Market Insights
During the production processes of adhesives, sealants & coatings industry, SBCs and its derivatives are used in the reduction of solution viscosity in the elastomeric phase. Styrene-ethylene-butadiene-styrene (SEBS) is primarily used in healthcare applications, such as tubing for peristaltic pumps, coupled with its usage in vaccines and pharmaceutical manufacturing. Due to the distinctive features of SBS and its derivatives such as biodegradability, high resilience, optical clarity, low drug absorption, toughness, and process stability, they are increasingly used in the medical sector, and fueling the demand for flexible PVC in numerous applications.

One of the market constraints is the increasing popularity of OBCs. The development and introduction of Olefin Block Copolymer (OBCs) by major thermoplastic manufacturers, is making it difficult for the SBC and its derivatives manufacturers to retain their market share and competitiveness. The market for SBCs is partially consolidated as there are several products available in the market, increasing the competition.
