Judging from the current distribution of styrene-butadiene latex production capacity in the world, Northeast Asia is still the main focus of styrene-butadiene latex production capacity, followed by Europe, North America, and the remaining regions have smaller SBR production capacity. The world's main consumption of styrene butadiene latex is also concentrated in the above areas, the main downstream is concentrated in the field of papermaking, carpet, asphalt modification and other fields. In recent years, with the slowdown in the downstream market, the production capacity of styrene-butadiene latex has also significantly decreased over the previous period. Coupled with the poor downstream conditions in recent years, the overall situation of latex manufacturers has started to decline, and the market trend is not very optimistic.

At present, China's butadiene-styrene latex production capacity is roughly estimated at around 1.75 million tons, but there is still a certain amount of imported latex into the domestic market. Although China's large-scale styrene-butadiene latex enterprises are mostly foreign-funded enterprises, due to the restrictions of the downstream market in the country and some technical factors, most manufacturers produce ordinary styrene-butadiene latex, and the domestic production of styrene-butadiene latex in some high-end applications Little or no production, still need to rely on imports.
