Growing environmental concerns have led companies and consumers to search for alternatives to conventional materials derived from petroleum. Renewable resources such as biomass or feedstock obtained from plants are used to create bio-polybutadiene. It has a less carbon footprint as compared to the conventional polybutadiene.
This makes it an environmentally friendly substitute, lessening the negative effects of several industries on the environment such as the construction, automobile, and medical sectors. Therefore, the market for bio-polybutadiene is anticipated to rise during the forecast period, due to the increasing demand for sustainability.
Rubber materials and bio-polybutadiene are widely and extensively used in the automobile industry. The global market has witnessed a surge in demand for bio-polybutadiene rubber, majorly from the automobile and tire industries. Synthetic rubber is popular in electric vehicles, as it performs better than conventional materials, which in turn increases the demand for these vehicles.
Government regulations and the improving regulatory environment encourage the use of synthetic rubber in the expansion of the electric vehicle sector. The demand for bio-polybutadiene is anticipated to rise during the forecast period, due to the global recovery of the automotive industry and the growing use of electric vehicles.
Governments across the globe have designed policies and regulations to upstream the usage of bio-polybutadiene to reduce the usage of greenhouse gas emissions.
Various companies are adapting the usage of bio-polybutadiene and taking the initiative into tax benefits, grants, and subsidies, which are helping the companies to adapt the usage of bio-polybutadiene. The initiatives have impacted positively on the bio-polybutadiene market by creating a favorable environment.
The bio-polybutadiene supply is still less as compared to petroleum that is used in vehicles. This crisis in the availability of bio-polybutadiene in an inexpensive manner is the main reason to increase in the cost value of bio-polybutadiene in the market. This limited supply restricts some industries from using bio-polybutadiene, and therefore, the usage of bio-polybutadiene is degraded at the industrial level.

On the basis of source type, the market is divided into biomass, sugar, and others. The sugarcane segment held XX% market share in 2022 and is expected to hold XX% market share in 2031.
According to the bio-polybutadiene market trends, the market is expected to be dominated by sugarcane in terms of source over the forecast period. Sugarcane juice is transformed into bio-based butadiene using a fermentation method, which is then polymerized to create sugarcane-based bio-polybutadiene.
Sugarcane is a profitable source for the production of bio-polybutadiene, as it is a highly renewable crop that is produced in tropical and subtropical climates with plenty of sunshine and rainfall. It also contains a lot of sugar, which is easily transformed into bio-based compounds such as butadiene.
On the basis of application, the market is divided into tire, head lamps, PU-foam, insulated glass, chlorinated rubbers, Electrical insulations, and others.
The tire segment led the market and accounted for approximately XX% of global revenue in 2022, due to its high resilience and excellent wear resistance properties.
The usage of bio-polybutadiene in tire production is increasing as compared to conventional synthetic rubber. Bio-polybutadiene is a synthetic rubber type that has no negative impact on the environment, as it comes from renewable resources such as plant-based components. Moreover, it possesses certain qualities that raises the tire performance.
The potential of bio-polybutadiene to increase tire rolling resistance and wet traction is its key benefits in tire production. Bio-polybutadiene has a higher glass transition temperature as compared to conventional synthetic rubber, making it increasingly resistant to deformation at high temperatures. Therefore, the tires have reduced rolling resistance and enhanced traction on wet surfaces, which increases the fuel economy. In addition to these advantages, using bio-polybutadiene in tire production lessens the carbon footprint. Tire producers reduce their dependency on fossil fuels and their greenhouse gas emissions by producing synthetic rubber from renewable resources.
