Market Overview:
The global polybutene market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The growth in the market can be attributed to the increasing demand for polybutene from various applications, such as piping systems, plastic packaging, adhesives and sealants, masterbatches, chewing gum and fuel and lubricant additives. In terms of volume, Asia Pacific is expected to lead the global market during the forecast period.
Product Definition:
A polymer of butene with the formula (C4H8)n. It is a colorless, odorless, tasteless liquid that is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. Polybutene is used as a raw material for the manufacture of polyethylene and other plastics.
PB-1:
Polybutene is a polymer with high demand in various industries such as automotive, construction, and electrical & electronics. It has the ability to be processed at low temperatures which makes it suitable for use in pipes and plumbing of building structures. The growth of these end-use industries particularly in emerging markets like India and China is expected to drive the global market over the forecast period.
PIB:
Polybutene is a polymer, which is extensively used in the manufacturing of flexible PVC pipes. It has high demand due to its properties such as flexibility and low cost compared to other polymers. The global market for polybutene was estimated at USD 3,500 million in 2016 and it is expected to grow at a CAGR of XX% over the forecast period. Increasing construction spending especially on infrastructure related projects are anticipated to drive growth over the forecast period.
Application Insights:
The piping systems application segment led the global polybutene market in 2017 and is projected to witness significant growth over the forecast period. The segment is estimated to account for 21.0% of the overall market by 2030. Polybutene has excellent properties including low shrinkage, high flexibility, and good tensile strength which make it suitable for use in various piping systems such as tubing & pipes for water & steam heating applications, natural gas processing plants among others.
Plastic packaging was another prominent application of polybutene with a volume share of 17% in 2017 owing to its properties such as impact resistance and moldability that make them ideal plasticizers especially when it comes to PVC compounds.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific dominated the global polybutene market in 2016 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The growth of this region can be attributed to rising product demand from various end-use industries, such as plastic packaging, adhesives & sealants, piping systems, and masterbatches. China is one of the largest consumers of polybutene owing to rapid industrialization along with growing domestic consumption for manufacturing various products such as footwear, apparel & accessories.
The Asia Pacific regional market was followed by Europe in terms of volume share in 2016 owing to high demand from several major end-use industries including plastic packaging and adhesives & sealants. However, Asia Pacific is anticipated to emerge as a prominent region due its increasing population along with rising disposable income levels which will drive product consumption across numerous applications sectors including food processing machinery; automotive; construction materials; medical equipment etc., thereby driving industry growth over the projected period.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand from end-use industries such as automotive, construction and packaging is expected to drive the polybutene market growth.
- Rising demand for lightweight and fuel-efficient vehicles is anticipated to propel the polybutene market growth over the forecast period.
- Growing infrastructure development in emerging economies is projected to boost the polybutene market growth in near future.
- Increasing use of polybutene in adhesives, sealants and coatings is likely to propel its demand over the forecast period .
