Rising Scrutiny on Synthetic Rubber Imports
India is stepping up measures to protect its domestic nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) industry by initiating an anti-dumping investigation on imports from China, the European Union, Korea, and Russia. The move follows claims that these low-priced imports are harming local manufacturers. NBR is a key material in the automotive and oil and gas sectors due to its strong resistance to chemicals and extreme temperatures. The investigation highlights growing concerns over market imbalances caused by cheap imports, especially as India’s industrial demand for NBR continues to grow. Increased regulatory oversight could lead to future duties or restrictions, potentially reshaping sourcing strategies for manufacturers and supporting local production in a sector vital to multiple industrial applications. For example, in October 2024, India's Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR) initiated an anti-dumping investigation into imports of acrylonitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) from China, the European Union, Korea, and Russia. Apcotex Industries Ltd filed the application, alleging that these imports are causing material injury to the domestic NBR industry. NBR is widely used in the oil and gas sector and the automotive industry due to its chemical resistance and ability to withstand extreme temperatures.
Growing Demand from Automotive Applications
India’s passenger vehicle sales experienced strong growth in the latest fiscal cycle, indicating a steady rise in automotive manufacturing. This development is fueling demand for Nitrile Butadiene Rubber (NBR), a key material in critical vehicle components such as gaskets, fuel hoses, seals, and belts. NBR’s resistance to oil, fuel, and high temperatures makes it well-suited for the performance standards required in modern vehicles. As manufacturers focus on producing vehicles that can withstand harsh operating , the reliance on durable synthetic rubbers is expected to increase. The expanding automotive sector is creating consistent demand for high-quality NBR, pushing suppliers and domestic producers to scale operations. This shconditionsift is reinforcing NBR’s position as a preferred material in India’s vehicle production ecosystem. According to industry reports, in the fiscal year 2023-2024, the sales of passenger vehicles reached 4.22 Million Units, reflecting an 8.4% year-on-year growth compared to 3.89 million units in the fiscal year 2022-2023.
