Highly Reactive PIB Segment has the Largest Share of Product in the South & Central America Polyisobutylene Market during 2021–2028

According to our latest study on “South & Central America Polyisobutylene Market Forecast to 2028 – COVID-19 Impact and Analysis – by Molecular Weight, Product, Application, and End User,” the market is projected to reach US$ 204.9 million by 2028 from US$ 161.5 million in 2021; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.5% from 2021 to 2028. The report highlights trends prevailing in the market, and the drivers and restraints pertaining to the market growth. The growth of this market is estimated to grow owing to key driving factors such as automotive industry to boost the market growth and growing demand for polyisobutylene from construction industry. However, environmental impact and presence of alternatives/substitutes to critically impacts the growth of the market.

Brazil has the highest number of COVID-19 cases, followed by Ecuador, Chile, Peru, and Argentina, among others. The government of South America has taken an array of actions to protect their citizens and contain COVID-19’s spread. It is anticipated that South America will face lower export revenues, both from the drop in commodity prices and reduction in export volumes, especially to China, Europe, and the United States, which are important trade partners. Containment measures in several countries of South America will reduce economic activity in the manufacturing and service sectors for at least the next quarter, with a rebound once the epidemic is contained.

Based on product, the highly reactive PIB segment is expected to register the largest market share during the forecast period. Moreover, the same segment is estimated to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. In 2021, the highly reactive polyisobutylene (HR-PIB) is a polyisobutylene that has greater than 80 percent of its double bonds located in the terminal position in the molecule, allowing it to react more quickly when producing derivatives, especially detergents and dispersants. The growing demand for HR PIB to improve fuel performance and final lubricant products have led augmented the growth of the HR PIB segment. The further use of HR-PIB as a reactionary intermediate is likely to boost the demand for HR PIB in the forecast period.
