主要SBC製造商
在全球范围内,SBC 产能分布于几家主要製造商,其中科腾公司 (Kraton Corporation) 是其中的佼佼者。科腾公司营运的 SBC 生产设施总合装置容量超过 34 万吨,分别位于美洲和西欧。其他知名製造商包括朝日化学、Dynasol Elastomers、LG 化学、韩国锦湖石化、奇美电子、可乐丽、李昌荣、海南巴菱化学、Versalis、台湾合成橡胶股份有限公司和日本瑞翁株式会社。这些製造商为众多终端产业供应 SBC,为未来十年市场持续成长奠定了坚实的基础。
需求驱动因素
製鞋业是全球最大的SBC消费领域,尤其青睐SBS,因为其优异的抗衝击性和鞋底耐用性。受鞋类产量扩大、消费者支出能力提升、电子商务快速成长、政府扶持政策以及人口快速成长等因素的推动,以中国为首的亚太地区在鞋类领域占据SBC需求的主导地位。预计到2024年,中国作为全球最大的鞋类生产国和出口国,将占据全球SBC需求的大部分份额。中国出口了约93亿双鞋,价值575亿美元,其中皮鞋占最大。强劲的出口活动,出口量和出口额分别年增6.6%和20.4%,凸显了SBC在支持中国竞争性鞋类製造业发展方面的重要作用。
除了鞋类,铺路和屋顶应用也是SBC的关键需求领域。这些共聚物广泛用于改质沥青黏合剂,提高其低温抗裂性能,并增强其流变性能,使其不易受热变化的影响。这种改质提高了铺路和屋顶材料的耐久性和使用寿命,使SBC成为现代基础设施建设的重要组成部分。
当地需求
亚太市场占据主导地位,中国和印度是 SBC 消费成长最快的国家。受鞋类和铺路及屋顶产业强劲需求的推动,中国占全球市场占有率。中国庞大的建筑业构成了 SBC 不断增长的需求的支柱,政府在基础设施、都市化和农村道路建设方面投入了大量资金。中国政府的第十四个五年计画(2021-2025 年)强调扩大新的基础设施计划,包括交通网络、能源系统、水资源管理和城市设施。预计该期间总投资为 4.2 兆美元,大量资金已分配给农村道路建设,以加强连结性并为农村地区提供就业机会。
印度在全球SBC市场中也扮演着日益重要的角色。 1.3兆美元国家基础设施建设计划以及「印度製造」和与生产挂钩的激励措施等措施预计将提振SBC的需求,尤其是在建筑和工业应用领域。印度与杜拜伙伴关係在查谟和克什米尔地区开发工业和专业设施等双边计划,就是战略性基础设施投资的典范,这些投资将使SBC市场持续成长至2032年。
市场挑战与机会
儘管SBC市场正处于积极的成长轨迹,但也面临着许多挑战,包括原材料价格波动、影响供应链的地缘政治风险以及针对环境影响的监管审查。然而,向更高性能、更永续材料的转变带来了巨大的机会。投资可再生能源认证SBC生产并开发用于基础设施和消费应用的专用牌号的公司将拥有竞争优势。
亚洲(尤其是中国和印度)的都市化、可支配收入的提高以及政府基础设施支出,仍是长期需求的主要催化剂。此外,鞋类製造业和出口的扩张将继续推动软质泡沫塑胶(SBC)的消费,尤其是在亚太地区,从而巩固该地区作为全球成长中心的地位。
本报告对全球苯乙烯共聚物(SBC) 市场进行了深入分析,包括市场动态、产业趋势、细分市场需求和製造商概况。
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.
