Butadiene Rubber (BR) Industry Analysis
The global butadiene rubber (BR) market size reached USD 8.5 Billion in 2024. By 2033, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 14.02 Billion, at a projected CAGR of 5.20% during 2025-2033.
- Most butadiene rubber ends up in tires, especially for passenger and commercial vehicles. This rubber has high resilience, abrasion resistance, and low rolling resistance, which helps increase fuel efficiency, something automakers and fleet owners care about to cut costs and meet tighter emission rules. BR blends well with natural rubber and styrene-butadiene rubber to make treads and sidewalls more durable. As vehicle ownership keeps expanding in emerging economies like India, Brazil, and Southeast Asia, replacement tire demand also rises. Many highways and roads in these regions remain underdeveloped, so tires wear faster, driving replacement cycles up.
- Beyond tires, butadiene rubber sees a strong pull from footwear, sports goods, and everyday molded products. Its good abrasion resistance, flexibility, and impact strength make it popular for shoe soles, athletic gear, and protective goods. Rising incomes in Asia-Pacific and Latin America mean people spend more on branded shoes, sports equipment, and durable household items, many of which use BR for its cushioning effect. Footwear makers blend BR with other elastomers to hit the right balance between grip, softness, and durability. Lightweight, slip-resistant soles are a big selling point for sports shoes and casual wear alike. Brands that push trendy designs often want custom rubber compounds that only BR can provide cost-effectively.
- Butadiene rubber feeds industrial belts, hoses, seals, gaskets, and other heavy-duty goods that hold up under tough conditions. Construction and mining firms use BR-based conveyor belts and protective linings because the rubber handles wear and tear well. Big infrastructure projects in Asia and the Middle East, such as bridges, roads, tunnels, and pipelines, need a steady supply of hoses, vibration mounts, and protective sheets, many of which depend on BR for impact and weather resistance. Industrial equipment makers favor BR because it’s flexible yet tough in harsh temperatures. Emerging economies keep pushing investments into energy, railways, and smart cities, which indirectly supports BR demand. Growth in industrial production and automation also drives higher use of belts and seals, ensuring a steady need for butadiene rubber.

The study will assess the commercial and economic feasibility of turning ethanol into butadiene, as well as the carbon footprint from the conversion.
- January 2024: Axens, IFP Energies nouvelles (IFPEN), and Michelin launched an industrial-scale demonstrator in Bassens, France, for the synthesis of bio-based butadiene, a crucial component in the manufacturing of synthetic rubber.
Product Description
Butadiene rubber (BR) is a synthetic rubber primarily produced through the polymerization of 1,3-butadiene. It is renowned for its exceptional resilience, abrasion resistance, and ability to perform under low temperatures. This rubber is one of the most commonly used synthetic elastomers and is frequently blended with other rubbers, such as styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) or natural rubber, to enhance performance in various applications.
The key properties of butadiene rubber include high elasticity, good wear resistance, and low rolling resistance, making it particularly suitable for manufacturing automobile tires, especially in the tread and sidewall sections. Additionally, BR is used in footwear soles, conveyor belts, golf balls, and various mechanical goods due to its ability to absorb impacts and endure flexing without cracking.
