eport Ocean in its recent study, estimated the Global Styrene Butadiene Rubber (SBR) Market size by value at USD 12.89 billion in 2023. During the forecast period between 2024 and 2030, Report Ocean expects the Global Styrene Butadiene Rubber (SBR) Market size to expand at a CAGR of 7.55% reaching a value of USD 15.63 billion by 2030. The Global Styrene Butadiene Rubber (SBR) Market is propelled by a growing demand for rubber in the automotive sector, the surging sales of footwear featuring rubber soles, rapid industrialization in emerging economies, and the increasing need for high-performance lightweight tires. The constrained availability of natural rubber is expected to drive the demand for various SBR products, including SBR polymers, styrene-butadiene rubber latex, styrene-butadiene rubber powder, carboxylate styrene-butadiene rubber, and others during the forecast period. The growing demand for styrene-butadiene rubber in the industrial sector is also expected to play a pivotal role in shaping the market trajectory up to 2032.

According to analyses by the Mecs Study Centre of the trade association Amaplast, after positive consolidated year-end results for both imports and exports in 2023, imports were consistently lower in the early months of 2024 with respect to the same period a year earlier, with drops entering into the double digits in the second quarter. This is a symptom of lower propensity to invest within a context of contraction in the economy generally and in the industrial sector specifically. The period closed with a drop of 12 percentage points to a value of 483 million euros, with imports noticeably declining from all three main source countries: Germany, China, Austria.

The global market for Carboxylated Nitrile Rubber (XNBR) is experiencing notable growth, driven by its expanding applications across various industries. As of 2022, the market size for XNBR is valued at approximately USD 4 billion. Forecasts indicate that this figure will rise to USD 5.92 billion by 2032, reflecting a steady compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4% from 2022 to 2032 according to Future Market Insights. This growth is indicative of the increasing demand for high-performance rubber materials in automotive, aerospace, and industrial applications.

According to research report by Prophecy Market Insights, the global nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) latex market size was valued at USD 4.21 Billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 6.79 Billion by 2034, growing at a CAGR of 5.4%.

Global demand for silicones is forecast to grow 3.2% yearly, reaching 3 million metric tons – valued at $29.9 billion – in 2028 according to Research and Markets. Gains will be supported by accelerating construction and manufacturing activity, as well as an improvement in motor vehicle production. The continuing uptake of silicones in lower income countries will also support demand increases. In value terms, gains will be boosted by greater use of better-performing silicones in high-income countries.
