Overview
Isoprene Market is forecast to reach $4.47 billion by
2025, after growing at a CAGR of 7.5% during 2020-2025. The demand for
isoprene increases in tires, conveyor belts, hoses, molded rubber as well
as for medical devices such as gloves and balloons are increasingly available.
Isoprene demand is expected to be driven by rising vehicle sales in China and
India in the automotive industry for Polyisoprene manufacture. The rising
demand for fuel efficiency and environmentally friendly tires drives the tire
industry's growth and the isoprene market growth in turn.
Report Coverage
The “Isoprene Market Report – Forecast (2020-2025)”, by IndustryARC, covers an in-depth analysis of the following segments of the Isoprene Market.
Key Takeaways
- In addition, a decline in natural rubber demand would likely act as an opportunity for the market.
- Acrylonitrile is a colorless liquid and crotonaldehyde, these two chemicals are widely used in the production of rubber and elastomers, which are used in the manufacture of tires.
Type - Segment Analysis
The polymerization Grade segment held the largest share in the Isoprene Market in 2018. Polymerization grade is widely used due to its characteristics similar to natural rubber which are used in different applications. In strength, cure rate, processing, mixing and molding it also has more consistency than natural rubber.
End-use Industry - Segment Analysis
Tires segment held the largest
share in the Isoprene Market in 2018. Because of their properties including
resilience, tensile resistance, tear strength, etc. isoprene commonly used in
the manufacture of tires. Tires are growing in demand globally. Tires demand in
2014 was approximately 2.84 billion. Demand in 2018 was approximately 3.66
billion units, up from 6.55% in 2014. Tire and rubber industry sales worldwide
amount to approximately USD 18 billion, mainly from industries such as the
aerospace industry, automotive, etc. Globally, the firms of tire and rubber
manufacturing are increasing. Tire producers in the United States and Europe
increased by around 111 firms and 4,300 firms. Companies, such as Bridgestone
(Japan), Michelin (France), Goodyear (US), Continental (Germany), and Sumitomo
Rubber Industries (Japan) are the major producers of tires in the world. This
scenario is expected to boost the demand for the market studied.
Application - Segment Analysis
Polyisoprene sector
has been the primary market for Isoprene by growing at a CAGR of 3.2%. Polyisoprene
is used mainly in the production of tires and in other rubber products. It has
a lower non-polymer component level than natural rubber. In rubber bands,
footwear, cut thread, baby bottle nipples, hoses, and conveyor belts,
Polyisoprene is used in addition to tires. Polyisoprene is commonly used in the
production of medical devices like the manufacturing of surgical gloves, sample
covers, and catheters.
Geography - Segment Analysis
APAC dominated the Isoprene Market share with more than 38%, followed by North America and Europe. Global market share dominated the Asia-Pacific region, as Asia-Pacific is the largest tire producer. Countries such as India, China, Japan, etc. are the largest car and commercial vehicle manufacturers in the Asia-Pacific region. For Instance, the production of tires and tubes for the automotive industry in Japan increased by approximately 1.36% in 2018. According to the Japan Statistics Bureau, the country's tire and tube production was approximately USD 11.2 billion in 2018 and is expected to reach USD 11.22 billion in 2019. In addition, the growing production of electric cars is driving demand for tires in countries like China, Japan, and others. During the forecast period, electric vehicles in these countries are expected to reach approximately 6843 units and 1023 units respectively. It is predicted that all the above-mentioned factors will increase isoprene demand over the forecast period.
Drivers – Isoprene Market
- Isoprene grade polymer demand continues to be on the upper side
The two main products on the
global isoprene markets are polymer grade isoprene and chemical grade isoprene.
The former showed a higher demand among the two. Researchers expect this trend
to continue and in the near future to remain dominant in the polymer grade
isoprene market. The primary end-users of isoprene are tires, industrial
rubber, and adhesives, Isoprene is widely used. Polyisoprene's properties, such
as durability, wear resistance, resilience, and strength, make it an
appropriate natural rubber alternative for tire manufacturing. This segment is
likely to remain the key end-user of isoprene in the years to come with the
ongoing expansion in the automotive industry.
Challenges – Isoprene Market
- Regulations in the rubber manufacturing industry
Manufacturing facilities for the
production of tires and rubber emit dangerous air pollutants (HAP). It is
expected that the strict regulations by regulatory bodies to minimize HAPs
would limit the production of synthetic rubber and thus restrict the isoprene
industry in the coming years.
Market Landscape
Technology launches, acquisitions, and R&D
activities are key strategies adopted by players in the Isoprene Market. In
2018, the market of Isoprene has been consolidated by the top five players
accounting for xx% of the share. Major players in the Isoprene Market are Nizhnekamskneftekhim,
SIBUR, The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, Royal Dutch Shell Plc, Kuraray
Co. Ltd., ZEON Corporation, Lyondellbasell Industries N.V., JSR Corporation,
Ningbo Jinhai Chenguang, Shandong Yuhuang Chemical Group Co. Ltd., Finetech
Industry Ltd., Haihang Industry Co. Ltd., Fortrec Chemicals and Petroleum Pte
Ltd., and Braskem, among others.
Acquisitions/Technology Launches
- In July 2018, Zeon Corporation has created an advanced technology for durable and capable manufacturing of isoprene which is mainly used as a crude component of the Polyisoprene rubber, from biofuel. Advancement of this technology will resolve the expected dependency on petroleum, anticipating in the preservation of the environment
- In January 2019, Gevo announced that it developed a stimulant, development and fix a catalytic process which converts economically accessible or product waste, reused alcohol into sustainable isoprene. It is likely to compete with natural and petroleum-based chemical equivalents on cost head-to-head while decreasing CO2 emissions.
