Rubber Processing Chemicals Market Overview
Rubber processing chemicals are specialty chemicals used to improve the resistance of rubber to heat, oxidation, ozone, mechanical stress, and sunlight. Rubber processing chemicals enhance the properties of rubber to provide good resilience, hardness, abrasion resistance, and tensile strength. Some of the rubber processing chemicals include antidegradants, accelerators, processing aids, stabilizers, blowing agents, and adhesion promoters. The product is used in tire and non-tire applications; the tire application segment accounted for the larger market share in 2017 due to the growing demand in the transportation sector.
The growth of the global rubber processing chemicals market is driven by the rapidly expanding automotive industry across the globe. Rubber processing chemicals are increasingly being used in the automotive industry in tires, wiper blades, and belts and hoses. With the increase in automobile production, especially in developing nations such as India, China, and Thailand, the rubber processing chemicals market is likely to witness significant growth in the coming years. Global automotive production grew by approximately 2.5% in 2017 from 2016 and is expected to register a healthy CAGR during the review period.
The consumption of rubber processing chemicals is rising in the construction industry due to the increasing use in floor coverings, sealants, and roofing materials for heat and weather resistance and improved aesthetics. The growing construction industry with rising residential and commercial construction is likely to drive market growth during the forecast period.
The increasing use of rubber processing chemicals in footwear coupled with changing fashion trends and growing per capita income is likely to drive market growth during the review period. However, stringent environmental regulations to mitigate the harmful impact of rubber processing chemicals is likely to hamper market growth in the coming years.
