Liquid synthetic rubber is an artificial polymer that remains in a liquid or semi-liquid state at room temperature. It is designed to replicate the properties of natural rubber while offering added benefits, such as enhanced chemical resistance, increased flexibility, and customization for a range of industrial uses.
The main types of liquid synthetic rubber include liquid isoprene, liquid butadiene, liquid styrene butadiene, and others. Liquid isoprene is a colorless liquid used as a monomer in synthetic rubber production and as a chemical intermediate in the manufacturing of various polymers and resins. These products are distributed through both online and offline channels for applications such as adhesives, industrial rubber manufacturing, tire production, polymer modification, and more.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
Tariffs have influenced the liquid synthetic rubber market by increasing costs of imported monomers, additives, and polymer processing equipment. Tire manufacturing and adhesive segments are most affected, especially in asia pacific and north america. Higher tariffs have impacted material pricing and supply agreements. At the same time, tariffs are supporting regional rubber synthesis facilities and localized polymer innovation.

The liquid synthetic rubber market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $26.57 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to electric vehicle production growth, advanced elastomer demand, lightweight material adoption, specialty rubber innovation, sustainability driven material shifts. Major trends in the forecast period include rising use in adhesives and sealants, growing demand in tire manufacturing, expansion of polymer modification applications, increased adoption in industrial rubber goods, focus on customizable rubber formulations.
The growth of the automobile sector is anticipated to drive the expansion of the liquid synthetic rubber market. The automobile sector encompasses the design, development, manufacture, marketing, and sale of motor vehicles, including cars, trucks, and motorcycles. This sector's growth is driven by increasing consumer demand, technological advancements, economic development, urbanization, and supportive government policies. Liquid synthetic rubber enhances the durability, performance, and safety of automotive components such as tires, seals, and hoses, thereby improving overall vehicle reliability and driving experience. For example, in May 2024, the European Automobile Manufacturers Association, a Belgium-based group representing the European Union automobile industry, reported a 13.7% increase in new car registrations in the EU from April 2023 to April 2024. Consequently, the growth of the automobile sector is expected to positively impact the liquid synthetic rubber market.
Leading companies in the liquid synthetic rubber market are increasingly forming strategic partnerships to reduce harmful volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions and broaden applications in coatings. Strategic partnerships involve companies leveraging each other's strengths and resources for mutual benefit. For instance, in February 2024, Lion Elastomers, a U.S.-based manufacturer of elastomeric polymers, collaborated with Emulco NV, a Belgium-based company specializing in emulsion products, to develop and launch a new line of eco-friendly emulsion products branded as Aquapol. These products are designed to minimize VOC emissions and offer improved performance and durability for applications such as roofing and anti-corrosion coatings. The emulsions cure at ambient temperatures using various technologies, enhancing their applicability across multiple industries.
In May 2023, the BORFLEX Group, a France-based manufacturer specializing in elastomer parts and composite materials, acquired the BOBET Group for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition highlights BORFLEX's dedication to broadening its product offerings and strengthening its position in the international rubber market. BOBET is a France-based company that focuses on the design and production of fabrics coated with natural or synthetic elastomers (synthetic rubber).
