Isoprene Market: Segmentation by Region
Europe was the largest isoprene market in 2019, and the region will offer several growth opportunities to market vendors during the forecast period. The increased demand for isoprene from end-user industries, such as tires, non-tires, and adhesives will significantly influence isoprene market growth in this region over the forecast period.
38% of the market’s growth will originate from Europe during the forecast period. The Russian Federation is the key market for isoprene in Europe. Market growth in this region will be slower than the growth of the market in South America, MEA, and APAC.
Isoprene Market: Segmentation by Application
Tires and tire products dominated the consumption of polyisoprene elastomers in 2019, followed by mechanical rubber goods. End-use industries, such as medical applications and footwear, are some other prominent ones. Medical applications are expected to have the fastest consumption growth during the forecast period. The manufacturers of latex-free surgical gloves highly prefer polyisoprene.
The growth of the Isoprene market share by the polyisoprene segment will be faster than the growth of the market by the other segments. This report provides an accurate prediction of the contribution of all the segments to the growth of the isoprene market size.
Isoprene Market: Key Drivers and Trends
The tire industry is one of the key end-user industries for isoprene rubber (IR). An upsurge in natural rubber prices has impelled the tire manufacturers to substitute it with synthetic rubber. IR is one of the least expensive substitutes for natural rubber. Synthetic rubber is used to enhance the tensile strengths, thereby increasing the tire quality. Synthetic rubber also offers advantages in durability and rolling resistance. In developed countries, IR loadings are particularly high in tires driven by quality control and necessary performance requirements for high-performance tires.
- Strategic partnerships between IR manufacturers and industrial biotech firms are one of the critical isoprene market trends.
- High process and definite supply of monomers and natural rubbers have stimulated the use of renewable feedstock to produce synthetic rubber.
- Several players are focusing on producing IR from bio-based raw materials.
- The players are entering into partnerships with industrial biotech firms to advance the commercial production of bio-based rubber raw materials.
- The isoprene market will grow at a CAGR of almost 8% during the forecast period.
