Rubber Additives Market Opportunities: Adoption of green technology and high-performance rubbers


The rubber additives market is projected to reach USD 9.3 billion by 2026, at a CAGR of 3.5% from USD 7.8 billion in 2021. Rubber is a polymer, which is primarily categorized as natural and synthetic rubber. Natural rubber is obtained from certain trees that are found particularly in the tropical areas. On the other hand, synthetic rubber is obtained by the by-products of petroleum refining. To meet the specific requirements of end-use industries, the rubber has to be treated with chemicals to give it the desired properties. Thus, rubber additives are used to improve properties of the rubber. Rubber is processed using various additives to make it suitable to be used for various applications such as automobile, rubber mats, conveyor belts, and others.

According to the report of IARC (International Agency on Research for Cancer), rubber manufacturing industry has proven to be a great contributor towards air pollution. This industry basically adds unwanted latex vapours into the air during the process of heating and forming latex sheets. Hence, manufacturers, with the help of green chemistry, are developing methods for the utilization of safer chemicals which can be easily disposed of. The notable techniques include dry vacuuming is used to prevent the spreading of spilled chemicals; the recycling of wastewater must be done. Other techniques are chemical recovery methods like pyrolysis, devulcanization, and the production of reclaimed rubber.

Tire is estimated to be the largest application of rubber additives market in 2020.

Rubber is the primary raw material used in the production of tires. Several additives are used to attain the desired properties of rubber. Rubber additives are used in tires to provide specific characteristics such as high friction for racing tires and high mileage for passenger car tires. The growing automotive industry in Asia-Pacific demands processed tires to meet the demand of the customers. The stringent environmental norms in Europe demand the use of high-tech rubber for various applications. Therefore, rubber is processed using additives to attain the desired properties of heat resistance, friction, mechanical stress, and others. The rising global motor vehicle production is the key factor driving the market for rubber additives.

Asia Pacific is expected to be the largest rubber additives market during the forecast period, in terms of value.

Asia Pacific is the fastest-growing region in rubber additives market owing to rapid economic growth in the region. The increased demand for superior quality processed rubber from the automotive industry is driving the market for rubber additives in the region. The growing population coupled with the increasing purchasing power of consumers is boosting the demand for automobiles in the region. This in turn drives the market for rubber additives as they are required to enhance the properties of rubber which is used to manufacture automotive tires.

The key market players profiled in the report Arkema S.A.(France), Lanxess AG (Germany), BASF SE (Germany), Solvay S.A. (Belgium), Sinopec Corporation (China), R.T. Vanderbilt Holding Company, Inc. (US), Emery Oleochemicals (US), Behn Meyer Group (Germany), Toray Industries, Inc. (Japan), and Sumitomo Chemical (Japan). They have adopted strategies such as and new product launch, acquisition, and collaboration in order to gain an advantage over their competitors
