The highly reactive polyisobutylene market was valued at $1.0 billion in 2021, and is projected to reach $1.6 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 5.5% from 2022 to 2031.
Highly reactive polyisobutylene polymer is made from isobutylene and is characterized by its high reactivity. It operates as an antifreeze agent, a gasoline additive to increase octane rating, and a monomer in the synthesis of other polymers. It is also used in the production of chewing gum, adhesives, and sealants. It is used in the production of synthetic rubber.
Highly reactive polyisobutylene is widely used as a sealant and adhesive in the construction industry due to the presence of inert material to maintain its amorphous nature when exposed to harsh chemicals, enabling it to be easily dissolved and rinsed. Furthermore, the stability and tackiness of HR-PIB make them suitable for hot melt pressure-sensitive adhesives; this is projected to drive market growth during the forecast period. An increase in the automotive industry is driving the demand for highly reactive polyisobutylene. Highly reactive polyisobutylene is also used in manufacturing inner liners of tires because of its impermeable nature. It is also used in the production of tubeless tires which are more durable. Furthermore, high demand for HR-PIB from the building and construction industry owing to its properties such as stability and high viscosity, thus this factor will boost the market growth during the forecast period. Building & construction segment is projected to provide numerous opportunities in the industry. This segment in the adhesives and sealants industry is witnessing rapid technological and architectural innovation. Airports, mining facilities, transportation routes, and even residential projects are undergoing an immense transformation to comply with transitioning standards and specifications.
The highly reactive polyisobutylene market is segmented on the basis of molecular weight, application, and region. By molecular weight, the market is categorized into low, medium, and high. By application, it is divided into adhesives and sealants, lubricants and grease, hydraulic fluids, metal working fluids, and others. Region-wise it is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and LAMEA. Drivers, restraints, and opportunities are explained in the report to understand the market. Further, key strategies adopted by potential market leaders to facilitate effective planning have also been discussed under the scope of the report.

Executive Summary
According to this report, titled, 'Highly Reactive Polyisobutylene Market,' the highly reactive polyisobutylene market was valued at $1.0 billion in 2021, and is estimated to reach $1.6 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 5.5% from 2022 to 2031.High reactive polyisobutylene is bright, clear, and viscous in nature. Highly reactive term is in reference to the materials increased terminally positioned doubled bonds also called as the molecule'vinylidene' content. HR-PIB can be replaced with conventional polyisobutylene but its primary application is as a reactionary intermediate. HR-PIB also has an increased polydispersity index when compared to conventional PIB. Highly reactive polyisobutylene has a broad range of applications such as adhesives and sealants, lubricant & grease manufacturers, metal working, cosmetics, HI & I, and mining.
Market for highly reactive polyisobutylene is witnessing growth in North America and the Asia-Pacific regions due to increase in demand for lubricants and hydraulic fluids and growing urbanization and industrialization. The rise in use of HR-PIB in the creation of additives, lubricants, and high-performance fuel is another factor contributing to the growth of the market. The rise in demand for automotive and industrial applications is accountable for the HR-PIB market expansion over the projection period. In addition, a rise in awareness regarding the benefits of using HR-PIB in various end-use industries is driving market growth.
The highly reactive polyisobutylene market is segmented on the basis of molecular weight, application, and region. On the basis of molecular weight, the market is divided into low, medium, and high. The medium segment accounted for the largest market share in 2021, owing to the high demand for medium molecular weight HR-PIB from the automotive and construction industry as it has a broad melting point and low density.
By application, it is divided into adhesives and sealants, lubricants and grease, hydraulic fluids, metal working fluids and others. The lubricants and grease segment accounted for the largest revenue share in the global highly reactive polyisobutylene market in 2021. High demand for HR-PIB in high-performance fuel and lubricant additive production is projected to drive market growth during the projection period.
Region wise, Asia-Pacific accounted for the largest market share in the market, and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.1% during the forecast period. Increase in construction and automotive markets in countries such as France and Germany have benefited the global highly reactive polyisobutylene market.
