Global High Molecular Weight Polyisobutylene Market 2025 by Manufacturers, Regions, Type and Application, Forecast to 2031
Description
According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global High Molecular Weight Polyisobutylene market size was valued at US$ 1086 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of USD 1469 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 4.4% during review period.
High Molecular Weight Polyisobutene is a linear saturated polymer produced by cationic polymerization of isobutylene monomers. Its molecular weight usually ranges from 100,000 to 10 million, and ultra-high molecular weight products can even reach millions to tens of millions.
Market Concentration and Key Players:
Internationally, the market concentration of high molecular weight polyisobutylene is relatively high, mainly concentrated in developed countries such as Europe, America and Japan. For example, Nikon, Leica and Zeiss and other large manufacturers; from the domestic point of view, inverted fluorescence microscope relies heavily on foreign imports, only Guangzhou Mingmei photoelectric technology production, there is still a lot of room for development.
Manufacturing Processes and Market Trends:
The preparation process of high molecular weight polyisobutylene takes cationic polymerization as the core, adopts isobutylene monomer to carry out under ultra-low temperature and AlCl or BF catalytic system, and realizes the synthesis of linear saturated polymer with molecular weight ranging from 100,000 to 10,000,000 by accurately controlling reaction temperature, catalyst concentration and solvent polarity. The traditional process relies on low temperature environment to inhibit chain transfer reaction and ensure uniform molecular weight distribution, but the energy consumption is high; in recent years, the introduction of titanium/boron composite catalyst raises the reaction temperature to-50~-30 ° C, significantly reducing energy consumption and improving yield. For functional modification, halogen addition or vegetable oil substitution in aliphatic hydrocarbon solvent is needed to enhance oil resistance and environmental protection.
In terms of market trends, the global demand for high molecular weight polyisobutylene continues to grow. China is the core producer and consumer country. The main driving force comes from automobile industry and new energy field. Its low gas permeability and chemical corrosion resistance become key materials. At the same time, Sino-US trade frictions accelerate the transformation of domestic enterprises to high-end, such as the development of bio-based HMW-PIB and nanocomposite modified products to comply with EU REACH and other environmental regulations. In addition, circular economy model and intelligent manufacturing technology are becoming the upgrading direction of the industry. In terms of international competition, BASF and other enterprises dominate the high-end market through technology monopoly, while local enterprises such as China Petrochemical Company expand their production capacity and export strategies (such as Southeast Asia and Europe).
