Polyisobutylene Industry Overview

The global Polyisobutylene Market size is expected to reach USD 2.53 billion by 2028, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. It is expected to expand at a CAGR of 4.0% from 2021 to 2028. The market is anticipated to expand in the years to come due to the growth of the automotive, electrical and electronics, food packaging, and building and construction industries across the globe.

Polyisobutylene exhibits low gas and moisture permeability, high thickening efficiency, good shear stability, good electrical insulation, adhesive, and tackifier properties, and resilience to UV. These properties make it suitable to manufacture filler compounds, adhesives, and sealants, tubeless tire inner lining, lubricants additives, fuel additives, wrap films, and cable insulation materials.

Major players are entering into partnerships to increase the polyisobutylene manufacturing capacity. For instance, in January 2019, Saudi Aramco and Total Energies entered into an agreement with Daelim Co., Ltd. to build a new polyisobutylene plant, which is expected to come on-stream in 2024. The facility will be located in Saudi Arabia and will give Daelim Co., Ltd. the opportunity to service customers in the Middle East and markets across Europe and Asia.
