Polybutadiene rubber is an elastomeric synthetic rubber manufactured through the anionic or coordination polymerization of butadiene monomers. It is commonly available in solid and liquid variants. Polybutadiene rubber is blended with natural rubber and styrene-butadiene rubber for the manufacturing of tires, tire carcasses, sidewalls, under-treads, conveyor belts, sportswear and automotive components. It exhibits various favorable properties, such as low vinyl content, resilience and high elasticity and resistance to abrasion and low temperatures. It is also used as an additive to enhance the toughness and impact resistance of rubber-based products. As a result, polybutadiene rubber finds extensive applications for polymer modification, chemical and industrial rubber manufacturing.
Significant growth in the automotive industry across the globe is one of the key factors creating a positive outlook for the market. Polybutadiene rubber is widely used in the manufacturing of high-quality components in luxury and semi utility vehicles (SUVs) to provide enhanced comfort to the user. Moreover, the increasing demand for chemical-resistant materials and advanced rubbers is providing a thrust to the market growth. Liquid polybutadiene rubber is widely used for the manufacturing of elastomers, hoses, belts, rubber bands, shoes, coatings and adhesives. In line with this, the rising requirement for low-cost and durable substitutes for natural rubber with superior chemical and physical properties is also contributing to the growth of the market. Additionally, various product innovations, such as the utilization of bio feedstock and other natural resources for the manufacturing of synthetic rubber, are favoring the market growth. Other factors, including rising expenditure capacities of the consumers, along with rapid industrialization, especially in the developing economies, are anticipated to drive the market toward growth.

We expect the global polybutadiene rubber market to exhibit a CAGR of 4.4% during 2025-2033.
The rising adoption of polybutadiene rubber across the automotive industry for manufacturing high-quality components in luxury and Semi Utility Vehicles (SUVs) to provide enhanced comfort to the user, is primarily driving the global polybutadiene rubber market.
The sudden outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic had led to the implementation of stringent lockdown regulations across several nations resulting in the temporary halt in numerous production activities for polybutadiene rubber.
Based on the product, the global polybutadiene rubber market has been segregated into high cis, low cis, high trans, and high vinyl. Among these, high cis currently holds the largest market share.
Based on the application, the global polybutadiene rubber market can be bifurcated into tire manufacturing, polymer modification, and industrial rubber manufacturing. Currently, tire manufacturing exhibits a clear dominance in the market.
On a regional level, the market has been classified into North America, Asia-Pacific, Europe, Latin America, and Middle East and Africa, where North America currently dominates the global market.
Some of the major players in the global polybutadiene rubber market include Evonik Industries AG, JSR Corporation, Kuraray Co. Ltd., Lanxess AG, LG Chem Ltd., LyondellBasell Industries Holdings B.V., Nippon Soda Co. Ltd., Reliance Industries Limited, Saudi Arabia Basic Industries Corporation (SABIC), Synthomer plc, Synthos (FTF Galleon S.A.), The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, and UBE Industries Ltd.
