[Research Report] The polyisobutylene market was valued at US$ 2,871.14 million in 2021 and is projected to reach US$ 3,891.16 million by 2028; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.4% from 2021 to 2028.
Polyisobutylene (PIB) is an elastomer or a synthetic rubber. By molecular weight, the market is segmented into low, medium, and high. It is a versatile, non-toxic, and water-white viscous liquid. Polyisobutylene can increase tackiness, provide water-repellency, improve viscosity-index, and provide excellent electrical insulation.
In 2020, North America held the largest revenue share of the global polyisobutylene market. Rising demands from various applications, such as transportation, agrochemical, electrical, and adhesive, drive the growth of the market in North America. Polyisobutylene is increasingly utilized in the transportation, food, and construction industries as it offers low gas permeability, excellent tensile strength, high chemical resistance, and increased stiffness.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Polyisobutylene Market
The COVID-19 pandemic drastically altered the status of the chemicals & materials sector and negatively impacted the growth of the polyisobutylene market.The global chemical & materials industry is one of the major industries suffering serious disruptions of the pandemic, such as supply chain breaks, technology events cancellations, and office shutdowns. The global travel bans imposed by countries in Europe, Asia, and North America are affecting the business collaborations and partnerships opportunities. All these factors are anticipated to affect the electronics and chemical & materials industry in a negative manner, which hinders the growth of various markets related to these industries. However, as the economies are planning to revive their operations, the demand for polyisobutylene is expected to rise globally. The demand for polyisobutylene from the downstream industrial lubes and lube additives sectors has started rising with the resumption of business activities and the lifting of lockdown measures globally. Market Insights
Automotive Industry to Fuel Market Growth During Forecast Period
For the automotive industry, performance of engines to perform their daily functions is important. 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.
Application Insights
Based on application, the global polyisobutylene market is segmented into tires, industrial lubes and lube additives, fuel additives, adhesives and sealants, and others. The industrial lubes and lube additives segment held the largest share of the market in 2020. Polyisobutylene (PIB) reacts with maleic anhydride to form polyisobutenyl- succinic-anhydride (PIBSA), a basic building block for dispersants in lube oils and detergents in fuels. Its other variant polyisobutylene-succinimide (PIBSI) derived from polyisobutylene (PIB) acts as an antioxidant emulsifier in soluble metalworking fluids and a lube additive building block. PIB also burn cleaner, making them ideal for use in two-stroke engines oils and marine applications where lubricants are subjected to harsh blow-by gases from huge diesel engines.
BASF SE, Braskem S.A., Daelim Industrial Petrochemical Division, Ineos AG, Infineum International Limited., Kothari Petrochemicals., Sibur Holding PJSC, Kemat Polybutenes, The Lubrizol Corporation, and TPC Group are among the key players in the global polyisobutylene market. Players operating in the market are highly focused on developing high-quality and innovative product offerings to fulfill the customer's requirements.
