Neodymium Polybutadiene Rubber (Nd-BR) Market to Reach US$ 1.94 Billion by 2031, Supported by Green Tire Demand and High-Performance Rubber Innovation | QY Research

Market Summary -

The global Neodymium Polybutadiene Rubber (Nd-BR) Market is set for steady expansion as tire manufacturers and industrial users increasingly adopt advanced elastomers that deliver low rolling resistance, high wear resistance, and superior dynamic performance. According to the latest report titled "Neodymium Polybutadiene Rubber (Nd-BR) Market Share and Ranking, Overall Sales and Demand Forecast 2025-2031," the market was valued at US$ 1,485 million in 2024 and is projected to reach US$ 1,944 million by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 3.7% during the forecast period.

Nd-BR is a high cis-1,4 polybutadiene rubber produced via solution polymerization using neodymium-based catalysts. Compared with alternative catalyst systems such as nickel-, cobalt-, or titanium-based polybutadiene rubbers, Nd-BR offers cis-1,4 content above 97%, enabling excellent abrasion resistance, low heat build-up, and outstanding elasticity. These properties make Nd-BR a preferred material for high-performance and eco-friendly tires, as well as for footwear, vibration-damping components, conveyor belts, and specialty rubber products.

Market Drivers and Industry Trends -

Growth in the Nd-BR market is closely linked to the global shift toward green and high-performance tires, driven by stricter fuel-efficiency standards and the rapid expansion of electric vehicles (EVs). Low rolling resistance-one of Nd-BR's key advantages-helps improve vehicle energy efficiency and driving range, making it increasingly important in next-generation tire formulations.

The report also highlights the impact of recent tariff adjustments and international strategic countermeasures, which are influencing cross-border supply chains, regional production strategies, and capital investment decisions. As a result, manufacturers are accelerating localized capacity expansion, particularly in Asia and China, to improve supply security and cost competitiveness.

Regional and Competitive Landscape -

Asia-Pacific is the largest regional market for Nd-BR, accounting for more than 40% of global demand, supported by strong tire manufacturing bases in China, Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia. Europe and North America follow, driven by demand for premium tires and advanced rubber materials.

The global Nd-BR market is relatively concentrated. Leading producers such as ARLANXEO, Kumho Petrochemical, Sibur, Goodyear, and Synthos collectively account for over 60% of global market share. Competition centers on catalyst technology, product consistency, sustainability performance, and the ability to meet evolving tire manufacturer specifications.

Product Characteristics and Technology Direction -

Nd-BR is valued for its very low rolling resistance, excellent wear resistance, good low-temperature flexibility, and outstanding dynamic properties, including low heat generation and high fatigue resistance. These characteristics are increasingly critical as tire makers pursue balanced performance in efficiency, durability, comfort, and noise reduction.

From a development perspective, the industry is moving toward low-VOC and environmentally friendly production processes, in response to tightening environmental regulations. R&D efforts are also focused on functionalized Nd-BR, such as grafted or copolymer-modified grades, to improve compatibility with solution-SBR (S-SBR) and other elastomers used in advanced tire compounds.

Market Challenges -

Despite favorable long-term fundamentals, the Nd-BR market faces several challenges. Butadiene feedstock price volatility creates cost-control pressures for producers. The complexity of process control, including strict requirements for temperature, catalyst activity, and molecular weight distribution, raises technical barriers. In addition, intense competition in the high-performance tire segment-where Nd-BR must work synergistically with S-SBR, Ni-BR, and natural rubber-demands continuous innovation. Stricter environmental standards and rising EV-specific performance requirements further increase development complexity.
