[212+ Pages Report] According to the report published by Facts Factors, the global butadiene market size was worth USD 9,928.40 million in 2021 and is estimated to grow to USD 15949.35 million by 2028, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 7.70 percent over the forecast period. The report analyzes the butadiene market's drivers, restraints/challenges, and their effect on the demands during the projection period. In addition, the report explores emerging opportunities in the butadiene market.
Market Overview
Butadiene, also known as 1,3-butadiene, is a highly reactive gas having a moderate aromatic or gasoline-like odor at ambient temperature and pressure. It is a byproduct of ethylene & propylene synthesis and is largely utilized as a monomer in creating synthetic rubbers and plastics. If used sparingly, it can be employed as a chemical intermediary. The resulting rubbers or plastics are used in automobiles, building materials, appliance parts, computers & telecommunications equipment, protective apparel, packaging, and household items. Butadiene-based polymers have enhanced functionality, performance, and safety while being less expensive. The global market is driven by several factors, including the expansion of manufacturing industries such as automobiles & consumer durables, rising population awareness of the importance of green building construction, the development of eco-friendly methods of polymer emulsion production, and the rising demand for water-based solvents and coatings.
Covid-19 Impact:
COVID-19 has a negative impact on the butadiene market because end-user sectors' demand was insufficient. The current pandemic scenario has temporarily halted the development of new buildings and car manufacturing facilities. As a result, the global butadiene market was impacted by the demand for styrene-butadiene and polybutadiene rubber, used in tires, concrete additives, building crack fillers, and other applications. The spread of COVID-19 in 2020 reduced economic and social activities and altered the industrial and transportation environments. The epidemic has impacted the world economy, collapsing tire production, trade, and sales of vehicles and other equipment. Butadiene demand has increased due to the use of protective gloves manufactured of nitrile rubber under the current conditions.

Growth Drivers
- Growing demand for styrene-butadiene rubber drives the market growth
The growing demand for styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), used to make tires and other synthetic rubber goods, is a key element driving the butadiene industry. The softness and erratic pricing of natural rubber, the enhanced qualities of synthetic rubber, and the geographical limitations of rubber plantations all contribute to the expansion of the global market. Additionally, the growing demand for green tires made from butadiene monomers derived from bio-based materials combined with the growing use of butadiene in commercial and household applications is opening up more attractive business prospects for the players in the global butadiene market.
Restraints
- Carcinogenic characteristics of butadiene may hamper the market growth
The global butadiene market may be constrained by considerations like butadiene's carcinogenic characteristics and many acute & chronic effects brought on by its emissions. The butadiene industry expansion is also anticipated to be hindered by the escalating environmental worries. Variable raw material prices and a strict regulatory environment further impede the market's growth. The recent decline in the automobile sector is anticipated to provide a significant obstacle to expanding the butadiene market.
Segmentation Analysis
The global butadiene market is segregated based on the production process, product, end-user, and region.
Based on the production process, the market is segmented into C4 hydrocarbon extraction, n-butane dehydrogenation, from ethanol, and from butenes. The n-butane segment dominated the market in 2021 due to its high volatility and low water solubility.
Based on product, the market is classified into styrene-butadiene rubber, styrene-butadiene latex, butadiene rubber, acrylonitrile butadiene rubber, nitrile butadiene rubber, and hexamethylenediamine. In 2021, styrene-butadiene rubber dominated the market. These rubber polymers' physical and chemical properties give tires performance-improving components, such as rolling resistance, wearable, and traction. In industrial settings, SBR rubber often replaces natural rubber without intermediate steps. Only a few of its advantages include superior abrasion resistance, crack endurance, and aging characteristics.
Based on end-user, the market is segmented into building & construction, healthcare, automobile, and consumer products. The automobile segment dominated the butadiene market in 2021 due to an increase in automobiles. The automotive industry's strong influence impacts the butadiene market on the need for synthetic rubbers.
Recent Development:
- April 2021: A joint venture between Sinopec and SK Global Chemical, a division of SK Innovation, is intended to start operating commercially in the second half of 2021 after developing new petrochemical facilities.
- January 2020: After carrying out extensive repairs on the facility, CPC Corporation allegedly resumed operations at one of its naphtha crackers in Taiwan, which has the potential to produce 193,000 tons/year of propylene and 380 tons/year of ethylene, a major feedstock for butadiene.
