The global Polyisobutylene (PIB) market size is predicted to grow from US$ 2117 million in 2025 to US$ 2565 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.2% from 2025 to 2031.
Polyisobutylene (PIB, also called polyisobutene, CAS 9003-27-4) is a vinyl polymer that is made from the monomer isobutylene (IB) by cationic polymerization.
PIB is a colorless to light-yellow, elastic, semisolid or viscous substance. It is odorless, tasteless, and nontoxic. Because of their highly paraffinic and nonpolar nature, PIBs are soluble in aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbon solvents and insoluble in polar solvents. Solubility generally decreases with increasing molecular weight of the polymer and increasing size of the aliphatic portion of the solvent molecule. The amorphous characteristics and low glass transition temperature (Tg = −62°C) of PIB impart high flexibility and permanent tack. Despite the favorable tack property, the adhesion of PIBs to many surfaces is weak because of their low polarity. This problem can be overcome by the addition of tackifiers (such as rosin ester resins) and other materials that will impart some polar properties to the formulation.
Global key producers of polyisobutylene (PIB) include TPC, Infineum, Lubrizol and others. The top four producers together account for more than 60% of the market share, with the largest producer being Daelim with 18% of the market share.
