Natural Rubber Market Description

The global demand for natural rubber is predicted to grow at a CAGR of 4.2 percent and the production is set to touch 16.16 million MT by 2022, from the current level of 12.43 million MT. However, the natural rubber market had previously observed a drop due to a shortage of demand from major consumers such as China and the U.S. The automobile market is also anticipated to increase the demand for natural rubber production in Thailand and Indonesia. On the other hand, the natural rubber market in Malaysia is set to grow due to the rise in latex products such as condoms and gloves.

Asia is the dominant supplier of natural rubber due to a large yielding area. Top manufacturers of natural rubber are Sri Trang Agro, Southland Rubber, Thai Rubber Latex, Von Bundit, and Halcyon Agri. This report also incorporates various trade dynamics from countries such as Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia. Only 14 percent of natural rubber is consumed domestically in Thailand, but it continues to be one of the most suitable sourcing regions as the area provides good quality rubber with a sufficient supply and low costs.

Global Market Outlook on Natural Rubber

Global NR demand is projected to increase at a CAGR of 4 percent, and production is expected to be around ~16 million MT by 2022
Asia will continue to be the dominant supplier of NR due to the increase in yielding area and the average yield in top producing countries like Thailand, Malaysia, and India

Natural Rubber Demand Market Outlook

The automobile market is expected to drive NR demand in Thailand and Indonesia, while the Malaysian NR market is expected to grow along with the rise in latex products, such as gloves and condoms.

Natural Rubber Global Market Size

The NR market is expected to come out of the lackluster market sentiments, portrayed from 2014 to early 2016
This positive outlook would align with strong support from limited supply concerns, demand from automobiles, tires and latex sectors, and the positive macroeconomic factors, such as rebound in the Chinese manufacturing activity
The NR market had witnessed a decreasing trend from 2014 to early 2016, due to lack of support from downstream demand from major consumers, such as China, the US, etc.
Prices declined sharply to a 34 percent difference from January 2014 to January 2015
During the second half of 2016, the industry witnessed a rebound in market sentiments, leading to supply shortage and high prices
Major demand drivers, such as automobiles, tires, and latex sectors, are expected to witness an optimistic outlook, thereby providing a strong revival market support, in terms of rise in consumption trends
Price hikes from supply crunch and volatility in crude oil prices are expected to impact the market
This may support TOCOM market shares, rebound in Chinese manufacturing activities, firm boost from the downstream sectors, etc., as the year progresses

Natural Rubber Global Demand by Application

The major demand drivers, such as automobiles, tires and latex sectors, are expected to witness an optimistic outlook as 2017 progresses
The automobile production rise in developed regions, such as the US and Europe, and improved demand for passenger cars in India, China, Korea, etc., are expected to support the global NR demand
