Silver Market Share
Silver Market
Synthetic Rubber is classified as an elastic polymer from which rubber is obtained and manufactured on the basis of petrochemical raw material. It is mostly used with natural rubbers as a single polymer or in a mixture and is majorly produced synthetically by polymerization. It is predominantly used as the main constituent of the tires used on automobiles, airplanes, and bicycles. It finds a wide application scope in numerous end-use industries such as footwear, industrial, construction, automotive transportation, and others.
Some of the important factors that positively influence the growth of the Synthetic Rubber Market are increasing per capita disposable income, rising demand for lightweight footwear, and the growing construction industry. Rapid urbanization combined with rising per capita disposable income in various countries across the globe is estimated to drive the growth of the market during the forecast period. Moreover, rising demand for durable as well as oil-resistant rubber and increasing investment in construction activities is likely to propel the market growth over the estimated period, 2022 to 2030.

Market Segmentation:
The Global Synthetic Rubber Market is segmented into type, end use, and region. On the basis of region, the market is segmented into SBR, NBR, BR, EPDM, SBC, others. Other type include IR, IIR, and CR. Among them, SBR is the extensively used type of Synthetic Rubber in large quantities in automobile and heavy vehicle truck tires, on account of its abrasion resistant as well as heat resistant qualities. Moreover, SBR possess low temperature flexibility, excellent water resistance, and heat aging properties and can be utilized for bonded to a wide range of materials. SBR accounted for the largest market share among other type segment because of it usage in the manufacturing of tubes, gaskets, conveyor belt covers, lining rubber, hoses, belts, tires, and seals. SBR is followed by BR and SBC. Polybutadiene rubber (BR) is predicted to witness healthy growth during the forecast period on account of its wide utilization in end use industries such as building construction as well as footwear. On the basis of end use, the market is classified into construction, automotive transportation, industrial, footwear, and others.
