폴리부텐-1 시장 기회, 성장 촉진요인, 산업 동향 분석, 예측(2025-2034년)

The Global Polybutene-1 Market, valued at USD 373.4 million in 2024, is expected to grow at a steady CAGR of 2.4% from 2025 to 2034. PB-1, particularly extrusion grade, is gaining traction due to its exceptional mechanical properties, including flexibility, creep resistance, and performance at low temperatures. These qualities make it a preferred material for applications requiring durability and reliability, such as plumbing systems and heating pipes. Its ability to maintain structural integrity under stress, combined with ease of processing, enhances its versatility in creating profiles, films, and sheets. Moreover, PB-1's resistance to chemicals and low permeability strengthens its use in packaging applications across various industries.

The construction sector's growth significantly influences the demand for materials like PB-1. With its essential role in plumbing and sealant applications, PB-1 continues to be indispensable in meeting the needs of evolving infrastructure and housing projects. The consistent growth of construction activities globally is likely to sustain the material's demand, particularly in regions where infrastructure developments are accelerating.

However, the market faces notable challenges due to the high production costs of PB-1. Advanced polymerization processes and specialized raw materials contribute to elevated expenses, making it less competitive compared to alternatives such as polyethylene and polypropylene. Energy-intensive manufacturing further compounds the issue, limiting PB-1 adoption in cost-sensitive markets. These financial constraints are particularly challenging in regions prioritizing affordability, restricting the market's broader expansion.

Extrusion grade PB-1 is the dominant product segment, projected to capture USD 270.7 million by 2034 with a CAGR of 2.5%. This grade is highly sought after due to its excellent flexibility, impact resistance, and low-temperature toughness, which are critical for plumbing, heating, and packaging applications. Its chemical resilience and ease of manufacturing complex shapes further cement its position as a leading choice in industrial applications.

Plumbing systems represent the largest application segment, accounting for a 52.1% market share in 2024, equating to USD 193.6 million. This dominance is driven by the need for materials that ensure safety, durability, and efficiency in water supply and waste management systems. Increased infrastructure investments and the preference for cost-effective, low-maintenance solutions further bolster demand in this sector.

In the U.S., the PB-1 market is forecasted to reach USD 92.8 million by 2034, growing at a 1.8% CAGR. Expanding applications in plumbing, automotive, and packaging, along with rising interest in sustainable materials, are driving growth across the region. PB-1's versatility and eco-friendly potential position it as a critical material in addressing modern industrial challenges.
