REPORT SCOPE
Butyl Rubber, known for high electrical resistivity and superior resistance to ozone, heat,
weather, and so on, is used for manufacturing of tires, adhesives, tapes, sealants and others. It is
a co-polymer of isobutylene and small fraction of isoprene. Thus, it is also called as Isobutylene
Isoprene Rubber (IIR) or Poly Isobutene (PIB).The global butyl rubber market is segmented into
by type, by application. The butyl rubber is of three types namely, regular butyl rubber, bromo
butyl rubber, chloro butyl rubber. These are widely used in applications such as tyres and tubes
production, automotive goods production, adhesives production, pharmaceutical applications,
industrial applications, construction applications, healthcare applications and others.
The market is projected to witness impressive growth owing to the replacement demand for
tyres which is the largest application of butyl rubber. In addition to that, the escalating demand
for superior materials in pharmaceutical packaging is set to propel the market in the future. The
report provides a detailed account of each type and application by analysing trends in four
geographic regions North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and ROW.
Competitive landscape for each of the product types is described and market players are profiled
with attributes of company overview, financial overview, business strategies, product portfolio
and recent developments. Few companies that are profiled in the report are ExxonMobil,
Lanxess AG, BASF SE, and The Lubrizol Corporation. Furthermore, Market share analysis,
market forces and strategic analysis of the industry are included in the report.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Butyl Rubber is a commercial rubber used in production of wide range of products such as tires,
adhesives, sealants, tubes, and so on. This product is a co-polymer of Isobutylene and Iso prene
with high electrical resistivity and greater resistance which is predominantly in used in
manufacturing of tires and tubes.

The growing transportation industry has facilitated the hike in the market growth over the years.
The increasing demand for superior materials for adhesives, sealants, stoppers and similar others
will drive the market in pharmaceutical and adhesives applications in future. Furthermore, the
evolving environmental regulations are expected to spur innovations aiming to bring out ecofriendly products.
The market is dominated by few players which constitute more than 50% of the share in 2014.
ExxonMobil and Lanxess AG are the top two players in the market, which are continuously
making efforts to widen their share in the market. ExxonMobil has announced its plans in 2014
to construct a large production plant, whereas Lanxess AG has invested in China on
construction of a production plant in 2013. Thus, this market holds strong barriers of entry with
huge capital investment required for an entrant to penetrate.

Tires and Tubes were the largest application of butyl rubber in 2014. This segment constitutes
80% and is estimated to exhibit striking growth owing to the progression in automotive industry.
The Adhesives and Pharmaceutical applications are forecast to showcase the highest growth in
the wake of increasing demand of high elastic and high resistive products in those applications.
The butyl rubbers at very high temperatures are not stable and pose risk. Innovations focused on
this drawback will further propel the market.

GLOBAL BUTYL RUBBER MARKET FORCES

Growth Of Vehicle Production To Further Boost Butyl Rubber Market
The rising vehicle production across the globe has been the largest driver for growth of butyl
rubber and it will continue to drive the market in the future. Butyl rubber is chiefly used in
production of tires and tubes owing to the high permeability to gas and moisture. These are best
suitable on poor roads and less speed tire applications like construction, recreational, military and
similar vehicles.

The above figure is the depiction of the sales of all type of vehicles globally. The sales of
passenger cars and commercial vehicles have witnessed growth owing to the increasing
population and their affordability. This will directly enhance the market for butyl rubber which is
used in several automotive applications such as inner tubes for tires, tire curing bladders,
adhesives, automotive vibration damping, and protective clothing. Thus, the increase in sales of
vehicles will continue to drive the market growth.
