US$6.39 bn by 2025 increasing from US$3.92 bn in 2016.
Tires and Tubes Application Segment to Remain Dominant
The segments of the global polyisobutylene market classified based upon molecular weight are low, medium, and high. High molecular weight PIB, amongst all, was the clear leader in 2016 with a whopping 70% market share. On the other hand, medium molecular weight segment is set to rise with the rising demand for lubricants with the booming automobiles and manufacturing industries.
Tires and tubes stood as the leading application segment accounting for more than 45% of the market in terms of volume. In the upcoming years, the segment is expected to continue its dominance on the back of continual growth of the global automotive industry.
From a regional perspective, Asia Pacific presently dominates the global polyisobutylene market followed by North America and Europe.

Automotive Industry Ramps Polyisobutylene Demand
One of the key growth factors of the global polyisobutylene market is the thriving automotive industry, which has been expanding significantly in Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East and Africa. This is because polyisobutylene is majorly used in the manufacture of tire linings and tubeless tires, which are essential components of the automotive industry. The global tire market is expected to rise at a CAGR of over 4% between 2017 and 2025, is expected to have a positive bearing on the development of polyisobutylene market.
Another factor stoking growth of the market is on account of use of polyisobutylene as an additive in the manufacture of various lubricant oils and motor fuels. Also, PIB when added to diesel oil benefits the environment in terms of reducing hydrocarbons and particulate emissions. Furthermore, PIB when added to lubricants improves viscosity and extreme pressure resistance of products.
However, the growth of the global polyisobutylene market is majorly challenged due to environmental concerns related to PIB spills,” says the lead analyst of the study. Nevertheless, rising awareness regarding the use of recyclable polyisobutylene materials is anticipated to present growth opportunities over the forecast period.
The global polyisobutylene market is segmented as follows:
Polyisobutylene Market: Molecular Weight Type Analysis
  • Low
  • Medium
  • High
Polyisobutylene Market: Application Analysis
  • Tires & Tubes
  • Automotive
  • Lubricants
  • Adhesives & Sealants
  • Others (Medical, Chewing Gum, Detergents, and Dispersants etc.)

The information presented is based on the findings of a report by Transparency Market Research, titled “Polyisobutylene Market (Molecular Weight Type – Low, Medium, and High; Application - Tires & Tubes, Automotive, Lubricants, and Adhesives & Sealants) - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Forecast 2017 - 2025.

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...
