Market Definition
Hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) is an oligomer of the chemical compound butadiene with hydroxyl functional groups completed at the individual end. Polyurethane polymers are produced with the reaction of hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene with isocyanates. It is a liquid that is translucent and has a color alike to that of wax paper and viscosity texture as that of corn syrup. The major application area for the HTPB compounds is solid rocket propellant. Due to the properties such as excellent hydrophobicity, low glass transition temperatures, and low volatiles content, these polybutadienes are used majorly in aerospace and defense industries.
Regulatory Framework
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA): All components of HTPB are listed or excluded from listing on the United States Environmental Protection Agency Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) inventory. This product contains no toxic chemicals in excess of the applicable de minimis concentration subject to the reporting requirements of Section 313 of Title III of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 and 40 CFR Part 372.
The Market Dynamics of the Asia-Pacific Hydroxyl-Terminated Polybutadiene (HTPB) Market Include:
Drivers/Opportunities in the Asia-Pacific Hydroxyl-Terminated Polybutadiene (HTPB) Market
- Growing demand for innovative aerospace components

Aircraft manufacturers have benefited greatly due to advancements in material science. Therefore, the efficiency of the hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene in aerospace technology improves airplane wings and makes aircraft more lightweight and fuel-efficient.
- Gaining popularity of hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) in the automotive industry
With the increase in disposable incomes across major economies of the world. The demand for automobiles has flourished. This increase in automobile production can also be attributed to the easy availability of loans and continued preference for personal mobility, especially after the pandemic. The demand for commercial vehicles has also increased due to trade activities.
- The use of hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) in solid rocket propellant
Growing active participation and interest by governments in strengthening their space capabilities. Rise in efforts and initiatives by space agencies, research centers, and even private companies in some parts of the globe to launch unmanned space vehicles. Growing satellite launches for communication purposes. These are the key drivers behind the demand for rocket propulsion systems growth. This growth in the Asia-Pacific aerospace industry directly impacts the hydroxyl terminated polybutadiene market growth.
- Positive outlook towards consumer electronic goods
Consumer or home electronics are electric devices designed for everyday use, generally in private homes. Consumer electronics encompass a variety of gadgets used for entertainment, communication, and recreation, including mobile phones, TVs, and circuit boards. The electronic manufacturing services (EMS) market remains a very active market, driven primarily by the consumer electronics and communications industries. In response to increasingly fierce competition in the industry, EMS providers are increasingly embracing innovative and strategic business models along with an increased demand for hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB).
Restraints/Challenges faced by the Asia-Pacific Hydroxyl-Terminated Polybutadiene (HTPB) Market
- High strain rate and shock properties of hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB)
Hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) is a polymeric binder used in polymer-bonded explosives (PBXs) and solid rocket propellants. Even though used in small fractions, the elastomeric binder absorbs much of the impact energy. It, therefore, requires careful modeling of its mechanical behavior to accurately simulate the response of PBXs when they are subjected to large strains and strain rates.
- Hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) grain cannot be reshaped, reused, or recycled
The most commonly used hybrid rocket fuel, hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB), is a legacy thermosetting polymer material frequently used as a binder for solid-rocket propellant grains. The hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) remains the primary polymer for hybrid fuel grain material due to its industry familiarity with its chemical and structural properties.
COVID-19 had a Minimal Impact on Asia-Pacific Hydroxyl-Terminated Polybutadiene (HTPB) Market
COVID-19 impacted various manufacturing and service-providing industries in the year 2020-2021 as it led to the closure of workplaces, disruption of supply chains, and restrictions on transportation. Though, the imbalance between demand and supply and its impact on pricing is considered short-term and expected to recover as this pandemic ends. Due to the outbreak of Covid-19 throughout the globe, the demand for hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) was decreased. Thus, the automotive, electrical and electronics, building, and construction industries suffered a lot during Covid-19 outbreak. The hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) industry will hopefully grow with the removed restrictions in varied countries.
