Rubber Conveyor Belts Market Research Report Information by Type (Light-Weight, Medium-Weight, and Heavy-Weight Conveyor Belts), by Application (Food, Mining, Construction, Airline, and Others), and by Region - Forecast till 2030

 Rubber Conveyor Belts Market Overview

A conveyor belt is engineered to provide excellent rip, tear, and impact resistance in many applications, such as hard rock mining (limestone, granite, trap rock and other aggregates) and recycling. A rubber conveyor belt is made up of an abrasion resistant material, which is a blend of neoprene, nitrile, and styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) and inserted with a cloth fabric. The styrene butadiene rubber provides better durability, whereas, the neoprene and nitrile rubbers conveyor belt provide excellent chemical resistance, which resist the degrading effects of several chemicals and other petroleum-based solvents. The cloth-inserted rubber conveyor belt is an ideal for applications in various industrial machines, industrial level pads, strips, and flaps.

The major key driving factors for the growth of this market are the growing investments in construction, food and beverage, and mining activities, globally, and the increasing use of rubber additives. The growing concerns over environmental impact of mining activities and the high initial investments needed for setting up a plant are some of the factors that are hindering the market growth. However, the increasing recycling, growing per capita disposable income in countries such as China and India, growing demand for eco-friendly conveyor belts with self-cleaning, and developing economies from emerging countries, such as India, Brazil, and Argentina, are providing growth opportunity.

The global rubber conveyor belts market has seen a significant growth during the forecast period. The technology advancements in conveyor systems such as the concept of green conveyor and smart conveyor belts and the rapid industrialization are a few factors that are also contributing in the growth of this market.

Competition among rubber conveyor belts manufacturers and the government regulations to reduce carbon footprints, has encouraged the manufacturers to design the system as per the government regulations across different regions, which is considered as one of the key factors responsible for the growth of this market.
