Leading players operating in the global styrene butadiene styrene market are also profiled in detail in the report in order to provide readers with a comprehensive overview of the competitive landscape of the market. Styrene-butadiene styrene is widely used in footwear production. This has been the major driver for the global styrene butadiene styrene market over the historical review period due to the growing urbanization around the world, which has led to increasing demand for modern, advanced footwear that is sturdy and can last a long time. Styrene-butadiene styrene is a thermoplastic elastomer that properties of both plastics and rubbers simultaneously. This makes it the ideal material for footwear, which is designed to bend and remain durable under physical and chemical stresses. The increasing diversification in the footwear industry, leading to the creation of several classes of footwear for specific purposes, has also been a major driver for the styrene-butadiene styrene market, as the overall production volume of the footwear industry has grown rapidly in the last few years. The increasing demand for modified bitumen from the construction and roadbuilding industry is also likely to be a major driver for the global styrene butadiene styrene market over the forecast period. The increasing urbanization around the world has driven the demand for advanced roadbuilding comprising of long-lasting, sturdy ingredients. Styrene-butadiene styrene has emerged as a key ingredient in this regard, as it imparts longevity to roadbuilding initiatives and protects the road from the water, heat, and other environmental factors. Increasing roadbuilding activity in the developing regions of Asia Pacific, the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America is likely to be a major driver for the styrene-butadiene-styrene market over the forecast period. The increasing demand for road renovations in developed regions such as North America and Europe is also likely to be a major driver for the styrene-butadiene-styrene market. Segmentation: By application, the global styrene butadiene styrene market is segmented into footwear, asphalt modification, polymer modification, adhesives and sealants, medical devices, electric and electronic devices, and TPE compounding. The footwear sector holds a leading 29% share in the global styrene butadiene styrene market and is likely to remain the leading revenue generator over the forecast period. The asphalt modification segment is the second-largest application segment of the styrene-butadiene-styrene market and is also likely to grow over the forecast period thanks to the increasing volume of roadbuilding activity around the world. Regional Analysis: Asia Pacific holds the largest share in the global styrene butadiene styrene market and is likely to exhibit growth at the highest CAGR of 7.07% over the forecast period. Increasing roadbuilding activities in the region’s developing economies are likely to remain a major factor in the growth of the styrene-butadiene-styrene market over the forecast period. The increasing urbanization in the region is also likely to drive the demand for footwear, further propelling the styrene-butadiene-styrene market over the forecast period.
