The growth in demand from APAC and Europe is notably driving the styrene butadiene latex market growth, although factors such as the rising preference for bio-based latexes may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the styrene butadiene (SB) latex industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Styrene Butadiene (SB) Latex Market Driver
One of the key factors driving the global styrene butadiene (SB) latex industry growth is the growth in demand from APAC and Europe, owing to the high demand for paper and paperboard, adhesives, carpets, and fibers in the construction and packaging industries. Moreover, the ban on plastic bags in European and APAC countries is boosting the consumption of cardboard and paper for packaging. EU aims to reduce the consumption of single-use and short-lived plastic by 20% by 2025, thereby encouraging the use of paper and paperboard for packaging. In the EU, Belgium is the leader in the carpet industry, followed by the Netherlands. SB latex back coatings enhance the performance of carpets, improve stability, and resist tuft loss at the cut edges of the carpets. Moreover, the increasing demand for pressure-sensitive adhesives, mortar additives, and paints and coatings from the construction industry will further boost the consumption of SB latex in the forecast period.
Key Styrene Butadiene (SB) Latex Market Trend
Rising preference for bio-based latexes is one of the key styrene butadiene SB latex market trends that is expected to impact the industry positively in the forecast period. Emulsion polymers are preferred owing to low VOC emissions and the absence of flammable constituents. Emulsion polymerization has become scientifically, technologically, and commercially important for the production of emulsion polymers with no or negligible VOCs. The global emulsion polymers market is expanding at a CAGR of approximately 6.41% and is expected to witness an incremental growth of USD 11.29 billion by 2025. SB latex is among the widely consumed emulsion polymers, which is used in paper and paperboard manufacturing, paints and coatings, and adhesives. SB latex is the most common type of SB emulsion polymer. The rising use of SB latex emulsion polymer in the production of high-quality coated paper, paperboards, and fabrics will be driving the market in the coming years.
Key Styrene Butadiene (SB) Latex Market Challenge
One of the key challenges to the global styrene butadiene latex industry growth is the rising preference for bio-based latexes. As the key raw materials used in the production of SB latex (styrene and butadiene) are petroleum products, fluctuations in crude oil prices affect their prices. For instance, in 2020, the average price of ethylene worldwide accounted for around USD 697 per metric ton. As of July 2021, the average price for that year rose to USD 1,014 per metric ton, an increase of more than 45% when compared to the previous year. An increase in crude oil prices reduces drilling activities, which results in a demand-supply imbalance for key petroleum-based raw materials. Owing to the resultant rise in raw material prices, manufacturers undertake cost-cutting measures, such as workforce layoffs, production shutdown, or production capacity reduction. Such factors will limit the market growth in the forecast period.

COVID Impact and Recovery Analysis
In 2020 and early 2021, the SB latex market in the region witnessed certain challenges due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. India, China, Bangladesh, and Pakistan are some of the most badly affected countries by the pandemic in the region. Containment measures such as the temporary closure of non-essential businesses, travel restrictions, quarantines, and other disruptive actions, negatively impacted the operations of SB latex manufacturing units across the region in 2020 and in early 2021. However, the ongoing COVID-19 vaccination drives are expected to reduce the number of COVID-19 cases during the forecast period. This will support the complete resumption of operations in SB latex manufacturing facilities by market vendors and also in end-user industries such as construction, pulp and paper, paints and coatings, and footwear manufacturing. This is expected to increase the demand for SB latex across end-user industries in APAC during the forecast period.
