The global market for Neodymium-based Butadiene Rubber (NdBR) was estimated to be worth US$ 1485 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 1944 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 3.7% during the forecast period 2025-2031.
This report provides a comprehensive assessment of recent tariff adjustments and international strategic countermeasures on Neodymium-based Butadiene Rubber (NdBR) cross-border industrial footprints, capital allocation patterns, regional economic interdependencies, and supply chain reconfigurations.
Neodymium-based Butadiene Rubber (NdBR)is a high cis-1,4 polybutadiene rubber synthesized via solution polymerization using a neodymium-based catalyst. Compared with other catalyst systems (Ni-BR, Co-BR, Ti-BR), Nd-BR offers superior cis-1,4 content (>97%), resulting in excellent wear resistance, low rolling resistance, and outstanding elasticity. Its primary applications include high-performance tires (especially green tires), footwear materials, rubber products, and vibration-damping components.
Product Characteristics:
High Cis-1,4 Structure
Very Low Rolling Resistance (improves fuel efficiency, ideal for eco tires)
Excellent Wear Resistance (extends tire lifespan)
Good Low Temperature Flexibility (suitable for cold-region tires and dampers)
Outstanding Dynamic Properties (low heat build-up, high fatigue resistance)
Development Trends:
Development toward green, low-VOC production processes to reduce environmental impact.
Shift in demand to high-performance and smart tires (e.g., for EV applications).
Growing trend of localized capacity expansion, especially in Asia/China.
R&D focus on functionalized Nd-BR (e.g., grafting, copolymer modification) to improve compatibility with other rubbers like S-SBR.
Market Challenges:
High price volatility of butadiene feedstock, challenging cost control.
Complex process control requirements (strict control of temperature, molecular weight distribution, catalyst activity).
Intense competition in the high-performance tire market (synergy with S-SBR, Ni-BR, natural rubber needed).
Tightening environmental regulations, demanding lower VOC emissions and residual solvent content.
EVs raise stricter tire performance demands (low rolling resistance + high wear resistance + low noise).
