Global Neodymium-based Butadiene Rubber (NdBR) Supply, Demand and Key Producers, 2026-2032

The global Neodymium-based Butadiene Rubber (NdBR) market size is expected to reach $ 2057 million by 2032, rising at a market growth of 3.6% CAGR during the forecast period (2026-2032).

Neodymium-based Butadiene Rubber (NdBR)is a high cis-1,4 polybutadiene rubber synthesized via solution polymerization using a neodymium-based catalyst. Compared with other catalyst systems (Ni-BR, Co-BR, Ti-BR), Nd-BR offers superior cis-1,4 content (>97%), resulting in excellent wear resistance, low rolling resistance, and outstanding elasticity. Its primary applications include high-performance tires (especially green tires), footwear materials, rubber products, and vibration-damping components.

Product Characteristics：

High Cis-1,4 Structure

Very Low Rolling Resistance (improves fuel efficiency, ideal for eco tires)

Excellent Wear Resistance (extends tire lifespan)

Good Low Temperature Flexibility (suitable for cold-region tires and dampers)

Outstanding Dynamic Properties (low heat build-up, high fatigue resistance)

Development Trends:

Development toward green, low-VOC production processes to reduce environmental impact.

Shift in demand to high-performance and smart tires (e.g., for EV applications).

Growing trend of localized capacity expansion, especially in Asia/China.

R&D focus on functionalized Nd-BR (e.g., grafting, copolymer modification) to improve compatibility with other rubbers like S-SBR.

Market Challenges:

High price volatility of butadiene feedstock, challenging cost control.

Complex process control requirements (strict control of temperature, molecular weight distribution, catalyst activity).

Intense competition in the high-performance tire market (synergy with S-SBR, Ni-BR, natural rubber needed).

Tightening environmental regulations, demanding lower VOC emissions and residual solvent content.

EVs raise stricter tire performance demands (low rolling resistance + high wear resistance + low noise).
