According to the latest report by IMARC Group, titled “Polyisobutylene Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2018-2023”, the global polyisobutylene market reached a value of US$ 51 Billion in 2017. Polyisobutylene refers to a synthetic rubber or elastomer made from monomer isobutylene through the cationic vinyl polymerization process. It is a colorless, tasteless and odorless elastomer which exhibits resistance against weathering and ozone. This polymer can be found in either a semi-solid or an elastic rubbery viscous form and possesses high heat and damping properties, biocompatibility as well as flexibility. Apart from this, it is gas impermeable in nature and can hold air for a longer period of time. Owing to this, it is largely used in basketballs, footballs, soccer balls and other inflatable balls for providing an airtight inner compartment.

Global Polyisobutylene Market Trends:
Over the past few years, the transportation industry has witnessed a significant growth, resulting in a rise in the demand for tubes and tires across the globe. Additionally, polyisobutylene forms an important ingredient in the formulation of lubricants as it prevents the oil from thickening as well as controls the formation of sludge and deposits. Another major factor propelling the demand for polyisobutylene is the rising R&D investments by the manufacturers and advancements in technologies. However, the governments of several nations have implemented stringent regulations regarding the disposal of polyisobutylene on account of its negative environmental impact. This can act as a hinderance to the growth of the market in the upcoming years. Looking forward, the global polyisobutylene market is projected to reach US$ 3 Billion by 2023, exhibiting a CAGR of approximately 5% during 2018-2023.
