The global isobutylene market, valued at USD 25,905 million in 2024, is projected to grow at a 5.5% CAGR, reaching USD 44,193 million by 2034. High-purity isobutylene (>99%) dominates with a 67.8% market share, driven by applications in pharmaceuticals, advanced polymers, and fuels. Butyl rubber, critical for the automotive and tire industries, is set to account for 66.7% of sales by 2024. With increasing biofuel adoption, bio-ETBE, derived from isobutylene, supports environmental goals, offering a 35-50% GHG reduction.

In the realm of synthetic rubber, isobutylene is a primary component in manufacturing butyl rubber. This material is valued for its impermeability to gases and resistance to heat and chemicals, making it indispensable in tire inner liners and various industrial applications. The expanding automotive industry, particularly in emerging markets, has further amplified the demand for butyl rubber, thereby boosting isobutylene usage.

The chemical industry also leverages isobutylene in producing various derivatives, including polyisobutylene and methacrylic acid. These derivatives find applications in adhesives, sealants, lubricants, and plastics, underscoring isobutylene's versatility. The growing construction and packaging sectors have consequently spurred the demand for these derivatives.

"The isobutylene market is experiencing robust growth, primarily driven by its critical role in fuel additives and synthetic rubber production. As industries seek sustainable and high-performance materials, isobutylene's applications are expanding, paving the way for innovative production methods and diversified usage," says Nikhil Kaitwade, Associate Vice President at Future Market Insights (FMI).
