Styrenic Block Copolymers (SBC) Market (Updated Version Available)

Styrene-based thermoplastic elastomers (also known as Styreneic Block Copolymers, abbreviated as SBCs) are the worlds largest thermoplastic elastomers currently with the most similar rubber properties. SBS styrenic thermoplastic elastomers are the most abundant (more than 70%) of SBCs with the lowest cost, and the widest range of applications.
Increasing geriatric population & the subsequent increase in healthcare facilities has driven the demand for medical equipment, devices & materials with high waterproofing capabilities to reduce the risk of contamination & epidemics. These factors have led to the increasing use of HSBC in medical devices to impart desirable properties such as long-lasting durability & pathogen-resistance. Increasing environmental concerns coupled with low cost of SBC have been replacing the application of PVC, rubber and other thermoplastics in many industrial applications. This factor is expected to drive the market over the foreseeable period. Asia Pacific has been the largest SBC market over the past few years on account of increasing application scope in roofing & paving, adhesives, sealants & coatings and medical sector in this region. The rise of China as a key manufacturer in the footwear segment and high infrastructural activities in APAC are the factors driving the demand for SBC. Also, the rise in consumption of baby diapers due to rise in the total birth rate will propel the market growth in APAC.
