Global Synthetic Rubber Market Research Report Information by Type [Styrene Butadiene Rubber (SBR), Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM), Butyl Rubber, Polyisoprene, Others], by End User (Construction, Automotive & Transportation, Medical, Others), and by Region (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, Middle East & Africa) Forecast till 2028
Industry Overview
The synthetic rubber market is expected to grow to USD 25,397.3 million, registering a steady CAGR of 4.15% during the forecast period. Synthetic rubber is an artificial polymer created by chemically processing petroleum derivatives. Unlike natural rubber from latex, it can be tailored for specific qualities such as high resistance to wear, temperature, and chemicals. It plays a crucial role in the automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing industries.
Synthetic rubber is one of the main materials without which the construction sector cannot work. It offers the use of the same durability and versatility in many applications, such as hoses, flooring, adhesives, gaskets, and waterproofing agents. Besides, construction machinery that is operating with the help of cranes, forklifts, and mixers also needs rubber-based tires and tracks in order to function. The advanced types, such as neoprene and sulfide rubber, can provide a customer with great resistance to weather, solvents, and aging. Due to the construction industry in emerging markets such as India and China being thriving, urbanization and disposable incomes are the factors that are leading to the global synthetic rubber market.
Major Company Development
In 2018, JSR Corporation held two really big events to use for the implementation of its expansion strategy. In September, JSR set up JSR Elastomer India Private Limited in Gurgaon, Haryana, which is the center of sales and marketing of synthetic rubbers and elastomer products in India, and is the company's latest solution for the Indian market. As the second move, JSR offshored JSR Trading Vietnam Co., Ltd in Hanoi through its wholly owned subsidiary, JSR Trading Co., Ltd in December.
