Increase in the Usage of Synthetic Rubber as Opposed to Natural Rubber

Published: Jul 2024

The global synthetic rubber market is anticipated to grow at a substantial CAGR of 4.9% during the forecast period (2024-2031). The market growth is primarily driven by an increase in the usage of synthetic rubber as opposed to natural rubber for its compatibility with chemicals, greases, oils, heat, oxidizing agents, and other unfavorable situations. Another purpose of synthetic rubber arises from the detail of some of its properties such as abrasion and temperature resistance, making it the best choice for automotive industries. This type of carbon is relatively highly used especially in tires and other automobile parts. The elevating chemical industry and the world's speedy industrialization stimulate the demand for synthetic rubber in industrial operations such as rubber parts, anti-vibration, wipers, hoses, seals, and gaskets.
