Global rubber compound industry outlook
Styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) is used in various applications including shoe soles, tire treads, adhesives, polymer modification, and other durable products. SBR exhibits high durability since styrene, a sturdy and hard plastic is one of its key components. It is an alternative to natural rubber as it is not as expensive compared to other elastomers. The manufacturers also prefer SBR due to its high flexibility at low temperatures. The growing demand for SBR will be a key trend driving the growth of the rubber compounds market.
The high growth rate of the automobile industry primarily in the APAC region will further boost the growth of the rubber compound market. Countries in the APAC region such as India, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand are home to some of the major automobile manufacturers and rubber producers. With increasing automotive production in APAC, the demand for rubber compounds used for manufacturing tires will also grow. Thus, the growing automotive sector in APAC is driving the rubber compound market growth at a CAGR of 2% during the forecast period.
