Germany Ceresana company recently released a research report, the global synthetic rubber revenue in 2020 will rise to approximately $ 56 billion. By far the most important type of synthetic rubber is styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), 2012 years of processing capacity exceeds 5.4 million tons; second important synthetic rubber butadiene rubber (BR), accounting for the global market in 2012 size of a quarter.
The two main application areas of rubber tire production, accounting for about 70% of consumption. Other more important synthetic rubbers include nitrile rubber (NBR), butyl rubber (IIR), ethylene propylene diene monomer rubber (EPDM), chloroprene rubber (CR) and polyisoprene rubber (IR). Among them, nitrile rubber for oil, fat and oil is highly resistant to patience, and more for the production of hoses, cogs, belts, gaskets and molded parts and other industrial products, EPDM rubber is mainly used for processing into car gaskets, hoses and cables.
The study reported that in 2012 Asia-Pacific synthetic rubber consumption accounts for about half of the total global production of about 47%; North America ranked second, followed by Western Europe and Eastern European countries.
Ceresana forecasts Asia-Pacific region will continue to gain market share, it is expected that by 2020, the demand for individual product categories will grow by 2.0% per year 7.7%. One of the most influential factors in the automotive industry as well as the demand for industrial products and construction materials.
