Global Isobutylene Market Growth 2025-2031
Description
The global Isobutylene 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.
Isobutylene, also known as 2-methylpropene, is a colorless, flammable gas with the chemical formula C₄H₈. It is one of the isomers of butene and has a branched structure. Isobutylene is typically produced through the catalytic cracking of hydrocarbons or as a by-product of refinery and steam cracking operations. It serves as a key intermediate in the chemical industry, especially in the production of butyl rubber, methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE), polyisobutylene, and other specialty chemicals. Due to its reactive double bond, it is also used in polymerization and alkylation processes.
The isobutylene market plays a strategic role in the global petrochemical value chain. Its significance lies in its versatility as a building block for numerous high-value products. A major portion of isobutylene is used to produce butyl rubber, a critical material in tire manufacturing due to its excellent impermeability and durability. Additionally, polyisobutylene, derived from isobutylene, finds wide application in lubricants, adhesives, fuel additives, and sealants. Environmental shifts have impacted MTBE usage—previously a major end-use—but demand continues in regions with fewer regulatory restrictions. Moreover, technological advances are driving the development of bio-based isobutylene, appealing to industries seeking renewable and lower-emission raw materials. With growing global focus on fuel efficiency, vehicle electrification, and material sustainability, isobutylene is increasingly integrated into next-generation product development. Regional supply dynamics, feedstock availability, and downstream industry trends will continue to influence the evolution of the isobutylene market across Asia-Pacific, North America, and Europe.
