Synthetic Rubber Market Report Overview

The Global Synthetic Rubber Market report analyzes the market size, current trends, competitive landscape, and future market outlook. The demand for synthetic rubber is increasing due to the growing need for high-performance rubber products in various end-use industries such as automotive, and industrial. The market is witnessing a surge in demand from the Asia Pacific region due to rapid industrialization and increasing demand for synthetic rubber. The competitive rivalry is intensifying with major players such as ExxonMobil Chemical Company, Lanxess AG, The Dow Chemical Company, and others actively operating in the market.

Synthetic rubber, like natural rubber, has uses in the automotive industry for tires, door and window profiles, hoses, belts, matting, and flooring. Synthetic rubber, like other polymers, is made from various petroleum-based monomers. It is an artificial elastomer. About fifteen billion kilograms (thirty-three billion pounds) of rubbers are produced annually, and of that amount, two-thirds are synthetic. By application, the synthetic rubber market is segmented into footwear, industrial, automotive, construction, and other electrical & electronics, and healthcare.

Synthetic Rubber Market Dynamics and Trends

Rising demand from the automotive industry by application, especially from tires, is the major driver for market growth worldwide. Unlike in bus and truck radial tires, the percentage of SR used is higher in passenger car radials for speed and performance. Styrene-butadiene (SBR) and polybutadiene are the chief forms of SR used by the rubber industry. In recent years, growing sales of passenger cars have led to increased SR by the tire industry worldwide. In recent years, the growing ion of synthetic rubber ihas5,787,000 tons in 2017 holds a major share worldwide, but still, to meet its domestic demand, China has to import millions of tons of synthetic rubber every year.

Adding to this, synthetic rubber is used a great deal in printing on textiles, which is called rubber paste. In most cases, titanium dioxide is used with copolymerization and volatile matter in producing such synthetic rubber for textile use. Moreover, this kind of preparation can be considered to be pigment preparation based on titanium dioxide.

Environmental regulation and health hazards in the synthetic rubber manufacturing industry are the major restraints hindering the market's growth.

Synthetic Rubber Market Segment and Shares

Based on type, the market is classified into polybutadiene rubber (BR), ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM), styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), butyl rubber (IIR), styrene block copolymer (SBC), nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR), and others. Others include Polyisoprene Rubber and Polychloroprene Rubber.

By application, the synthetic rubber market is segmented into footwear, industrial, automotive, construction, and other electrical & electronics, and healthcare. The global synthetic rubber market size by application was by application worth USD YY million in 2018 and is estimated to reach USD YY million by 2026, at a CAGR of YY% during the forecast period.

In automotive, the two main synthetic rubber polymers used in tire manufacturing are butadiene rubber and styrene-butadiene rubber. These rubber polymers' physical and chemical properties determine the performance of each component in the tire as these rubber polymers' physical and chemical properties, wear, and traction. Researchers are focusing on new synthetic rubber. For instance, In April 2019, A new type of synthetic rubber has been developed by researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute that is said to be 30-5researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute developed a% less abrasive than natural Asia Pacific synthetic rubber market size was worth USD YY million in 2018 and is estimated to reach USD YY million by 2026, at a CAGR of YY% during the forecast period. Asia Pacific is expected to grow with a high CAGR rate over the forecast period due to rapid industrialization and increasing demand from end-users, especially in the automotive tire industry. China and India are expected to hold major market share in production, exports, import, and consumers of synthetic rubber in the Asia Pacific. Manufacturers are focusing on investing in synthetic rubbers due to huge demand from the automobile sector.

Indian companies invest in synthetic rubber, building on the recently added capacity of about 270,000 tons a year. ISRPL beginvestulsion Styrene Butadiene Rubber (ESBR) which is specifically used for matonsire sitonsnce early 2015. In 2016, the Reliance Group started a 150,000 ESBR plant. The combined output from the two companies approximately covers 270,000 t/y ESBR demand.
