The global styrene butadiene latex market is governed by regional market dynamics and demand from the largest end-use industries, namely coated paper manufacturing and carpet manufacturing industries in the respective regions. More information about the report is available online. 

These end-user industries accounted for more than 70% of the global styrene butadiene latex market in terms of volume in 2014. The market trends exhibited by these industries vary significantly among the developing and the developed regions. North America and Europe exhibit a declining trend, while Asia Pacific and Latin America are likely to witness robust demand in the near future. 

The paper processing segment holds the largest share of the global styrene butadiene latex market in terms of volume. The segment includes coated paper manufacturing, which accounted for around 40% of the global styrene butadiene latex market in terms of volume in 2014. Demand for styrene butadiene latex in fiber processing, particularly carpet manufacturing, was the second largest in terms of volume, accounting for around 35% of the market in 2014. 

The paper processing application segment has witnessed strong growth in Latin America and Asia Pacific, while it has declined significantly in North America and Europe. The fiber processing application segment, however, is expected to grow at a faster rate during the forecast period.
