Market Dynamics
Introduction
Isoprene is a natural organic compound with a molecular formula C5H8. It is a volatile liquid hydrocarbon found in various plants, particularly trees, as well as in certain animals. Isoprene plays a vital role in the biosynthesis of natural rubber, where many plants release it into the atmosphere in significant amounts. It is considered a building block for the creation of various essential chemicals and materials, including synthetic rubber and polymers. In the atmosphere, isoprene contributes to the formation of secondary organic aerosols and participates in atmospheric chemistry, impacting air quality and climate.
Market Drivers
The Isoprene market drivers can be summarized as follows:
- Demand Drivers: The demand for isoprene is influenced by its role in the production of synthetic rubber, elastomers, and other polymers used in industries such as automotive, construction, and consumer goods.
