South America, Africa, Middle East Styrene Butadiene Rubber (SBR) Market
Styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) is a synthetic rubber produced from a copolymer between styrene and butadiene. SBR is used extensively in the production of automobile tires. Some of the major advantages of SBR over normal rubber include abrasion resistance, crack resistance, and better aging. The growing demand from the automobile industry is one of the most important driving forces for the SBR market in the Middle East & Africa (MEA) and South American regions.
The South American & MEA SBR market held a fair share of 7.8% in 2013 in the global market, and this market share is expected to grow to 8.78% by 2018. This market is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 5.8% from 2013 to 2018. The South American and the MEA regions are fast-emerging markets for styrene butadiene rubber, globally. This is mainly due to the growing demand from the automobile sector in these regions. Brazil, Saudi Arabia, and Argentina are the major contributors to this market. The Brazilian segment has been forecast to grow at a CAGR of 5.59% from 2013 to 2018, and the Saudi Arabia market is projected to grow at a faster CAGR of 6.29% during the same forecast period. In 2013, Brazil held the largest share in the South America & MEA market for styrene butadiene rubber, with a share of 62.48%.
The most important driver for this market is the rising demand from end-use applications. The major end-use applications are building & construction, automotive, packaging, consumer goods, and electrical & electronics, among others. This demand is expected to drive the growth of the SBR market in the MEA and South American regions in the coming years. Furthermore, the stringent labeling regulations formulated by governments for the tire manufacturing industry are also driving the market for SBR in these regions. In order to tap the growing SBR market, various companies are establishing operations in these regions, in lieu of expanding their customer base and growth potential. Some of the major companies include Bayer MaterialScience (Germany), Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. (U.S.), and Ineos Group Ltd. (Switzerland), among others.
The South America & MEA SBR market has been segmented in terms of ingredient, application, and the major countries in the region. On the basis of ingredients, the market has been segmented into butadiene and styrene. The major applications of this market include adhesives, construction chemicals, footwear, and tires, among others. Brazil, Saudi Arabia, Argentina, and South Africa are among the major countries that have been considered for this analysis.
