The North America polyisobutylene market is expected to reach US$ 1,290.0 million by 2028 from US$ 943.2 million in 2021. The market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 4.6% from 2021 to 2028.


The automotive industry has been the key market for several types of fuel additives for many years. The share for automobiles has continuously been higher than that of the other fuel additives market segment due to the lack of efficient fossil fuel alternatives and an increasing middle-class economy. The relative importance of aviation for fuel additives has boosted in recent years, ultimately mounting the demand for polyisobutylene. Moreover, increasing use of polyisobutylene-based butyl rubber in developing automobile parts including gaskets, hosepipes, and window strips due to superior thermal stability, flexibility, and improved oxidation resistance is expected to fuel the demand in automotive sector over the forecast period.

The U.S has the highest number of confirmed cases of coronavirus, as, compared to Canada and Mexico. This is likely to impact the chemical and materials industry in the region as, due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the supply chain is likely to get affected. In addition, the overall manufacturing processes, research, and development activities will also impact market growth.

With the new features and technologies, vendors can attract new customers and expand their footprints in emerging markets. This factor is likely to drive the polyisobutylene market. The North America polyisobutylene market is expected to grow at a good CAGR during the forecast period.

Aggregation of sales statistics (2020-2022) and macro-economic factor, and other secondary and primary research insights are utilized to arrive at base number and related market shares for 2022. The data gaps are identified in this step and relevant market data is analyzed, collected from paid primary interviews or databases. On finalizing the base year market size, forecasts are developed on the basis of macro-economic, industry and market growth factors and company level analysis.

  1. Data Triangulation and Final Review:

The market findings and base year market size calculations are validated from supply as well as demand side. Demand side validations are based on macro-economic factor analysis and benchmarks for respective regions and countries. In case of supply side validations, revenues of major companies are estimated (in case not available) based on industry benchmark, approximate number of employees, product portfolio, and primary interviews revenues are gathered.
