Synthetic Rubber Market

Global Synthetic Rubber Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report by Product (Styrene Butadiene Rubber (SBR), Polybutadiene (Br), Ethylene Propylene (EPDM), Nitrile Butadiene Rubber (NBR), Isoprene Rubber (IR), Chloroprene Rubber (CR), Butyl Rubber (IIR), Others) by End User (Tires, Industrial application, Electronics, Footwear, Household, Others) Forecast 2022-2028

Published: Jan 2020 | Report Code: OMR2026619 | Category : Plastics and Polymers | Delivery Format: /

The global synthetic rubber market is anticipated to grow at a substantial CAGR of 5.1% during the forecast period 2022-2028. Synthetic rubber is mainly used in the manufacturing of tires, footwear, wire, industrial rubber goods such as hoses and belts, and cable coverings, adhesives, and sporting goods. Moreover, it is used for airplane tires, surgical gloves, and many of the other products. However, the major demand for rubber is driven by the automobile sector as automobiles tires are made of synthetic rubber blended with natural rubber. The automotive industry is the largest end-user of synthetic rubber contributing to its production.  As per International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers, the global sale of vehicles in 2020 was 78.77 billion, and in 2021 all vehicles sale including commercial vehicles and passenger vehicles was 82.68 billion. 

Natural rubber accounted for 40% of the rubber used in tires, and the remaining 60% is fragmented among a number of synthetic rubbers. SBR, butyl, and butadiene rubbers are the primary synthetics used in tire construction. These rubbers are used in different tire parts, such as the carcass, tread, and sidewall. The prevalence of synthetic rubber will speed up by the adoption of it in among various end user industries, which in turn will drive the market growth.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Global Synthetic Rubber Market 

The COVID-19 pandemic has wreaked havoc on practically every industry in the region, including the automotive industry and electronics. The movement of raw material and manpower has slowed down which results in higher disruption of the synthetic rubber industry. Moreover, the COVID-19 pandemic caused the closure of assembly plants in the US, which affect manufacturing interruptions across the globe. In the first half of 2020, the prices of main synthetic rubber products have declined, due to the downstream production of the automobile industry, which results in a decline in the export volume of synthetic rubber products during the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Segmental Outlook 

The global synthetic rubber market is segmented on the basis of product, and end-user. Based on the product, the market is segmented into (SBR) , (BR), (EPDM), (NBR), (IR), (CR), (IIR), others. Based on the end-user, the market is further classified into tires, industrial application, electronics, footwear, household, and others. Based on product, the SBR segment is expected to grow rapidly during the forecast period. Owing to its identical properties and lower cost, it is largely used as a straight replacement for natural rubber. SBRs have a favorable strength, abrasion, wear, and other capabilities, which make is use among end-user industries.  

Global Synthetic Rubber Market Share by Product, 2021 (%)

Global Synthetic Rubber Market Share by Product

The Ethylene Propylene (EPMD) Segment is anticipated to Hold Prominent Share in the Global Synthetic Rubber Market 

EPDM rubber or Ethylene propylene diene monomer rubber is used in various end-user industries such as glass-run channels, radiators, garden and appliance hose, tubing, and others. It is considered to be the most water-resistant rubber among all types of rubber, EPDM rubber is widely used for manufacturing sheeting used at high temperatures. EPDM rubber is one of the most commonly used and fastest-growing synthetic rubbers having both general-purpose and specialty applications. Owing to its advanced features, such as Excellent resistance to heat, oxidation, ozone, and weather aging which led to increased demand for this rubber in automotive, construction, and mechanical goods applications.

Regional Outlooks

The global synthetic rubber market is further segmented based on geography including North America (the US, and Canada), Europe (Italy, Spain, Germany, France, and Others), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea and the Rest of the World (the Middle East &Africa, and Latin America).   North America is anticipated to hold the largest share in the global synthetic rubber market, this growth in the use of the industrial rubber can be attributed to the increasing population, and growing number of manufacturing industries in the region, which fueled the growth of the market. 

Global Synthetic Rubber Market Growth, by Region 2021-2028

Global Synthetic Rubber Market Growth, by Region

The Asia-Pacific Region Holds a Major Share in Global Synthetic Rubber Market 

Asia Pacific synthetic rubber market is estimated to grow with lucrative growth during the forecast period. The high adoption of synthetic rubber in various applications is one of the chief factors for the growth of the market in the region. China, India, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam are among the top producer of natural and synthetic rubber all across the globe. Moreover, the region caters to the significant application of synthetic rubber including tires. In addition, India and China is the major countries exporting synthetic rubber on a large scale. For instance, according to OEC.World, in2020 China’s share in exporting the synthetic rubber was 3.35% and exported $739 million synthetic rubber to other countries. 

Market Players Outlook

The major companies serving the global synthetic rubber market are Dow Chemical Co., Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., Reliance Industries Ltd., Saudi Basic Industries Corp. (SABIC), TSRC, Asahi Kasei Chemicals Corp., China Petrochemical Corp., and Denka Co. Ltd., and others. The market players are considerably contributing to the market growth by the adoption of various strategies including mergers and acquisitions, collaborations, funding, and new product launches, to stay competitive in the market. For instance, in May 2021, Trinseo announced that it has agreed to sell its synthetic rubber business based in Schkopau, Germany to Synthos S.A. with this agreement Trinseo provides a stronger balance sheet and growth opportunities to Synthos S.A.
