Styrene butadiene rubber (SBR)-based adhesive refers to an adhesive that incorporates SBR, a synthetic rubber derived from styrene and butadiene, as its primary component to provide bonding capabilities. These adhesives are favored for their strength, abrasion resistance, and performance across various environmental conditions.
The main types of SBR-based adhesives are solution types and emulsion types. Solution types of SBR are produced through solution polymerization, where styrene and butadiene monomers are polymerized in a solvent with the aid of catalysts, resulting in SBR with a random copolymer structure. In contrast, emulsion-based SBR is utilized for its superior adhesion properties and flexibility. Applications of these adhesives include tapes, flooring adhesives, and more, serving end-use industries such as automotive, construction, industrial manufacturing, and packaging.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
Tariffs have impacted the SBR based adhesive market by increasing costs of imported styrene, butadiene, and polymer raw materials. These effects have been felt across construction, automotive, and packaging applications, particularly in Asia Pacific and Latin America. Higher raw material prices have influenced adhesive pricing. At the same time, tariffs have encouraged domestic polymer production. This has supported regional supply chains and reduced long term import dependency.

This styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) based adhesive market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) based adhesive market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $5.35 billion in 2025 to $5.67 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.0%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rubber based adhesive demand, construction industry growth, flooring installation needs, industrial manufacturing expansion, availability of sbr polymers.
The styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) based adhesive market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $7.13 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to infrastructure development projects, low cost adhesive demand, packaging industry growth, formulation improvements, regional manufacturing expansion. Major trends in the forecast period include stable demand in flooring and tapes, growing use in construction applications, expansion of emulsion based adhesives, focus on cost effective bonding solutions, rising adoption in packaging applications.
The expansion of the construction industry is expected to drive the growth of the styrene butadiene rubber (SBR)-based adhesive market in the coming years. The construction sector is expanding due to factors such as increasing urbanization, rising government investment in infrastructure, the adoption of sustainable and green building practices, and ongoing industrial development. Styrene butadiene rubber (SBR)-based adhesives improve the durability and flexibility of construction materials by enhancing resistance to environmental and mechanical stress. For example, in April 2025, an article published by Nilead, a Vietnam-based digital solutions platform, reported that construction spending in the United States increased by 3.2% from 2022 to 2023. Therefore, the growth of the construction industry is contributing to the expansion of the styrene butadiene rubber (SBR)-based adhesive market.
Major companies operating in the styrene butadiene rubber (SBR)-based adhesive market are concentrating on the development of high-performance materials, such as those produced through selective hydrogenation, to improve both performance and sustainability in response to rising demand for environmentally responsible and high-performance bonding solutions across various applications. Selective hydrogenation is a chemical process that involves the targeted addition of hydrogen to specific unsaturated bonds, enhancing material stability and performance while preserving key functional structures within the molecule. For instance, in June 2024, Asahi Kasei Corporation, a Japan-based chemical manufacturer, introduced functionalized hydrogenated styrene butadiene rubber (HSBR) and thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) solutions designed to reduce reliance on fillers such as silica or carbon black. The functionalized HSBR combines improved processability and compatibility with enhanced resistance to heat, aging, and chemicals, while also reducing the need for antioxidants such as 6PPD, thereby lowering environmental risks. Additionally, the increased hardness achieved through hydrogenation enables reduced filler usage, making these materials suitable for applications including performance tires, belts, hoses, and other durable rubber products.
In May 2025, Sojitz Corporation, a Japan-based trading and investment company, acquired Nippon A&L Inc. for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Sojitz aims to strengthen its position in advanced materials and chemical solutions by expanding its portfolio of SBR latexes and related high-performance polymer products. Nippon A&L Inc. is a Japan-based specialty chemical company that supplies styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) latex products used as adhesives and bonding agents.
