Global Isoprene Market Outlook to 2026 - Key Drivers, Restraints and Opportunities - ResearchAndMarkets.com

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Global Isoprene Market Outlook to 2026" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

2-methyl-1,3-butadiene, commonly known as Isoprene, is a colorless volatile liquid, naturally produced and is emitted by several animals and trees. Isoprene is obtained industrially as a byproduct in the production of ethene. It is used to manufacture synthetic rubber polyisoprene, which is used in several end-user industries such as automotive, construction, and medical among others.

According to the publisher, the global Isoprene market is expected to witness a considerable growth rate during the forecast period. The primary factor responsible for the Global Isoprene market's growth is increasing synthetic rubber usage in tires, non-tires, and adhesives. Increasing focus on low-rolling-resistance tires to improve automobiles' fuel efficiency is further expected to propel the isoprene market during the forecast period. However, the fluctuating price of crude oil and the rubber manufacturing industry regulations act as the Isoprene market's restraints.

Asia-Pacific region is projected to dominate the Global Isoprene market. The consumers' high disposable income has resulted in an increased renovation and new building construction activities across the Asia Pacific region, driving the demand for Isoprene. The growth of the automotive industry is also a significant factor propelling isoprene demand in this region.

In terms of segmentation by grade, the Global Isoprene market is dominated by the Polymer-grade Isoprene. This is due to its properties similar to natural rubber. It also has more consistency than natural rubber in terms of cure rate, mixing, strength, processing, and molding.

In terms of segmentation by the End-user Industry, the Automotive Industry is projected to dominate the Global Isoprene market. The increasing demand for Isoprene for tire production in the automotive industry is estimated to propel the region's isoprene market over the forecast period.

The Global Isoprene market is highly fragmented. Major companies in the market were found to be Royal Dutch Shell PLC, Kraton Corporation, JSR Corporation, Exxon Mobil Corporation, Dow Chemical Company, and Zeon Corporation, among others.
