As per IEA report, China is expected to maintain its leadership in electric vehicle (EV) sales through 2030, with around 80% market share, supported by competitive pricing and strong market momentum. Europe’s EV adoption is projected to reach close to 60%, while the United States sees a more modest increase to around 20% by 2030. In Southeast Asia, EV adoption is accelerating, with 1 in 4 cars and nearly 1 in 3 two- or three-wheelers expected to be electric by 2030.

Technological Drivers for Industrial Rubber in EVs

Emerging technologies create specialized requirements that must be addressed to ensure optimal operational efficiency. For instance, in electric vehicles, the use of microcellular rubber compounds helps in reducing the component's weight, which improves the EV range and overall energy efficiency. And Hydrogenated Nitrile Butadiene Rubber is used as it provides thermal and mechanical stability, ideal for EV powertrain components such as motor mounts, hoses, and inverters.

Also, electric motors and inverters require rubber components capable of withstanding high temperatures and absorbing vibrations. In electric vehicles, molded rubber components play a crucial role in protecting lithium-ion battery packs from water, dust, and mechanical shocks, ensuring IP rating compliance and enhancing battery lifespan. This makes them a key segment of the industrial rubber market in the growing EV sector.

The rapid global shift toward electric vehicles is significantly boosting demand for specialized industrial rubber. As EV penetration grows across China, Europe, the U.S., and Southeast Asia, industrial rubber components become critical for safety, durability, performance, and efficiency, making the EV sector a major driver of the global industrial rubber market.

Technology and Capacity Expansions in the Industrial Rubber Market

• In September 2025, Continental became the first tyre manufacturer to adopt LANXESS’s Vulkanox HS Scopeblue rubber additive, which is an ISCC PLUS-certified, more sustainable version of the established Vulkanox HS (TMQ). The additive is designed to protect rubber compounds during vulcanization by reducing the effects of oxygen and heat.
• In November 2025, ARLANXEO announced an investment to expand synthetic rubber production at its Triunfo plant in Brazil by nearly 25%. The expansion, expected to be fully operational by 2027, aims to strengthen the local supply of polybutadiene and other synthetic rubbers for Latin American and international markets, in response to rising demand for high-performance elastomers used in automotive components and tires.
• In October 2025, Toyo Tire introduced its THiiiNK technological framework, which focuses on nanoscale rubber material design. Under this initiative, the company is developing the Open Country A/T III EV tire, incorporating an AeroWing sidewall design to reduce wind drag and improve efficiency for electric trucks and SUVs. The framework also applies Nano Balance Technology to develop rubber compounds that balance lower rolling resistance with improved wear resistance to meet the performance requirements of electric vehicles.
