Global SBC and its Derivatives Market Analysis 2023 | Market Research Reports

 

SBC and its derivatives market refer to thermoplastic elastomers. Its properties are similar to the rubbers, attributed mainly to its physical and chemical characteristics, such as low drug absorption, biodegradability, high resilience, optical clarity, toughness, and process stability. SBC and its derivatives can also be processed as thermoplastic materials.


SBC and its derivatives are used in a wide range of applications including industrial as well as commercial sectors. They are used for asphalt modification and bitumen in flooring and tiling purpose in the construction industry. SBC and its derivatives are also used widely to reduce solution viscosity in the coating, adhesive, and sealants during the elastomeric phase in the production processes. SBC and its derivatives are also used in the manufacturing advanced materials and of footwear.

Some of the major factors driving the global SBC and its derivatives market is development of bio-based alternatives for synthetic SBCs and its growing adoption due to stringent government regulations. The synthetic SBS and its derivatives are replaced by soybean-based SBS polymers in numerous applications including, personal care, bitumen modification and coating applications.

Asia Pacific was the largest market of the SBC and its derivatives in 2014, attributed mainly to the rising infrastructure and construction as a part of urbanization in developing countries. The rising consumer spending is also one of the dominant factors behind the market dominance of Asia Pacific. Country wise China is the largest market of the SBC and its derivatives in the world. The U.S. is a major market of the SBC and its derivatives in North America.
