Polyisobutene is valued for its emollient properties, making it an effective ingredient in skincare formulations. It helps moisturize and soften the skin, formulating lotions, creams, and moisturizers. The use of this in personal care products improves the performance of formulations. It aids in creating products that spread easily, providing a smooth and velvety feel on the skin. The versatility of this allows formulators to use it in various personal care products, including lip products, foundations, sunscreens, and hair care items. Additionally, higher disposable incomes make consumers more likely to invest in automotive products and maintenance. Polyisobutene, used in automotive lubricants and additives, benefits from increased demand as consumers prioritize the performance and longevity of their vehicles. Increased spending on home improvement projects is observed when disposable incomes rise. Thus, because of the rising disposable income and consumer goods, the market is anticipated to increase significantly.

However, significant cost volatility for producers of this can result from fluctuations in the price of raw materials, particularly isobutylene. Sudden and unpredictable changes in raw material costs can impact profit margins and make financial planning challenging. Sharp increases in raw material prices without corresponding adjustments in product pricing can squeeze profit margins for polyisobutene manufacturers. This can be particularly challenging if the industry faces competitive pressures and limited flexibility in adjusting product prices. Thus, fluctuating raw material prices can slow down the growth of the market.
