Rubber Additives Market Dynamics
Increasing demand for rubber in various end-user verticals is a major market driver for the respective market. Nonetheless, growing environmental awareness and stringent laws restrain the market's growth.
Increasing demand for rubber in various end-user verticals
The market for rubber additives is driven by the automotive industry's rising demand for the highest caliber processed rubber, as can be easily understood. The demand for cars is rising due to the expanding population and rising consumer spending power these need to improve the properties of rubber, which is used to make automotive tires, in turn, drives the market for rubber additives.
But there is also a significant increase in the demand for rubber additives in non-tire applications. Wipers, shoes, rubber goods, rubber mats, automotive body parts, insulation, conveyor belt, ts, and rubber insulation tapes are a few examples of non-tire applications for rubber additives. Additionally, the market for rubber additives is driven by the growing demand for high-quality rubber products. The Asia-Pacific region's developing countries, especially China and India, are rapidly industrializing, increasing the demand for rubber goods even further.
Growing environmental awareness and associated stringent laws with rubber additive usage
The International Agency on Research for Cancer report states that the rubber manufacturing industry has contributed significantly to air pollution. During the heating and formation of latex sheets, this industry essentially introduces unwanted latex fumes into the atmosphere. Further, numerous different chemicals are included in rubber formulations, with each one being added with a specific purpose in mind. There are numerous rules that rubber chemists must abide by because creating rubber compounds is such a special process. The European Union Medical Device Regulations (EUMDR), International Material Data System (IMDS), EPA, REACH, IPC 1752, Proposition 65, and other regulations are among the most important ones that have been put in place. As a result, the market for rubber additives is also restricted by the strict rules and regulations established by the government. The environment is also harmed by the emission of pollutants and gases released during rubber manufacture. As a result, any restrictions placed on this activity could impede market expansion.
COVID-19 Impact Analysis on Rubber Additives Market Growth
Like any other market, the global rubber additives market was negatively impacted by COVID-19's initial waves, but the pandemic's overall effect was only moderate. Rubber additive production has been hampered by the need for skilled labor, large-scale industrial reagents, and heavy machinery for the industrial-scale synthesis of rubber additives. Production was severely hampered during the pandemic by industry curfews and the need for social isolation. The COVID-19 pandemic's global lockdown also severely hampered the supply of raw materials needed to make rubber additives and finished goods. The demand-supply dynamics of the rubber additives market were severely impacted.
Since the automotive, construction and related industries use rubber additives most frequently. Lockdowns and a lack of access to raw materials in these industries decreased overall activity in these end-use sectors, decreasing market demand for chlorinated rubber. The global market for rubber additives has, however, grown incredibly since the restrictions were lifted. The anticipated growth of the automotive and tire industries in the post-COVID-19 environment further stimulates the market.
Rubber Additives Market Segment and Shares Analysis
The global rubber additives market is classified based on type, material, coating agents, application, end-user, and region.
The growing demand for automotive wheels and materials to drive rubber additives
Rubber additives are frequently utilized in the production of rubber and related goods. The global market for rubber additives has been driven by the rising demand for rubber in tire manufacturing in the automotive industry. China produces over 800,000 tonnes of natural rubber annually, making it one of the world's top producers. Rubber additives have a potential market in China because they treat both natural and synthetic rubber.
Further, China approved two projects involving sophisticated synthetic rubber. The "Technical License Contract for TBIR and Integrated Rubber" was formally signed by Shandong Yulong Petrochemical Co. Ltd. and the Petrochemical Research Institute of CNPC. Butadiene and isoprene are copolymers in the rubber known as TBIR. It is an artificial rubber that China has not yet industrialized. Rubber additives have a wide range of industrial applications, including high-performance tires, low-temperature parts, and sealing materials needed by the military industry.
