By product, styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) dominates the global styrenic block copolymers (SBC) and its derivatives market, accounting for three-fourths of the market share during the forecast period. These compounds are cheaper and therefore accepted in many end-user applications such as food and automotive dashboards and interiors, specialty polymers, coated fabrics in contract furnishing, and in hot melt adhesives.
