COVID-19 Impact
The industrial rubber products market was affected by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, due to the strict lockdown guidelines. The lockdown enforced the closure of non-essential activities, owing to which there was a supply disruption of raw materials. Moreover, due to delays in the farming operation resulted in the decline of natural rubber production. Also, production and consumption were adversely affected by it. According to the International Rubber Study Group (IRSG), in the year 2020, there was a decline in the production of rubber by -4.9% and the demand for rubber declined by -6.5%. However, due to the proactiveness of the countries and the gradual opening of lockdowns, the situation was controlled. As a result, the industrial rubber products market was not as adversely affected as it was affected in 2020. It is anticipated that by mid-2022 the effect of COVID-19 will be curbed out and this would lead the market situation back to normalcy as it was before the COVID-19 pandemic.
Industrial Rubber Products Market Segment Analysis – By Type
The synthetic rubber segment held the largest share in the industrial rubber products market in 2020. Synthetic rubber has its application across industries where it is used in various parts and components. Synthetic rubber is preferred over natural rubber, due to its better abrasion resistance, as well as it has superior resistance to heat. The advantage of synthetic rubber is that in comparison with natural rubber, they are available in different variants. For instance, according to the International Rubber Study Group, synthetic rubber is available in over 200 variants with its own constituents and qualities. From the synthetic rubber variants, the demand for nitrile rubber (NBR) is widely used in various industries, because its versatility and reliability make it a good choice for the general-purpose application. As a result, the demand for synthetic rubber can be seen in almost every core industry, which contributes to increased business growth, and this is leading towards the growth of the industrial rubber products market.

Industrial Rubber Products Market Segment Analysis – By Application
The tire segment held the largest share in the industrial rubber products market in 2020 and is growing at a CAGR of 6.8% during 2021-2026. The growth of the automotive industry has resulted in an increased demand for tires. Tyes consists of about 19% of natural rubber and about 24% of synthetic rubber. Industrial rubber is preferred over other materials because it has the power to hold on the grip and stay smooth on wet roads. Rubber elastomers are used in tire manufacturing. The most commonly used elastomers in tire compounds are styrene-butadiene rubber, natural polyisoprene rubber, natural polyisoprene rubber, butyl rubber, and ethylene-propylene rubber. As a result, there will be overall growth in the industrial rubber products market in the projected period.
Industrial Rubber Products Market Segment Analysis – By End-Use Industry
The automotive segment held the largest share in the industrial rubber products market in 2020 and is growing at a CAGR of 7% during 2021-2026. Industrial rubber is used in the components and parts for the manufacturing of vehicles. Due to its flexibility and durability, it helps in abrasion resistance, high tear strength, chemical and grease resistance, hot and cold temperature sustainability, high tear strength, and ozone resistance. According to the European Automotive Manufacturers Association (ACEA), passenger car registration in the European Union increased by 10.4% in June 2021, compared with June 2020, an increase of 12.4% year on year to 1,85,574 units. As a result, of this, there has been an increase in the demand for industrial rubber, and also this will lead towards the growth of the industrial rubber products market in the projected period.
Industrial Rubber Products Market Segment Analysis – By Geography
The Asia-Pacific region held the largest share in the industrial rubber products market in 2020 up to 46%. There has been an increase in the production of automobiles, construction activities, the textile industry, food, and beverages industry across the Asia-Pacific, which is leading to the growth of the industrial rubber products market. According to the International Rubber Study Group (IRSG), Asia-Pacific is the largest consumer of natural rubber, and synthetic rubber as well, 77% of the world’s synthetic rubber and 60% of the world’s natural rubber. According to OrganisationInternationale des Constructeursd’Automobiles(OICA), in China, the production of Heavy trucks was 21,30,880 units in 2018 and increased to 22,17,847 units in 2019, with a growth of 4.1% compared by 2018. Moreover, in Malaysia, the production of passenger cars was 5,20,526 units in 2018 which increased to 5,34,115 units in 2019, with a growth of 2.6% compared to 2018. Thus, the automotive sector and tire manufacturing is the reason behind the growth of the industrial rubber products market in the Asia-Pacific region and is expected to grow in the future also.
Industrial Rubber Products Market Drivers
Rapid Development in the Construction Industry
There is an increasing demand for industrial rubber in the construction industry because the use of industrial rubber in construction makes sure the structure becomes stronger. Across the globe, there has been an increase in the construction of residential buildings, commercial buildings, and industrial buildings. According to, European Construction Industry Federation (FIEC), in 2018 the investment done for construction in European Union countries was about US$1,447 billion Vs and in 2019 the investment was about US$1529 billion, with an increase of 5.7% in investment. According to Associated General Contractors of America (AGC), in Feb 2018 investment ofUS$1.30 trillion was done in the USA and in Feb 2019 it increased to US$1.32 trillion there was approximately US$1.4 trillion was done, with an increase of 1.1% compared to 2018. This shows, as the demand for construction is increasing, it is also leading towards the growth of the industrial rubber products market.
