主要SBC製造商
在全球範圍內,SBC 產能分佈於幾家主要製造商,其中科騰公司 (Kraton Corporation) 是其中的佼佼者。科騰公司營運的 SBC 生產設施總合裝置容量超過 34 萬噸,分別位於美洲和西歐。其他知名製造商包括朝日化學、Dynasol Elastomers、LG 化學、韓國錦湖石化、奇美電子、可樂麗、李昌榮、海南巴菱化學、Versalis、台灣合成橡膠股份有限公司和日本瑞翁株式會社。這些製造商為眾多終端產業供應 SBC,為未來十年市場持續成長奠定了堅實的基礎。
需求促進因素
製鞋業是全球最大的SBC消費領域,尤其青睞SBS,因為其優異的抗衝擊性和鞋底耐用性。受鞋類產量擴大、消費者支出能力提升、電子商務快速成長、政府扶持政策以及人口快速成長等因素的推動,以中國為首的亞太地區在鞋類領域佔據SBC需求的主導地位。預計到2024年,中國作為全球最大的鞋類生產國和出口國,將佔據全球SBC需求的大部分佔有率。中國出口了約93億雙鞋,價值575億美元,其中皮鞋佔最大。強勁的出口活動,出口量和出口額分別年增6.6%和20.4%,凸顯了SBC在支持中國競爭性鞋類製造業發展方面的重要作用。
除了鞋類,鋪路和屋頂應用也是SBC的關鍵需求領域。這些共聚物廣泛用於改質瀝青黏合劑,提高其低溫抗裂性能,並增強其流變性能,使其不易受熱變化的影響。這種改質提高了鋪路和屋頂材料的耐久性和使用壽命,使SBC成為現代基礎設施建設的重要組成部分。
當地需求
亞太市場佔據主導地位,中國和印度是 SBC 消費成長最快的國家。受鞋類和鋪路及屋頂產業強勁需求的推動,中國佔全球市場佔有率。中國龐大的建築業構成了 SBC 不斷成長的需求的支柱,政府在基礎設施、都市化和農村道路建設方面投入了大量資金。中國政府的第十四個五年計畫(2021-2025 年)強調擴大新的基礎設施計劃,包括交通網路、能源系統、水資源管理和城市設施。預計該期間總投資為 4.2 兆美元,大量資金已分配給農村道路建設,以加強連結性並為農村地區提供就業機會。
印度在全球SBC市場中也扮演著日益重要的角色。 1.3兆美元國家基礎設施建設計劃以及「印度製造」和與生產掛鉤的激勵措施等措施預計將提振SBC的需求,尤其是在建築和工業應用領域。印度與杜拜夥伴關係在查謨和克什米爾地區開發工業和專業設施等雙邊計劃,就是戰略性基礎設施投資的典範,這些投資將使SBC市場持續成長至2032年。
市場挑戰與機會
儘管SBC市場正處於積極的成長軌跡,但也面臨著許多挑戰,包括原料價格波動、影響供應鏈的地緣政治風險以及針對環境影響的監管審查。然而,向更高性能、更永續材料的轉變帶來了巨大的機會。投資可再生能源認證SBC生產並開發用於基礎設施和消費應用的專用牌號的公司將擁有競爭優勢。
亞洲(尤其是中國和印度)的都市化、可支配收入的提高以及政府基礎設施支出,仍是長期需求的主要催化劑。此外,鞋類製造業和出口的擴張將繼續推動軟質泡沫塑膠(SBC)的消費,尤其是在亞太地區,從而鞏固該地區作為全球成長中心的地位。
本報告對全球苯乙烯共聚物(SBC) 市場進行了深入分析,包括市場動態、產業趨勢、細分市場需求和製造商概況。
Styrene block copolymers (SBCs) are a class of thermoplastic elastomers made by polymerizing styrene with other monomers such as butadiene or isoprene. These materials combine the strength and rigidity of polystyrene with the flexibility and elasticity of rubber-like blocks, offering excellent impact resistance, clarity, and processability. SBCs are widely used in applications like adhesives, sealants, packaging, automotive parts, and consumer goods due to their versatile properties. The major types of SBCs include styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS), styrene-isoprene-styrene (SIS), and hydrogenated variants, which offer enhanced heat, weather, and chemical resistance compared to natural rubber. These superior properties have made SBCs the most dominant TPE category, accounting for over 45% of global TPE demand in 2024.
SBCs Leading Manufacturers
Globally, the production capacity of SBCs is distributed among several key players, with Kraton Corporation standing out as a leader. Kraton operates SBC manufacturing facilities with a combined installed capacity exceeding 340 kilo tons, split evenly between the Americas and Western Europe. Other prominent producers include Asahi Chemical, Dynasol Elastomers, LG Chemical, Korea Kumho Petrochemical, Chi-Mei, Kuraray, Lee Chang Yung, Hainan Baling Chemical, Versalis, Taiwan Synthetic Rubber Corporation, and Zeon Corporation. These manufacturers supply SBCs to a wide array of end-use industries, establishing a strong foundation for sustained market growth in the coming decade.
Demand Drivers
The footwear industry represents the largest consumer of SBCs globally, particularly favoring SBS for its excellent impact resistance and durability in shoe soles. Asia-Pacific (APAC), led by China, dominates the SBC demand in the footwear segment, driven by factors such as expanding footwear production, increasing consumer spending power, rapid growth in e-commerce, supportive government policies, and a burgeoning population. In 2024, China alone accounted for a significant portion of global SBC demand due to its status as the world's largest footwear producer and exporter. The country exported approximately 9.3 billion pairs of footwear worth USD 57.5 billion, with leather shoes comprising the largest segment. This robust export activity, growing annually by 6.6% in volume and 20.4% in value, highlights the vital role of SBCs in sustaining China's competitive footwear manufacturing industry.
Besides footwear, paving and roofing applications also represent a critical area of demand for SBCs. These copolymers are widely used to modify asphalt binders, improving their cracking resistance at low temperatures and enhancing rheological properties, which reduces susceptibility to thermal fluctuations. This modification extends the durability and lifespan of pavements and roofing materials, making SBCs integral to modern infrastructure development.
Regional Demand
Asia Pacific market dominates the market with China and India leading as the fastest-growing countries for SBC consumption. China commands nearly 45% of the global market share, propelled by strong demand from the footwear and paving & roofing sectors. China's massive building and construction industry, coupled with substantial government investments in infrastructure, urbanization, and rural road development, forms the backbone of SBC demand growth. The Chinese government's 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-2025) emphasizes the expansion of new infrastructure projects including transportation networks, energy systems, water management, and urban facilities. Investments totaling an estimated USD 4.2 trillion are planned for this period, with significant funds allocated for rural road improvements aimed at enhancing connectivity and providing employment opportunities in rural areas.
India also plays an increasingly vital role in the global SBC market. Infrastructure projects under the National Infrastructure Pipeline, valued at USD 1.3 trillion, alongside initiatives like Make in India and production-linked incentives, are expected to boost demand for SBCs, particularly in construction and industrial applications. Bilateral projects such as the India-Dubai partnership to develop industrial parks and specialized facilities in Jammu & Kashmir exemplify the strategic infrastructure investments that will sustain SBC market growth through 2032.
Recent Developments
Recent expansions in production capacity highlight the confidence of key players in future demand growth. In 2024, Baling New Material and Sinopec Hainan Refining & Chemical launched a new 170-kiloton SBC plant, with an investment of nearly USD 280 million to produce 120 kilo tons of SBS and 50 kilo tons of SEBS. Kraton Corp has also been actively expanding, including a 24-kiloton SBS capacity increase at its Belpre, USA facility slated for 2024, and an upgrade at its Berre, France plant focused on producing renewable, ISCC PLUS certified SBC products under its CirKular+ ReNew series. Similarly, Dynasol Group announced a 10-kiloton capacity expansion at its Altamira, Mexico plant.
In Russia, Voronezhsintezkauchuk (SIBUR) operates a 135-kiloton SBC plant, having increased its SBS production by 50 kilo tons by the end of 2020 to meet rising demand in construction and footwear. This facility exports a significant portion of production to neighboring countries and focuses on improving product quality for road construction, roofing, and footwear applications.
Market Challenges and Opportunities
While the SBC market is on a positive growth trajectory, it faces challenges such as raw material price fluctuations, geopolitical risks affecting supply chains, and regulatory scrutiny related to environmental impacts. However, the shift towards higher-performance, more sustainable materials presents a significant opportunity. Companies investing in renewable-certified SBC production and developing specialized grades for infrastructure and consumer applications stand to gain a competitive edge.
Urbanization, rising disposable incomes, and government infrastructure spending in Asia, particularly China and India, remain the primary long-term demand catalysts. Moreover, expanding footwear manufacturing and exports will continue to fuel SBC consumption, particularly in APAC, solidifying the region's position as a global growth hub.
