Synthetic Rubber Market Weakens on Falling Butadiene Prices

The global synthetic rubber market stays under downside pressure in mid-June 2026. Sustained drops in butadiene feedstock prices have pulled down quotations of polybutadiene rubber and styrene-butadiene rubber. Weaker cost support has triggered widespread price adjustments in both domestic and overseas markets.

Downstream industrial and tire sectors see stable basic demand. Nevertheless, high finished goods inventory and sluggish export orders have made buyers cautious. Most manufacturers only purchase materials as needed without large-scale stockpiling. Market watchers expect synthetic rubber to maintain a weak trend in the short term, and a notable price rebound is not expected anytime soon.
