India Polyisobutylene Market Research Report and Industry Forecast

India Polyisobutylene Market Overview:

The India polyisobutylene market size reached USD 81.72 Million in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 111.37 Million by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 3.50% during 2025-2033. The rising product demand in automotive applications, particularly for fuel additives and lubricants, the expanding pharmaceutical, and the increasing investments in sustainable and high-performance synthetic rubber are among the key factors propelling the market growth.

India Polyisobutylene Market Trends:

Expansion of the Adhesives and Sealants Industry

India’s adhesives and sealants market has experienced remarkable growth, driven by rapid urbanization and expansion in construction and infrastructure. Polyisobutylene, valued for its flexibility and impermeability, is a key component in pressure-sensitive and hot-melt adhesives used for sealing joints, protecting electrical wiring, and preventing moisture ingress. With India’s urban population expected to cross 500 million by 2025, the rising number of residential and commercial construction projects has fueled the demand for advanced adhesives and sealants. The National Investment Pipeline (NIP) has earmarked USD 1.4 trillion for infrastructure development, with major investments in renewable energy, roads, highways, urban infrastructure, and railways. Additionally, India’s office market is projected to achieve record leasing activity in 2025, with gross leasing expected to hit 65-70 million square feet, further driving the need for durable sealants. Government initiatives like the "Smart Cities Mission" and Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana-Urban (PMAY-U), which has sanctioned 1.18 crore houses, have also intensified demand, leading to a significant rise in polyisobutylene-based adhesive consumption.

Increasing Demand for High-Performance Lubricants in the Automotive Sector

India’s automotive industry continues its strong growth trajectory, establishing the nation as a key global automobile producer. Polyisobutylene plays a vital role in this sector, particularly in high-performance lubricants and fuel additives, enhancing viscosity, reducing engine deposits, and improving fuel efficiency. According to the Organization Internationale des Constructeurs d'Automobiles (OICA), India’s automotive production surged by 30% in 2021, reaching 4,399,112 units, followed by a 24% rise in 2022, totaling 5.45 million units. This sharp increase in vehicle manufacturing has directly driven the demand for lubricants, amplifying polyisobutylene consumption. By the end of 2025, India’s electric vehicle (EV) market is projected to witness a major shift, with EV launches outpacing petrol and diesel models, potentially doubling EV sales to 4% of total car sales and contributing 200,000 units to the passenger vehicle segment. Despite fewer moving parts, EVs still require specialized lubricants, further increasing the demand for polyisobutylene-based formulations. Additionally, growing concerns over fuel efficiency and emission reduction have accelerated the adoption of polyisobutylene-based additives, positioning the lubricant additives segment for substantial expansion.
