Based on product, the market is segmented into isoprene, polybutadiene, SBR and others. The styrene-butadiene rubber segment currently leads the market, generating about USD 6 billion revenue in 2023. Its versatility, excellent abrasion resistance, and superior performance make it a top choice for applications like adhesives, sealants, and tire manufacturing. SBR enhances product longevity and durability, solidifying its preference in industries, especially automotive and construction. While Isoprene and Polybutadiene find significant use in specialized areas like high-performance tires and coatings, they lag behind SBR in market share.
 

Based on application, the market is segmented into adhesive, IRM, tires, polymer modification and others. The tire industry leads the liquid synthetic rubber market, underscoring the material's pivotal role in boosting tire performance, durability, and fuel efficiency. In tire formulations, liquid synthetic rubber enhances grip, minimizes rolling resistance, and extends overall tire longevity, solidifying its importance for tire manufacturers worldwide. The adhesive segment commands a notable market share, fueled by its widespread use in construction, automotive, and industrial sectors. Moreover, industries are increasingly turning to liquid synthetic rubber for industrial rubber manufacturing (IRM) and polymer modification, seeking enhanced flexibility and resilience in their offerings.
 

Asia Pacific accounted for over 50% of the liquid synthetic rubber market share in 2023 due to rising vehicle sales. The region attracts manufacturers with its abundant raw materials and cost-effective labor. Government initiatives to boost domestic vehicle production and reduce import dependence are expected to enhance revenue generation. For instance, in 2021, the Indian government launched the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme to promote domestic manufacturing of vehicles and auto components. The Middle East & Africa market, still in its early stages, is set for steady growth. Investments from public and private sectors in construction and plastic manufacturing drive this growth.
