During the second quarter of 2026, the n-butylene and isobutylene prices in China reached 1165 USD/MT in June. Prices moved upward as higher feedstock costs increased the production cost base for C4 olefin streams. Domestic refinery and petrochemical operations continued to provide comparatively stable material availability, which limited the intensity of the increase. The combination of firm downstream consumption, higher production costs, and stable but controlled availability therefore supported the upward movement in Chinese prices.
During the second quarter of 2026, the n-butylene and isobutylene prices in Indonesia reached 1142 USD/MT in June. Prices increased as higher international feedstock costs raised the replacement cost of C4 olefin material entering the Indonesian market. Import exposure remained an important influence because changes in international petrochemical availability could be reflected in domestic supplier quotations.
During the second quarter of 2026, the n-butylene and isobutylene prices in Germany reached 1612 USD/MT in June. Prices remained elevated as European feedstock economics continued to reflect higher naphtha and energy related costs. The region's exposure to imported feedstock and disrupted international supply routes increased the cost sensitivity of C4 olefin production. Steam cracker operating economics also limited the scope for producers to substantially expand supply, keeping availability relatively constrained.
During the second quarter of 2026, the n-butylene and isobutylene prices in France reached 1692 USD/MT in June. Prices advanced as European petrochemical cost pressures continued to influence C4 olefin quotations. Higher naphtha related costs increased the production cost base for steam cracker derived material, while energy expenses continued to affect overall operating economics. Supply availability remained sensitive to cracker operating rates and maintenance conditions, limiting the ability of suppliers to rapidly increase spot availability.
During the second quarter of 2026, the n-butylene and isobutylene prices in USA reached 1421 USD/MT in June. Prices increased as producer input costs strengthened and domestic demand remained supportive. However, tighter availability in certain supply channels and firm procurement requirements prevented prices from easing. Producers therefore maintained stronger quotations as higher operating expenses and consistent downstream demand supported the market.

Europe N-Butylene and Isobutylene Price Trend
Q2 2026:
The n-butylene and isobutylene price index in Europe moved upward as higher feedstock costs remained the dominant pricing influence. Naphtha linked production economics continued to affect C4 olefin costs, particularly because European producers remained exposed to international crude and feedstock supply conditions. Supply flexibility was also constrained by steam cracker operating economics and maintenance activity, limiting the ability of producers to compensate for cost increases through additional output. Downstream demand from butyl rubber, polyisobutylene, fuel additives, and specialty chemical manufacturing provided a stable consumption base. Automotive applications remained an important source of downstream support through tire and rubber requirements. European buyers also maintained cautious procurement patterns because international supply disruptions increased replacement cost uncertainty.
This analysis can be extended to include detailed n-butylene and isobutylene price information for a comprehensive list of countries.

North America N-Butylene and Isobutylene Price Trend
Q2 2026:
The n-butylene and isobutylene price index in North America increased as producer input costs and downstream purchasing activity provided upward support. Domestic refinery and petrochemical operating rates influenced C4 availability, while Gulf Coast supply conditions remained particularly important for market balance. Demand from butyl rubber, polyisobutylene, fuel additive, and specialty chemical applications remained steady, supporting regular procurement by downstream manufacturers. Automotive related consumption also contributed through demand for tire and rubber materials. The United States retained some feedstock advantages compared with regions more heavily dependent on naphtha, which helped moderate the effect of international feedstock pressures. Nevertheless, localized supply tightness and higher production expenses supported stronger supplier quotations.

N-Butylene and Isobutylene Industry Analysis
The global n-butylene and isobutylene market size reached 2,795.3 Thousand Tonnes in 2025. By 2034, the market is expected to reach 5,081.3 Thousand Tonnes, at a projected CAGR of 6.66% during 2026-2034. Market growth is being driven by the demand from butyl rubber and polyisobutylene applications, fuel additive production, and feedstock and energy costs.
Product Description
N-butylene and isobutylene are C4 olefin hydrocarbons with the molecular formula C4H8. n Butylene generally refers to the linear butene isomers, primarily 1 butene and 2 butene, whereas isobutylene, also known as isobutene or 2 methylpropene, has a branched molecular structure. These compounds are commonly recovered from mixed C4 hydrocarbon streams generated during steam cracking and fluid catalytic cracking operations. Isobutylene can also be produced through the dehydrogenation of isobutane. Both compounds are volatile, flammable, and chemically reactive, making them important petrochemical feedstocks. Isobutylene is widely used to produce polyisobutylene, butyl rubber, and fuel additives such as methyl tertiary butyl ether and ethyl tertiary butyl ether. N-butylene is used in the production of polymers, copolymers, and specialty chemical intermediates. Butyl rubber and halobutyl rubber are valued for their low gas permeability and are used in tire inner liners, inner tubes, seals, closures, and other applications requiring effective gas barrier properties.
