Market Overview 

The polyisobutylene (PIB) industry comprises the manufacture, distribution, and consumption of PIB, an elastomer or synthetic rubber which is manufactured by the polymerization of isobutylene. PIB possesses certain characteristic properties, that is, high molecular weight, low reactivity, as well as satisfactory adhesion and water resistance, because of which it finds many uses. The steady expansion of the automobile sector due to increased consumer disposable incomes and urbanization has been a major driving force for the market. PIB has extensive uses in engine oils, fuel additives, and lubricants, where it enhances performance by thickening viscosity, reducing friction, and extending the life of engine components. National demand for cleaner, fuel-efficient vehicles is increasing the use of high-performance lubricants, thus spurring the use of PIB. Continuous research in the chemical and petrochemical industries has also compelled industry players to increase product-launch frequencies since polyisobutylene plays an important role in shaping the demand for first-rate chemical compositions.
