- South Africa: US$ 3705/MT
During the first quarter of 2025, the synthetic rubber prices in the USA reached 2472 USD/MT in March. In Q1 2025, synthetic rubber prices in the USA experienced moderate upward movement, primarily driven by steady demand from the automotive and construction sectors. Rising costs of feedstocks such as butadiene and styrene, along with persistent logistical challenges and elevated energy prices, pushed input costs higher. Domestic production remained stable, but cautious inventory management and limited import flexibility added to price firmness, especially in the latter half of the quarter.
During the first quarter of 2025, synthetic rubber prices in China reached 2218 USD/MT in March. Synthetic rubber prices in China fluctuated during Q1 2025, initially rising due to pre-Lunar New Year stockpiling and reduced production from environmental controls. However, post-holiday demand recovery was slower than expected, particularly in the automotive and footwear sectors, leading to softening prices. Weak feedstock trends and oversupply from high operating rates kept downward pressure on prices, although intermittent export activity provided limited support.
During the first quarter of 2025, the synthetic rubber prices in Germany reached 2928 USD/MT in March. In Germany, synthetic rubber prices showed a slight increase in Q1 2025, supported by stable demand from the automotive and industrial manufacturing sectors. Elevated energy costs and feedstock volatility contributed to higher production expenses. Supply chain disruptions across Europe, coupled with cautious restocking practices, impacted market stability. Environmental regulations also influenced production efficiency, contributing to marginal price gains throughout the quarter.
During the first quarter of 2025, the synthetic rubber prices in Brazil reached 2690 USD/MT in March. Brazil saw firm synthetic rubber pricing in Q1 2025, driven by robust demand from the automotive, footwear, and construction industries. Currency fluctuations and increased reliance on imports due to limited domestic output elevated input costs. Port delays and freight rate volatility affected supply chains, adding to price resilience. Despite inflationary pressures, end-user consumption remained steady, sustaining a bullish pricing trend through the quarter.
During the first quarter of 2025, the synthetic rubber prices in South Africa reached 3705 USD/MT in March. Synthetic rubber prices in South Africa rose modestly in Q1 2025, influenced by supply limitations and solid demand from the mining and automotive sectors. Import dependency heightened exposure to global price fluctuations, while port inefficiencies and transportation delays further constrained availability. Domestic production faced operational challenges due to power supply instability, increasing reliance on costlier imports. These factors collectively supported upward price movement.

Synthetic Rubber Industry Analysis
The global synthetic rubber market size reached USD 32.86 Billion in 2024. By 2033, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 44.39 Billion, at a projected CAGR of 3.23% during 2025-2033.
- There is a rise in the demand for synthetic rubber due to the thriving automotive industry. It is preferred in many different products such as tires for cars and motorcycles, hoses, belts, seats, O-rings, and gaskets. Tires often employ synthetic rubber because it is highly durable and resistant to a wide range of adverse weather conditions. Synthetic rubber gaskets and seals are also necessary to prevent leaks and guarantee the correct operation of many auto components including the engines, transmissions, and brake systems. These components are essential for preserving the efficiency, safety, and performance of automobiles. Furthermore, rapid urbanization, inflating income levels of individuals, and evolving lifestyles are contributing to an increase in the utilization of cars, which is thereby driving the need for synthetic rubber. The Society of Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM) stated that the production of vehicles was 2,84,34,742 during the fiscal year 2023-2024.
- Increasing environmental concerns and stringent regulations regarding emissions and fuel efficiency are prompting manufacturers to develop eco-friendly synthetic rubber alternatives. This shift towards sustainability is encouraging the utilization of bio-based or recycled synthetic rubber in numerous sectors.
- The synthetic rubber demand is further propelled by its utilization in roofing membranes in construction projects. It has excellent protection against weather, ultraviolet (UV) rays, and heat transfer. These properties make it a preferred choice for flat or low-slope roofs in commercial and residential buildings. Furthermore, this rubber is employed in expansion joint systems to deal with thermal expansion and contraction in concrete structures like bridges, highways, and parking decks. Rubber expansion joints absorb movement, decrease stress on concrete components, and prevent cracks or damage from temperature changes and seismic events. Synthetic rubber flooring and mats are further used in commercial and industrial facilities because it possesses slip-resistant features, shock-absorbing qualities, and long-lasting durability characteristics.
- The synthetic rubber market share is further reinforced by its employment in a wide range of consumer goods including footwear, sporting goods, and electronics. Consumer demand for these products drives the synthetic rubber market demand.

Product Description
Synthetic rubber is an elastomer that is produced by synthesizing it from petroleum and other minerals in manufacturing units in a man-made way. It is produced from extra polymers that is made from polyene monomers and is widely used as a replacement for natural rubber in diverse sectors requiring enhanced material. It is also resistant to solvents, oxygen, oils, and specific chemicals than natural rubber. It can handle a broader spectrum of temperatures like sunlight and snow and maintain its improved flexibility through long term.
It is also less dependent on natural resources and can be easily produced in huge quantities, which makes it a more reliable option for sectors that require consistent supply. In addition, it is cost-effective to create and provides enhanced longevity in comparison to natural rubber.
