By 2034, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 18.37 Billion, at a projected CAGR of 4.96% during 2026-2034. The market is primarily driven by the expanding tire production, increasing use in industrial rubber goods, the shift toward durable synthetic materials, and sustained infrastructure and automotive sector activities.
Latest developments in the styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) industry:
- July 2025: A new study assessed how storage and operational aging affect the thermal stability and electrical behavior of styrene–butadiene rubber (SBR). Researchers compared an unaged reference, a laboratory-stored sample, and an operationally aged material using thermogravimetric analysis and multiple kinetic models. SEM imaging confirmed microstructural changes, highlighting how real-world aging alters SBR’s thermal and electrical performance.
Product Description
SBR is a synthetic rubber, which is known for its excellent abrasion resistance, durability, and water resistance. It is manufactured through the polymerization of styrene and butadiene, the two organic compounds derived from petroleum. It is cost-effective as compared to natural rubber, making it an inexpensive choice for manufacturing various products. SBR can be recycled and reused in multiple applications, which contributes to substantial efforts and reduces environmental impacts.
In addition, SBR-modified asphalt is used in the construction and maintenance of the road due to its ability to improve the durability and resistance of asphalt pavements to cracking and rutting. It is also incorporated into roofing materials, such as membranes and coatings, on account of its waterproofing properties and ability to withstand exposure to sunlight and weathering. Additionally, it is utilized to produce sporting goods like mats, balls, and grips owing to its resilience and shock absorption.
