Market Introduction
Polyisobutylene (PIB) is an elastomer or a synthetic rubber. It is a very versatile, non-toxic, water-white viscous liquid and has the ability to increase tackiness, to provide water-repellency, to improve viscosity-index and it provides excellent electrical insulation. It is the only rubber, which is gas impermeable, and hence it can hold or store air over long period. The remarkable impermeable property of Polyisobutylene (PIB) has led to its uses in applications such as inner tubes, inner liners of basketball, and liner layers of tires. Polyisobutylene (PIB) in the form of polyisobutylene succinimide finds uses in additives in lubricating oils as well as motor fuels. When added in small amount to the lubricating oils it reduces the generation of oil mist. As a fuel additive it is blended with other fuel and oil additives to form a detergent pack which is added to gasoline and diesel fuels to resist the buildup of deposits and engine knock. The automotive industry has been the key market for several types of fuel additives for many years. The share for automobiles has continuously been higher than that of the other fuel additives market segment due to the lack of efficient fossil fuel alternatives and an increasing middle-class economy. The relative importance of aviation for fuel additives has boosted in recent years, ultimately mounting the demand for polyisobutylene. Thus, the growth in the automotive sector is expected to create a significant demand for polyisobutylene in the coming years, which is further anticipated to drive the Polyisobutylene market.
Market Overview and Dynamics
The polyisobutylene market in SAM is expected to grow from US$ 154.9 million in 2019 to US$ 207.7 million by 2027; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 3.7% from 2020 to 2027. The growing demand for PIB from developed and developing economies. Demand for polyisobutylene in South American market is expected to grow on account of presence of established leading automotive manufacturers such as Tesla Inc. and Ford Motors which are focused on research and development activities. Moreover, numerous cosmetics and personal care companies like Procter and Gamble, Maybelline, Colgate-Palmolive, Unilever, Avon, Johnson & Johnson present in the region are also expected to create lucrative opportunities for the manufacturers operating in the polyisobutylene market. Furthermore, the packaging industry in the United States is anticipated to showcase a noteworthy growth with respect to increasing consumption of beverages and packaged medicaments in domestic as well as exports to international markets. Increasing investments by petrochemical giants in research and development activities for innovative eco-friendly products is likely to accelerate the market growth in the region. Additionally, increasing demand for packaging in the pharmaceutical industry to preserve the effectiveness of drugs is projected to augment market growth over the forecast period.
The COVID 19 pandemic has impacted the major countries in SAM, and many of these countries are under lockdown, which is adversely affecting the polyisobutylene (PIB) market.
