Natural Rubber Market Trends:

Increasing Demand from Various Industries

The extensive utilization of rubber in the automotive industry for manufacturing tires and seals, owing to its resistance to abrasion and adhesion to metals, is primarily driving the natural rubber market statistics. Moreover, the extensive product utilization for large construction projects, on account of its vibration dampening, high tensile strength, and tear resistance, is also stimulating the market growth. Besides this, the emerging popularity of rubber recycling processes for enhancing sustainability and reducing the pressure on rubber cultivation, is further augmenting the global market. For instance, Ralf Bohle GmbH, Pyrum Innovations AG, and TH Köln University have entered a collaborative partnership to develop new bicycle tires from old tires. Additionally, CEAT, Apollo Tyres, JK Tyre, and MRF, the four leading tyre makers in India, pledged US$ 130.5 Million to surge rubber plantation in Northeast and West Bengal as part of a five-year project being implemented by the Automotive Tyre Manufacturing Association (ATMA) and Rubber Board. The board aims to develop over 200,000 hectares in the states of Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, West Bengal, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, and Tripura.

Growing Product Adoption for Consumer Goods

The rising product usage in manufacturing clothes, pacifiers, toys, footwear, mattresses, industrial components, mats, etc., is augmenting the natural rubber market. Moreover, the shifting consumer preferences towards eco-friendly and sustainable variants are encouraging major companies to utilize innovative ethical sourcing of rubber and its derivatives, which is also catalyzing the global market. For example, an American tire manufacturer, The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, and Rubber-Cal, a supplier of rubber flooring and mats, entered a partnership for the development of a new line of rubber flooring and mats. The ReUz rubber flooring rolls and rubber tiles are prepared from discarded Goodyear tires, which consume less energy for production and can be colored easily, allowing for the alluring textured floor for use in fitness facilities.

Environmental Sustainability

The rising focus on responsible and sustainable sourcing of rubber, owing to the elevating social and environmental concerns, is positively influencing the market growth. In addition to this, the growing need for minimizing waste in the rubber industry and the elevating requirement for eco-friendly derivatives are also propelling the natural rubber market analysis. For instance, the BlackCycle project, which is funded by Horizon 2020 of the European Union, aims to develop and optimize a full value chain of reclaimed rubber from the end-of-life feedstocks, including tire waste and secondary raw materials (SRM) for the introduction of a new range of tires for trucks and passenger vehicles to be sold commercially. Moreover, in February 2024, the Indian Union government increased the share of sustainable development of the natural rubber sector scheme for the next two financial years (2024-26) by 23%, from Rs 576.41 Crore to Rs 708.69 Crore.
