This guide will help suppliers stay abreast of market trends in Vietnam, mitigate potential risks and enhance their international competitiveness.

Industry Overview

Styrene-Butadiene Rubber (SBR) constitutes a vital component of the rubber chemicals and polymer materials industries, primarily serving downstream sectors such as tire manufacturing, general rubber products, and footwear materials.

Vietnam’s SBR industry has maintained steady growth in recent years, driven primarily by the expansion of the domestic automotive manufacturing, tire, and general rubber products sectors.

Vietnam’s domestic production capacity for styrene-butadiene rubber is limited and unable to fully meet the demands of downstream industries. Therefore, it is highly dependent on imports. Major sources of imports include South Korea, Japan, China, and other Southeast Asian nations.

The industry market exhibits a trend toward consolidation, with a small number of large-scale manufacturers controlling the majority of the supply share, while domestic small and medium-sized traders and distributors play a crucial role in the distribution network.

Looking ahead, as Vietnam’s industrialization accelerates and demand for downstream rubber products continues to rise, the SBR industry is projected to sustain its steady expansion.

Import Market Overview

Vietnam’s imports of styrene-butadiene rubber continue to expand, with a relatively rapid growth rate.

According to CRI analysis, Vietnam’s import market for Styrene-Butadiene Rubber (SBR) has exhibited a trend of steady growth in recent years, driven primarily by increasing domestic demand from the tire, automotive parts, and industrial products manufacturing sectors. Due to limited domestic synthetic rubber production capacity, domestic output struggles to fully satisfy the downstream industry’s demand for high-quality styrene-butadiene rubber; consequently, imports serve as the primary supplementary channel for the market.

According to CRI statistics, approximately 425 buyers in Vietnam imported styrene-butadiene rubber in 2024, totaling US$ 352 million, an increased of 15.7%. In 2025, Vietnam’s total Styrene-Butadiene Rubber imports reached US$ 442 million, an increased of 25.5% compare to 2024.

South Korea and China are Vietnam’s top two sources for styrene-butadiene rubber imports.

According to CRI analysis, South Korea and China were the top two sources of Vietnam’s styrene-butadiene rubber imports, accounting for approximately 36.3% and 30.7% of total imports respectively in 2025.

CRI predicts that with the continued expansion of Vietnam’s automotive industry and infrastructure development, demand for styrene-butadiene rubber imports is expected to maintain steady growth..

Overview of Foreign Investment in Vietnam’s Styrene-Butadiene Rubber Industry

Investment Background

Against the backdrop of a global supply chain reshuffle, the dividends of regional trade agreements (such as RCEP, CPTPP, and EVFTA), and the expansion of its domestic processing and manufacturing sectors, Vietnam is actively seeking to attract Foreign Direct Investment (FDI)—specifically aiming to introduce technology, capital, and managerial expertise into its manufacturing industry.

Vietnam’s automotive, tire, and industrial rubber industries are developing rapidly, creating a potential market for the production of rubber raw materials such as styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) and its processed products.

Investment Advantages

1. Political stability and rapid economic development. The Vietnamese government has strong governing capabilities, consistent policies, and a focus on economic development and improving people’s livelihoods.

2. Relatively low labor costs.

3. Strategically located in the eastern part of the Indochina Peninsula, with a 3,260-kilometer coastline and numerous ports, transportation is convenient.
