Key Trends

Tire Replacement and Emerging Market Dynamics

Rising vehicle fleets and improving road networks in emerging economies like India and Latin America are fuelling demand for replacement tires. In India alone, replacement tires already constitute around 60 % of total tire consumption. This trend is driving demand for SBR compounds used in tread formulations, especially in radial tires which use more SBR per tire.

Shift to Solution SBR for Performance Needs

While emulsion SBR (E‐SBR) remains dominant-holding about 71.13 % of the market in 2024-solution SBR (S‐SBR) is growing faster, at a projected 4.34 % CAGR through 2030. The shift reflects rising requirements for better wet grip, rolling resistance, and compatibility with electric vehicle tire designs. Regulatory labels in regions like ASEAN are also accelerating uptake of high‐vinyl S‐SBR grades.

Adhesives Driving Higher-Margin Growth

Although tires remain the largest application at 69.38 % revenue share in 2024, adhesives are among the fastest-growing sub‐segments with a projected 4.52 % CAGR through 2030. Rising use of SBR in construction bonding agents, packaging adhesives, and DIY consumer products is broadening the market base and supporting multi-sector resilience.

Asia‐Pacific Maintains Leadership

Asia‐Pacific led global revenue share at 45.64 % in 2024, and is forecast to remain the largest and fastest-growing region (4.28 % CAGR) through 2030. This dominance reflects robust automotive output, strong domestic tire manufacturing clusters, and ongoing infrastructure expansion across countries like China, India, and Southeast Asia.

Meanwhile, Western producers are repositioning their portfolios toward sustainable, differentiated SBR grades to maintain margins amid feedstock volatility and tighter environmental regulations.

Market Segmentation

The SBR market is segmented by Type, Application, and Geography:

By Type

Emulsion SBR (E-SBR) - Held ~71.13 % share in 2024; widely used in general-purpose tires and lower-cost formulations.

Solution SBR (S-SBR) - Smaller share but expanding faster, with projected CAGR of 4.34 % to 2030 .

By Application

Tires - Core driver, with nearly 70 % of revenues in 2024. Demand is anchored by both original equipment (OE) and replacement segments.

Adhesives - Growing fast (4.52 % CAGR), supported by construction, packaging, and consumer markets.

Other segments - Footwear and industrial uses offer steady volume, though contributing smaller shares relative to tires and adhesives.

By Geography

Asia‐Pacific - Largest and fastest-growing region, with nearly 45.6 % of total market in 2024 and projected strong performance through 2030.

Rest of World - Includes North America, Europe, South America, and the Middle East & Africa, with North America showing emerging strength in performance and sustainable SBR grades.

Conclusion

The Styrene Butadiene Rubber market is poised for steady growth through 2030, with expected expansion from USD 14.39 billion in 2025 to USD 17.40 billion, reflecting a CAGR of 3.86 %. Tire demand-especially replacement and EV-compatible segments-drives most of the volume and remains closely tied to Asia‐Pacific dynamics. Alongside this, adhesives and other industrial applications are offering new revenue streams and supporting higher-margin growth.

A key transition is underway: solution SBR is gaining ground on performance and regulatory fronts, even as emulsion SBR continues to serve cost-sensitive applications. Asia‐Pacific markets will remain central throughout, but global producers are adjusting strategies to address regional needs, sustainability requirements, and volatile feedstock pricing. SBR's resilience across segments-from tires to adhesives-positions it as a reliable workhorse within the broader synthetic rubber industry.
