H1 2023: The prominent producers of Styrene Butadiene Rubber (SBR) in the US in H1 2023 were Goodyear Tire and Rubber and Lion Elastomers. Due to altering dynamics of supply and demand in the USA, the SBR market showed mixed picture in H1 2023. In the first three months of 2023, USA SBR market had a bearish trend with prices continuously declining till March 2023. Due to falling feedstock styrene and butadiene prices and weak demand for SBR by the downstream automotive industry, the SBR market performance remained hazy. Suppliers were getting fewer queries in the US and the import prices remained on the lower side. The pressure on the supply chain was low in the US. Additionally, the US bank crisis hindered the demand-to-supply chain ratio in March which led to poor buying activity of SBR and led to the low prices of SBR in the US. However, April 2023 onwards, the market sentiments for styrene-butadiene rubber in the US switched to positive. Due to the high feedstock costs and fairly high demand for SBR by the downstream industries, the price of SBR inclined in the US and maintained a positive edge till June 2023. The rise in production and sale of automotives in the US resulted in higher consumption rate of SBR in the US and thus led to high prices of SBR. Furthermore, the increase in freight charges of SBR resulted in expensive imports from South Korea to the US and an increase in the SBR prices in the US market.
The USA Styrene Butadiene Rubber (SBR) market has projected a growth in the historical period of 2015-2022 and reached approximately 950 thousand tonnes in 2022 and is expected to further grow at a healthy CAGR of 5.14% during the forecast period until 2032. Due to the increased interlinking of polymer chains brought on by oxidation, SBR, unlike natural rubber which tends to harden rather than soften with time; thus, making it a suitable material for manufacturing tyres.
Styrene Butadiene Rubber (SBR) is a synthetic rubber which is created by copolymerizing butadiene and styrene. Emulsion polymerization technique is the most commonly employed process for its production. SBR has excellent mechanical properties such as heat resistance, high tensile strength, crack & tear resistance, and high resilience. Due to these reasons, it is widely used for manufacturing tyres, and often mixed with natural rubber to improvise its resilience. Tyres, conveyor belts, foam articles, adhesives and sealant, domestic ware mats, sink board trays, shoe soles and heels, chewy candy, food container adhesives, car mats, brake and clutch pads, tubing, V-belts, floor coverings, army tank pads, and rubberized battery box cases are just a few of the numerous applications for SBR.
Styrene Butadiene Rubber (SBR) demand in USA is majorly accounted by tyre industry. SBR is a popular abrasion-resistant substitute for natural rubber that is primarily utilized in the production of automobile tyres. With crack-resistance and thermal resistance, SBR is a perfect choice for manufacturing tyres. Owing to growth in population results in higher demand of vehicles and thus tyres, which is anticipated to swell the demand of SBR in USA. Furthermore, due to its non-slip nature, SBR is suitable for manufacturing footwear soles and heels, which contributes finely to the market growth. The USA Styrene Butadiene Rubber (SBR) market will most likely reach 1550 thousand tonnes by 2032.
Based on demand by region, the USA Styrene Butadiene Rubber (SBR) market is divided into West, Midwest, Northeast, Southwest, and Southeast. Among these regions, Southeast region is dominating the USA market. In 2022, this region accounted for a consumption of nearly 32% of the USA Styrene Butadiene Rubber (SBR) market. This demand is mainly backed up by the application of SBR in various industries such as automotive, polymer, shoe soles, adhesives, and more. Moreover, Texas is the leading producer of SBR in USA.
Based on type, the global Styrene Butadiene Rubber (SBR) market is divided into Emulsion Styrene Butadiene Rubber and Solution Styrene Butadiene Rubber. The Emulsion Styrene Butadiene Rubber is dominating the market and finds application in various industries including adhesives, automobiles, and others.
Based on the end-use industry, USA Styrene Butadiene Rubber (SBR) market is segmented into Tyres, Conveyor Belt, Shoe Sole, and Others. Among these, Tyre industry is the dominating the SBR market. In 2022, this sector accounted for roughly 80% of the demand and is anticipated to maintain its dominance over the forecast period. Growing demand of high-quality tyres for usage in electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles, and conventional vehicles is anticipated to increase the demand of SBR in the forthcoming years.
Major players in the production of USA Styrene Butadiene Rubber (SBR) are Goodyear Tire and Rubber, LANXESS AG, Lion Elastomers, Bridgestone Corporation, and others.
