The global rubber chemicals market was valued at $5.4 billion in 2022, and is projected to reach $8.4 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 4.5% from 2023 to 2032.
Rubber chemicals are a group of chemicals and additives used in the production and processing of rubber materials. These chemicals have various functions and are essential for achieving desired properties in rubber products, including elasticity, durability, strength, and resistance to environmental factors.
Surge in population base has led to rapid urbanization in both developed and developing economies such as the U.S., China, and India. This has increased government spending on the building & construction sector to develop various upcoming infrastructure projects. For instance, according to a report published by the National Investment Promotion and Facilitation Agency, infrastructure activities accounted for 13% share of the total foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows in 2021. Furthermore, rapid development of water supply, sanitation, urban transport, schools, and healthcare aid in the growth of the building & construction sector. The construction and infrastructure sectors use rubber products such as conveyor belts, seals, and insulation materials. The growth of infrastructure projects, including roads, bridges, and buildings, drives the demand for rubber products and, consequently, rubber chemicals. These factors are anticipated to fuel the demand for rubber chemicals in the growing building & construction sector.
Trade disputes and tariff changes between countries disrupt the flow of rubber chemicals and rubber products across borders. Uncertainty in global trade can impact market dynamics. The development of alternative materials, such as synthetic rubbers, thermoplastic elastomers, and bio-based materials, poses a threat to the traditional rubber chemicals market. Manufacturers of rubber products and rubber chemicals face product liability claims in cases of product failures, which result in legal and financial challenges. These factors restrain the growth of Rubber chemicals in the market.
Factors such as increase in disposable income, technological upgrades, and rise in original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) have led the automotive sector to witness significant growth. For instance, according to a report published by India Brands Equity Foundation, domestic automobile production increased by a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.36% from 2016 to 20 with 26.36 million vehicles being manufactured in India in 2020.
Electric vehicles (EVs) and autonomous vehicles often require specialized rubber compounds to meet unique performance and durability requirements. This shift in the automotive industry creates opportunities for rubber chemical suppliers. In addition, the continued growth of the automotive industry, including the shift toward electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid vehicles, presents opportunities for specialized rubber compounds and chemicals used in tires and other automotive components. These factors together are anticipated to foster the growth of the composites market during the forecast period.
The rubber chemicals market is segmented into type, application, and region. By type, it is categorized into anti-degradants, accelerators, rubber flame retardants, processing aids, and others. By application, it is segregated into tire application and non-tire application. Region-wise, the market is studied across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.
