The Global Butadiene Market size was valued at USD 13.12 Million in 2022 and is expected to surpass USD 18.21 Million by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 3.71% during the forecast period, 2023 – 2031. The growth of the market is attributed developing downstream industry globally.
Butadiene is a colorless and highly reactive gas, which is used for the production of rubber and plastic products. The resultant rubber and plastic products are used in industries such as automotive, construction, packaging, as well as protective clothing.
Butadiene is a major product of the petrochemical industry and an important building block for many consumer and industrial products. The chemical compound is primarily used as a chemical intermediate and a monomer in the manufacturing of polymers such as synthetic rubbers or elastomers. Polymers made from butadiene are used for production of carpet backing, plastic gloves, wetsuits, rubber hoses, and gaskets.

Butadiene Market Segment Insights
Polybutadiene (PBR) segment to grow at a rapid pace
Based on applications, the market is divided into polybutadiene (PBR), chloroprene, styrene-butadiene (SBR), nitrile rubber (acrylonitrile butadiene NBR), acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), adiponitrile, sulfolane, ethylidene norbornene, styrene butadiene latex, and others.
The polybutadiene (PBR) segment is anticipated to account for a major market share and is anticipated to grow at a robust rate, followed by the acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) segment. The contributing factors for the growth of the polybutadiene (PBR) segment is its increasing usage in the automotive industry, as it relies on PBR for non-tire applications, such as hoses, belts, and gaskets owing to its high resistance to cold temperatures.
Tire and rubber segment to account a major market share
Based on end user industry, the market is divided into plastic and polymer, tire and rubber, chemical, and others. The tire and rubber segment is anticipated to account for a major market share due to the growing automobile industry. Rising disposable income is contributing to the growth of the market segment.
Asia Pacific to account a considerable market share
On the basis of regions, the market is segregated into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa, and Latin America.
Asia Pacific is anticipated to account for a considerable market share owing to rising shale gas exploration, both in capacity and drilling techniques, making the region one of the top shale gas suppliers worldwide. India-based industry players are working on developing the shale gas exploration in its coastal regions along with the collaboration of the US companies. Thus, such factor is driving the growth of the market in the region.
