Polybutadiene rubber (PBR) market is set to grow from an estimated USD 7,815.5 million in 2024 to USD 11.31 billion by 2033
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA, January 21, 2025 /EINPresswire / -- The global polybutadiene rubber (PBR) market is set to grow from an estimated USD 7,815.5 million in 2024 to USD 11.31 billion by 2033, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.20%. This growth is primarily fueled by the increasing demand for high-performance tires in the automotive industry, supported by advancements in manufacturing processes and sustainability initiatives.
The automotive sector remains the largest consumer of PBR, driven by the growing need for durable, fuel-efficient, and environmentally friendly tires. With the global vehicle production forecasted to grow by 3.5% in 2024, the demand for PBR, especially for tire applications, is expected to rise significantly. Innovations in tire technology, such as high-cis PBR compounds, are further boosting the performance of tires, making them more durable and reducing rolling resistance for improved fuel efficiency.

Major manufacturers like BASF and Michelin are investing heavily to meet this demand. In March 2024, BASF announced the expansion of its PBR production in Europe to cater to the growing global need for high-performance tires. Similarly, Michelin unveiled a new PBR-based tire compound designed to reduce CO2 emissions and enhance tire durability.
In addition to automotive applications, PBR is gaining traction in other industries such as conveyor belts, footwear, sports accessories, electrical cables, and pipes. These industries benefit from PBR's exceptional durability, flexibility, and resistance to wear and tear. As businesses seek to improve product longevity and performance, the use of PBR in these sectors continues to expand.
Sustainability: A Growing Opportunity and Challenge
The industry's focus on sustainability is creating both opportunities and challenges for the PBR market. The shift toward bio-based alternatives made from renewable resources presents an avenue for growth, aligning with global efforts to reduce environmental impact. However, the higher production costs of bio-based PBR remain a significant hurdle, limiting its widespread adoption.
Despite these challenges, initiatives like the European Tyre and Rubber Manufacturers' Association's push for sustainable raw materials signal a strong commitment to greener solutions in the industry. Companies are also exploring advanced production processes to enhance the environmental performance of PBR, opening doors for future innovation.
Automotive Tires: The Leading Segment
Automotive tires accounted for the largest share of the PBR market in 2023 and are expected to maintain their dominance through 2033. The growing production of vehicles, particularly electric vehicles (EVs) and larger vehicles like SUVs and trucks, is driving this demand. EVs, in particular, require tires with reduced rolling resistance to maximize range, further emphasizing the importance of high-performance PBR compounds.
The demand for sustainable tires is also on the rise, with leading manufacturers such as Bridgestone introducing PBR-based green tires that combine energy efficiency with superior performance. This trend aligns with consumer preferences for environmentally friendly products and stricter regulatory standards aimed at reducing carbon emissions.
Challenges in the Market
While the PBR market is poised for steady growth, it faces challenges related to the environmental impact of traditional petrochemical-derived products. The non-biodegradable nature of conventional PBR and its carbon footprint during production have raised concerns. Additionally, the transition to bio-based alternatives is slowed by higher costs and limited raw material availability.
Nevertheless, efforts to address these issues are underway, with companies exploring more efficient production methods and sustainable materials. These advancements are expected to support the long-term growth of the PBR market.
