Global synthetic rubber market is expected to have a CAGR of 7.3% during the forecast period 2016-2023. Synthetic rubber is made up of polymerization of petro chemical products. The global demand of synthetic rubber is due to increase in demand mainly in automotive industry. Synthetic rubber has End number of applications such as automotive and industrial goods. The application of synthetic rubber in the manufacturing tyres of cars and commercial vehicles such as trucks etc. are driving the global synthetic market. Synthetic rubber is an artificial elastomer which is a polymer developed as a replacement to traditional rubber.
Consumers are changing their preference from natural rubber to synthetic rubber as the price fluctuation of natural rubber hinders the profit margin of manufacturers. Rising demand in automotive industry and rising footwear market are the factors driving for global synthetic rubber market. The increasing number of cars and commercial vehicles globally is expected to contribute to the growth of synthetic rubber market. Synthetic rubber is harmful for nature as it is not a bio degradable substance and pollute the environment very adversely. Government’s strict policy towards synthetic rubber and emergence of bio based feedstock acts as a restraints and hinders the growth of global synthetic rubber market.

- Rest of World
Asia pacific is the leader in global synthetic rubber market. China is the major country in this region. The growth of Asia pacific is due to increase in number of automobile and footwear industries. Increase in the population is also a major factor, as population drives the demand for synthetic rubber applications. Rest of the world shows a fast growth in this market due to present of rubber manufacturing units, footwear industries and population rises the global market in this region. North America is also a growing market due to industrialization and rising demand for rubber application drives the North America market for global synthetic rubber market. Europe market is sharing low market share in this region. The government regulations towards synthetic rubber acts as a hurdle in growth of Europe market. Though there are many automotive industry, but use of synthetic rubber in that region is limited.Synthetic Rubber market can be segmented into types and end user. The segment by types can be further sub-segmented into styrene butadiene, styrenic blockcopolymer,nitrile butadiene rubber/ acrylonitrile butadiene , ethylene-propylenediene, polyisoprene , chloroprene rubber and others. The end-user segments includes tires, industrial goods, footwear and others of which tires segment holds the largest market share.
