Hydrogenated Polyisobutene Market, By Product Type (Emollient, Viscosity Increasing Agent, Plasticizer, and Others (Extruders, etc.)), By End-use Industry (Cosmetics & Personal Care, Adhesives, Rubber, and Others), By Geography (North America, Latin Ameri

The hydrogenated polyisobutene market is estimated to be valued at USD 19.4 Mn in 2025, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.93% over the forecast period (2025-2032). Hydrogenated polyisobutene is a non-toxic semi-synthetic polymer derived from polyisobutylene. It is widely used as an emollient and moisturizer in cosmetics and personal care products. Hydrogenated polyisobutene forms a transparent film on the skin that protects it from moisture loss. It is highly compatible with the skin and other ingredients.

Market Dynamics:

The global hydrogenated polyisobutene market is primarily driven by the growing demand for moisturizing and conditioning products from the personal care sector. The ability of hydrogenated polyisobutene to form an invisible film on the skin that protects it from moisture loss makes it highly desirable for use in lotions, creams, and other skincare products. Moreover, hydrogenated polyisobutene is non-comedogenic and hypoallergenic, which further expands its usage. However, stringent regulations regarding the use of chemicals in cosmetics and personal care may hinder the market growth. On the other hand, the introduction of innovative products incorporating hydrogenated polyisobutene provides opportunities for market expansion. The moisturizing properties and skin-conditioning abilities of hydrogenated polyisobutene make it suitable for use in lotions, creams, and other topical formulations. The global hydrogenated polyisobutene market is projected to grow steadily driven by the expanding personal care and cosmetics industry.
