Global Styrene butadiene styrene industry Is Estimated to Be Valued at USD 6,000 Million by 2025 and Record a CAGR of over 6% during the Forecast Period.

The global styrene butadiene styrene industry is expected to witness a surging growth in the coming assessment period owing to its widespread usage in diverse end-use industries such as footwear, construction, automotive, adhesive & sealants, and medical. The growth in the global market is mainly attributed to the growing usage of SBS in the footwear industry to manufacture soles and the escalating growth of the footwear industry. The increasing demand for SBS-based modified bitumen in the construction industry owing to superior cohesive and waterproofing characteristics of SBS further boosts the global demand. However, fluctuations in raw material prices of one of its raw material based on petroleum products is likely to hamper the growth of the market. Moreover, the new areas of application for SBS in adhesives & sealants, medical devices, and tire treads are likely to create lucrative opportunities for the global market in the coming future.
