Synthetic Rubber Market is expected to witness a healthy growth during the forecast period (2020-2030).
Synthetic Rubber is a kind of elastic polymer mainly derived from petroleum byproducts. Synthetic Rubber possess various properties such as elasticity, oil resistant, durability, and excellent water repellant property which make them suitable for various end use industries such as construction, footwear, automotive & transportation, industrial, and others. Moreover, it is used for making polymer concrete for waterproofing, tires, hoses, conveyor belt covers, gaskets, tubes, and others.
As per our Analysis, some of the prominent market factors and trends identified in the Global Synthetic Rubber Market include rapid urbanization, growing demand for durable rubber, and continuous growth of automotive & transportation sector. Rising population along with the increasing per capita disposable income is estimated to drive the growth of the market during the assessment period (2016 to 2023). Growing middle class population combined with constant industrialization has resulted in the expansion of footwear sector, which in turn, is expected to propel the growth of the market. Increasing automotive production and sales across the globe has resulted in the demand for durable tires which is likely to fuel the growth of the market. Moreover, increasing sports events such as racing car tournaments as well as increasing research & development on the production of high quality tires and rubber is predicted to drive the market growth over the forecast period. Furthermore, increasing construction activities in the developed and developing nation is expected to drive the growth of the market. However, volatility in crude oil prices and increasing substitution of Synthetic Rubber by natural rubber are expected to hinder the market growth over the upcoming years.

Industry News:
In May 2020, researchers from Iowa State University revealed that they had discovered a new process that can significantly improve the durability of perovskite cells, which will boost the intake of solar panels. Perovskite models are already known for their low cost, but these are normally not so durable. But with this new research result, durability will not be an issue. The process includes glass and synthetic rubber chambers to surround the cells and then it includes three sets of international standard tests with temperature. It also follows methods where the test understands its high humidity resistance quality.
