According to a research report published by Spherical Insights & Consulting, the United States styrene butadiene rubber SBR market size is anticipated to reach USD 165.5 million by 2035, growing at a CAGR of 6.34% from 2025 to 2035. The styrene butadiene rubber SBR market in United States is driven by strong tire manufacturing demand, increased automobile production, rising sales of replacement tires, infrastructure development, the affordability of SBR, and growing industrial and footwear applications.

Market Overview

The United States styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) market extends to both SBR production and SBR consumption because SBR functions as a synthetic elastomer that provides high abrasion resistance and economical performance. The material serves multiple purposes, including its use in tire treads and sidewalls, footwear soles, conveyor belts, hoses, gaskets, adhesives and sealants, and flooring and industrial rubber goods, which support automotive and construction and manufacturing operations that need durable and high-performance materials.

Government policies, which include the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and fuel-efficiency tire standards, create a foundation for the United States SBR market, which drives demand in both the automotive and construction sectors. The Green Chemistry Program of the EPA, together with the Inflation Reduction Act, establishes sustainable SBR production methods and environmentally friendly technologies, while environmental regulations push the synthetic rubber industry towards cleaner production methods and new technological developments.

The United States has made progress through its bio-based and recycled SBR projects, which receive funding from businesses that develop sustainable materials and performance products for electric vehicle tires and high-performance applications. The development of sustainable practices benefits from increased research and development activities in recycling processes and advanced material compounding methods, while future opportunities emerge from environmentally friendly SBR materials, circular economy solutions, and the expansion of electric vehicle tire markets.
