Butadiene is the most important feedstock to produce a wide variety of synthetic rubber and polymer resins. The demand of butadiene is chiefly driven by BR and SBR.
Global Butadiene Production (2007-2015E) The global production of butadiene increased by million ton to reach million tons in 2013 compared to million ton production in 2012 thereby representing an increase of %. The production is expected to expand to million tons by the end of 2015, up by %, compared to 2013. High demand and low operating cost has led the increase in production of butadiene. In ESBR segment of SBR, KKPC accounted for .% of the global capacity in 2013 thereby leading the market. ISP Elastomers, on the second position, represented % share. Other major players of this category include Goodyear, Qilu PC, Fushun PC and Lanxess. The global butadiene capacity of million tons was reported at the end of year 2013. This represented an incline of %, compared to million tons in the previous year. The capacity is further anticipated to grow by % to reach million tons by the end of 2015, compared to 2013.

The key factors driving growth of the global synthetic rubber industry include accelerating automotive industry, technological advancement and slump in the raw material prices.
Total Synthetic Rubber Capacity Addition (2008-2015E) Global Synthetic Rubber Consumption Forecast (2009-2017F)
000 Tons
An escalating trend has been observed in the global capacity addition of synthetic rubber since 2010. In 2013, tons of additional capacity has been recorded, representing an incline of %, compared to tons capacity addition in 2012. However, the capacity addition is projected to reduce by % in 2015, compared to 2013. In 2014 and 2015, the synthetic rubber industry is anticipated to add tons and tons of additional capacity respectively. The consumption of synthetic rubber is poised to grow at a compounded annual growth rate of % from million tons in 2014 to million tons in 2017. The future growth would mainly be driven by the strengthening fundamentals in the tire industry, oil demand and butadiene production. Among the synthetic rubber types, BR and SBR are the major ones, together constituting % of the Chinas Synthetic rubber capacity in 2013. Out of the total SBR capacity, ESBR accounted for % of Chinas SBR capacity and SSBR for %. BR claimed % of the total synthetic rubber capacity of China as the trend of high-performance flat and tubeless radial tires became inevitable. NBR, IIR and EPR represented %, and % share, respectively, of the total capacity in 2013.
Note: Market attractiveness is inverse of penetration. Low penetration means high attractiveness and vice-versa
