In November 2025, Halo Butyl Rubber prices in North America rose slightly by 0.8% amid steady demand and moderate inventory flows. Production rates were stable but cautious, as limited supplies of feedstock, Isobutylene, and volatility in the crude oil market added pressure on the product production costs. Export rates showed cautious stability, with diversified trade routes and firm overseas demand helping balance risks. At the same time, Halo Butyl Rubber demand remained steady but limited in the U.S., shaped by consistent activities in the automotive and construction sectors. Automotive use continued in tire inner liners, sealing systems, and vibration-dampening parts. Construction demand was also stable as high costs and weak residential activity restrained volumes. Prices are expected to rise further in the coming weeks as inventories remain tight due to production slowdown during winter. Additionally, shipping delays and an increase in energy and raw material costs will add pressure to the product prices.
