Global Isobutene Market Growth 2025-2031
Description
The global Isobutene market size is predicted to grow from US$ 4016 million in 2025 to US$ 5265 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.6% from 2025 to 2031.
The impact of the latest U.S. tariff measures and the corresponding policy responses from countries worldwide on market competitiveness, regional economic performance, and supply chain configurations will be comprehensively evaluated in this report.
Isobutene, also known as isobutylene, is a branched-chain olefin with the chemical formula C₄H₈. It is a colorless gas with a faint petroleum-like odor and is one of the major isomers of butene. Isobutene is produced through catalytic or thermal cracking of hydrocarbons and is primarily used as an intermediate in the chemical industry. Its key applications include the production of butyl rubber, methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE), and polyisobutylene, as well as in the synthesis of other specialty chemicals and fuel additives.
The isobutene market is an integral part of the global petrochemical and performance materials industry. Its demand is closely linked to downstream applications such as automotive, packaging, adhesives, and fuel blending. One of the most significant uses of isobutene is in the production of butyl rubber, which is vital for tire manufacturing due to its excellent impermeability and flexibility. Another major outlet is MTBE, a high-octane fuel additive, though environmental regulations have reduced its use in some regions. With the growing demand for high-performance materials, polyisobutylene derived from isobutene is also gaining traction, especially in lubricants, sealants, and medical-grade elastomers. Furthermore, emerging bio-based production technologies are being explored to reduce reliance on fossil fuel-derived isobutene, aligning with global sustainability goals. Technological advancements, shifting environmental policies, and regional differences in fuel regulations will continue to shape the competitive dynamics and investment strategies in the isobutene market.
