Market Analysis 

The global hydrogenated styrene block copolymers market is likely to grow at a healthy CAGR between 2017- 2023, according to the recent Market Research Future (MRFR) report. Hydrogenated styrene block copolymers or HSBC is a polymeric material that is highly engineered and manufactured by the hydrogenation of SBC (styrene block copolymer). It is composed of thermoplastic and elastomeric material which possesses a triblock structure. HSBC has high thermo-oxidative UV stability. Owing to its alluring features such as low toxicity, excellent chemical resistance properties and low temperature, superior heat resistance and weather ability, and good electrical insulation properties, HSBC has wide applications in healthcare, chemicals, footwear, automotive, construction, and other industries. 

Various factors are adding to the global hydrogenated styrene block copolymers market share. These factors, as per the new MRFR report, include increasing construction activities across the globe, increasing use of hydrogenated styrene block copolymer in the footwear production for its durability and high tensile strength, rising demand from the automotive and construction industries, and high thermo-oxidative UV stability
