Rising Application of Rubber in Numerous Industries to Boost Market

The growing demand for tire and other automotive parts will simultaneously spur opportunities during the forecast period. The growing utilization of rubber in wide-ranging automotive products such as tires, crap tubes, adhesives, hoses, pipes, gaskets, and roll coverings will further enhance the scope of the market. Moreover, the increasing application in footwear, industrial goods, construction, textiles, and other consumer products will aid the expansion of the market. For instance, the use of latex offers substantial protection against water, chemicals, electricity, impact, and low temperatures. Additionally, its use in a variety of textiles, and consumer products, such as bands, protective covers, mats, and others will further foster the growth of the market.

Properties such as heat and abrasion resistance make rubber a highly useful and valuable raw material in various end-use industries. It is mostly used in manufacturing products such as tires, crap tubes, adhesives, hoses, gaskets, and roll coverings. The rising demand from the automotive industry for tire and non-tire applications is one of the key rubber industry trends. It is majorly used in the manufacturing of tires due to its strong properties, such as tear resistance and toughness. It also works under low-temperature conditions. It is a perfect material for the manufacturing of tires and hence, accounts for over 40% of the share in the overall tire composition. Additionally, properties, such as weather resistance, insulation property, and flexibility increase the usage in industrial applications including transmission belts, elevators, and non-flat belts.

Disturbed Supply Chain to Dwindle Business Amid Coronavirus

Rubber is dominantly used as a raw material in the automotive end-use industry for the production of a wide variety of products, such as tires, crap tubes, adhesives, hoses, pipes, gaskets, and roll coverings. The increasing demand for tire and non-tire automotive parts is expected to influence market growth.

The coronavirus incident has resulted in the shutdown of production facilities, and restrictions on transportation. The disruption in the supply and distribution can further limit the scope of the market. The major impacted countries include China, India, Germany, Italy, Brazil, and Canada. China is a major consumer of rubber. The constraint on export and import activities of industrial rubber goods and tires will act as an inhibiting factor for the development of the global market.
