Rubber Global Overview

It is very interesting to note the fact that in the history and the application of various materials, very few have made a large impact globally as natural and synthetic rubber. The source of the material stretches from plantations in Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia to factories on all continents. It is estimated that natural rubber accounts for only about 25% of the rubber used in industry. Synthetic rubber is the primary source of raw materials for many rubber products today.
When imports of natural rubber from the Far East were cut off during World War II, synthetic rubber became a precious commodity. Infact in the US, due to shortage of natural rubber, gasoline was rationed to discourage people from driving cars. Ultimately, the nation spent a lot on its rubber program. Today, the US synthetic rubber industry reports more than $4.5 billion in annual shipments, and it exports substantial amounts of these materials. The production and sales of rubber-based products constitute major market opportunities.

World rubber supply

Major producing countries of natural rubber are Malaysia, Indonesia, and Thailand. This is the reason why many of the large tire companies have vast holdings in South East Asia. Small producers equally play an important role. Synthetic rubber is manufactured in various plants to different specifications around the globe. The division between the two source of rubber is about 40 percent for natural and 60 percent for synthetic on a global basis and it is not expected to change much in the coming years.

World rubber demand

Demand for natural rubber is always greater than synthetic rubber because it is considered superior to synthetic rubber. As a result of its high quality, natural rubber is the preferred choice when making surgical gloves and drapes, contraceptives, shoe soles, nipples on baby bottles, rubber bands, even carpet backing, in radial tires and in blends with various synthetic elastomers, where its use improves weathering qualities.

The demand for synthetic rubber is aggravated by increasing growth for non-tire products, rising motor vehicle production, and stable pricing. Infact, the demand for non-tire rubber is expected to outpace world economic growth due to growth in industrialization levels in developing regions of the world. According to a recent estimate, world tire demand is projected to expand 2.6% every year through 2006 to 1.3 billion units, with OEM tire demand growth by strong gains in the global motor vehicle industry, and this requires a boost in the replacement needs by a steadily rising global motor vehicle park.

World rubber market

The future of the rubber industry is tied to the global economy. The consumption of rubber worldwide during the period 1993-2003 was between 3.5 and 4.0% annually and was in line with the increase of world GDP. The growth rate for rubber should be more than those for motor vehicle production and motor vehicle registration in the coming years. Non-tire applications account for the majority of usage of rubber at 52 to 54 percent of the total, with little change expected. There are and will be numerous applications in various sectors like:
Automotive: belts, hoses, gaskets, moldings
Industrial : adhesives, padding, belting, vibration dampening, wire sheathing
Consumer : toys, door moldings
Construction : roofing, sealants, moldings
The outlook is very bright for midrange specialty elastomers, such as ethylene-propylene and nitrile.

World rubber consumption and production


According to a recent estimate, world rubber consumption is expected to grow 3.8% annually through 2006 to 21.1 million metric tons. This pace is significantly very high than that seen between 1996 and 2001. In 2003, the world’s total production of rubber was 7.9 million tons. The Asian countries' production was 6.76 million tons, which was about 85% of the total world’s produce. The topmost rubber producing countries in the world are Thailand, Indonesia and India. The total rubber consumption worldwide in 2003 was 7.89 million tons which also included synthetic rubber consumption of 1.13 million tons. This was about 14% of the total consumption. The consumption of natural rubber is largely contributed by the automobile industry and the transportation sector. Various reputed tyres and tubes producing companies require lakhs of tons of natural rubber annually. The leading country in rubber consumption is China. It consumed 1215000 tons of rubber consumed during 2001. India ranks at the fourth position with the consumption of rubber at 631000 tons in 2001 after USA and Japan.
