Introduction of the Synthetic Rubber Market Report

Synthetic rubber refers to an artificial elastomer synthesized from petroleum by-products and other minerals. The synthetic rubber has the property of undergoing elastic deformation under stress and can also return to its previous size without permanent deformation. Various synthetic rubbers including butadiene rubber, styrene-butadiene rubber, neoprene, the polysulfide rubbers, butyl rubber, and the silicones are used for making industrial goods.

Market Dynamic

Key Drivers and Emerging Trends

Increasing demand of synthetic rubbers in various industries including footwear, electronics, aerospace, and energy, and the growing use of synthetic rubber in automobiles primarily to reduce vehicle weight for fuel efficiency is expected to drive the growth of the synthetic rubber market size over the forecast period. In addition, synthetic rubbers offer advantages, such as better resistance to aging and weathering; higher thermal stability and resistance to oils, greases, and related compounds and superior flexibility at low temperatures as compared to natural rubbers. This is further expected to augment the growth of the market.

There has been a rapid demand of synthetic rubbers in the manufacturing of tire, tire components, and other automobile parts including door and window profiles, O-rings, gaskets, hoses, belts, matting, flooring, body sealing systems, transmission systems, automotive anti-vibration system, and fluid transfer systems among others. Moreover, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA), in 2019, electric cars registered 2.1 million sales globally with 40% year-on-year increase and accounted for 2.6% of the global car sales. This is expected to augment the growth of the synthetic rubber market share during the forecast period.

Restraint in the Synthetic Rubber Market

However, the disruption in the supply chain, low synthetic rubber production, and decline in end-use industries due to the outbreak of COVID 19 pandemic has adversely impacted the synthetic rubber market, which is expected to limit the growth of the market over the forecast period. Moreover, synthetic rubber is non-biodegradable because it consists of inorganic materials, this may further hamper the market growth.

Type – Segment Analysis

Based on the type, styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) segment is expected to account for a prominent share in the market owing to its various advantageous features including abrasion resistance, perfect impact strength, good resilience, high tensile strength, low rolling resistance, high traction during braking, and low abrasion among others. Additionally, styrene butadiene rubber is used in a wide range of application that includes tires and tire products, automotive parts, lightweight vehicles tires, hoses, belts, gaskets, seals, roll covers, coated fabrics, and electrical wire insulation. Moreover, SBR is significantly used in footwear manufacturing for rubber sole compounds owing to its abrasion and flex resistance, hardness, traction, shape retention. These factors are expected to propel the market growth.

Application – Segment Analysis

Based on the application, tire and tire component application is expected to hold a notable market share over the forecast period. This can be attributed to the greater durability and longevity; high resistance to damage and degradation from chemicals; high and low temperature, ozone, sunlight, and weathering resistance properties of synthetic rubber. Moreover, according to the U.S. tire manufacturers association, butadiene rubber and styrene butadiene rubber are the two main synthetic rubber polymers that are used in tire manufacturing owing to their rolling resistance, wear and traction properties.
