Growing Demand from Roofing, Road Construction, Pavement & Footwear Sectors Drives the Global Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene (SBS) Block Copolymer Market
Increased demand from the construction industry for roofing, roads, and pavement applications; strong growth in demand from adhesives and sealants and footwear markets in the Latin American and Asia-Pacific regions; and rising popularity of diapers are poised to drive the global market for Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene (SBS) Block Copolymer to reach 2.4 million tons worth US$8.1 billion by 2024 . Styrene-Butadiene Styrene (SBS) block copolymer would emerge as the leading product in the Styrene-Butadiene Copolymer (SBC) market in the coming years. It is used in high-performance demanding applications, such as polymer modification, bitumen and asphalt modification, adhesives-and-sealants, and vulcanized compounding among others. In formulation of adhesives, SBS provides major advantages. They work very efficiently in processing temperatures and perform as reinforced-elastic rubbers in conditions of standard application. Owing to these advantages, SBS finds use in modification of differ...
