    According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Polybutadiene Rubber for ABS market size was valued at US$ 602 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 901 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 5.9% during review period.
    In 2025, the average commercial market price of Polybutadiene Rubber for ABS is estimated at approximately USD 1,600–2,000 per ton, while the industry average gross margin is estimated at around 12%–22%.Polybutadiene Rubber for ABS refers to specialized polybutadiene-based rubber materials used as the dispersed rubber phase in the manufacturing of Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) resins, primarily including low-cis polybutadiene rubber for ABS, ABS latex/PBL (Polybutadiene Latex), and graft-oriented polybutadiene systems. These products are commonly supplied in the form of latex, emulsion polybutadiene, or low-cis polybutadiene pellets and are manufactured through emulsion polymerization, solution polymerization, and graft polymerization technologies. Key technical indicators include gel content, particle size distribution, grafting efficiency, molecular weight distribution, volatile control, and compatibility with SAN matrices. ABS polybutadiene rubber serves as the critical impact-modifying phase that determines toughness and low-temperature impact resistance in ABS resins and is widely applied in home appliances, automotive interior and exterior components, consumer electronics, office equipment, power tools, and industrial plastic products. Mass ABS and emulsion ABS remain the dominant downstream production routes. As demand continues to rise for high-gloss ABS, low-VOC ABS, heat-resistant ABS, and automotive-grade ABS, the industry is increasingly focused on high-purity, low-residual, and high-grafting-efficiency rubber systems.
    The ABS-grade polybutadiene rubber market is significantly smaller than both the general-purpose polybutadiene rubber market and the broader ABS resin market, but it plays a critical and irreplaceable role within the ABS value chain. Unlike commodity rubber products, ABS-grade polybutadiene is a highly specialized material designed specifically for ABS engineering plastics, with product performance directly affecting impact resistance, low-temperature toughness, surface appearance, and processing stability of ABS resins. From a product perspective, the industry mainly consists of low-cis polybutadiene rubber, ABS latex systems, and grafting emulsion technologies. Bulk-process ABS production relies more heavily on low-cis BR materials, while emulsion ABS systems depend more on highly stable ABS latex formulations.
    Home appliances, consumer electronics, and automotive applications remain the largest downstream markets for ABS-grade polybutadiene rubber. In recent years, automotive lightweighting, smart cockpit systems, power tools, and AI-related electronic devices have become some of the most important growth drivers. As automotive interior materials move toward lower VOC emissions, higher heat resistance, and improved impact performance, ABS rubber systems are increasingly shifting toward higher purity, lower residual monomer content, and better grafting efficiency. At the same time, growing demand for high-gloss, high-flow, and thin-wall ABS materials in consumer electronics is continuing to support expansion of premium ABS latex systems. Although global ABS resin demand overall has entered a more moderate growth stage, high-end ABS rubber systems continue to show relatively stable growth, particularly in automotive-grade and electronics-grade ABS applications where product upgrading remains faster than the broader market average.
    From the supply side, the global ABS-grade polybutadiene rubber industry has long been dominated by Japanese and Korean suppliers, while Chinese manufacturers are rapidly increasing their market presence. Companies in Japan and South Korea maintain strong advantages in ABS latex technology, grafting control, and high-end ABS rubber systems, and many have long-term relationships with global premium ABS resin producers. Meanwhile, Chinese companies are benefiting from rapid domestic ABS capacity expansion, a more integrated C4 supply chain, and growing localization trends in engineering plastics. In recent years, major Chinese petrochemical groups have accelerated development of low-cis BR and ABS latex production, with some local suppliers beginning to enter automotive ABS, high-gloss ABS, and low-VOC ABS markets.
    From a regional perspective, Asia remains the global center of ABS-grade polybutadiene rubber production and supply. Mainland China, South Korea, Taiwan, and Japan together form the world’s most important ABS rubber manufacturing cluster, while Europe and North America remain more focused on high-end emulsion technologies and regional specialty supply markets.
