Rubber Additives Market Analysis and Latest Trends
Rubber additives are chemicals or substances that are added to rubber in order to enhance its performance and physical properties. These additives are typically added during the processing of rubber materials and are used to improve the overall quality of rubber products. Rubber additives can help to increase the durability, elasticity, and strength of rubber, as well as improve its resistance to heat, wear, and aging.
According to the new market research report “Rubber Additives Market with Covid-19 Impact Analysis, by Type (Antidegradants, Accelerators), Application (Tire and Non-Tire), and Region (Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Middle East & Africa, South America) — Global Forecast to 2026”, published by MarketsandMarkets™, 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.
The rubber additives market is expected to witness significant growth during the forecast period. The global market is driven by the increasing demand for rubber products in various industries such as automotive, construction, and aerospace. With the growing utilization of rubber in the manufacturing of tires, conveyor belts, hoses, and other industrial products, the demand for rubber additives is also expected to increase.
Moreover, the rising focus on improving the performance and efficiency of rubber products is another factor contributing to the market growth. Rubber additives play a crucial role in enhancing the performance properties of rubber, such as increasing the tensile strength, reducing rolling resistance, and improving fuel efficiency. Additionally, the increasing emphasis on sustainability and environmental regulations is driving the demand for eco-friendly rubber additives, which is expected to further boost the market growth.
