Styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) is a copolymer derived from styrene and butadiene. The first major synthetic rubber produced globally, SBR has better processability, heat aging, and abrasion resistance ability than its counterparts. These features have increased the use of this elastomer in diverse industries, such as automobiles, footwear, civil construction, plastics, hospital materials, and other crucial sectors. SBR and BR are the most common varieties of synthetic rubber used in the production of tires. SBR is of mainly two grades emulsion SBR (E-SBR) and solution SBR (S-SBR), based on difference in their manufacturing process.

The global SBR market, by application, was valued at $2361.5 million in 2014 and is projected to reach $2498.5 million by 2019 at a CAGR of 1.1% during the forecast period. The market, by consumption, was led by tires in 2014, with a 74% share. It is projected to reach a volume of 646.6 KT at a CAGR of 1.9% through the forecasted period. The footwear is projected to register the highest CAGR of 2.6% through 2019. Germany and Russia are the key markets for SBR in the European region. The tire and footwear applications segment held a greater share of the SBR market, in terms of application, in 2014.

Based on application, the SBR market has been segmented into tire, footwear, construction, polymer modification, adhesives, and others. The tire segment held the largest market share of 74% in 2014. This segment is expected to continue to dominate the market although the footwear segment is projected to register a faster CAGR during the forecast period.

The key players in the European SBR market Lanxess (Germany), Styron Europe (Poland), Synthos S.A. (Italy), Versalis International (U.S.).
