The Global Chlorobutyl Rubber Market is subject to witness a substantial growth due to the superior product properties in comparison with natural rubber. The factors responsible for robust market growth include soaring demand form automotive and pharmaceutical sector. Chlorobutyl rubber is an essential element for the production of automobile tires.
Inner liner for tires are manufactured with the help of chlorobutyl rubber. In addition, increasing adoption of original equipment manufacturer (OEM) tires by automobile manufactures is predicted to fuel the market demand for chlorobutyl rubber in the upcoming years. Globally, the chlorobutyl rubber market is predicted to generate massive revenue in the forecast period, providing numerous opportunities for market players to invest in research and development of the chlorobutyl rubber.
Massive growth of automotive sector in BRICS economies such as Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa is considered as major driving factor for the expansion of chlorobutyl rubber market, in the recent years. Furthermore, high volatility in prices of natural rubber prices is leading to high-end demand for synthetic rubber. Superior physical and mechanical properties of synthetic rubber in comparison with natural rubber is propelling market demand further.
However, numerous laws & regulations by regional government authorities associated with excessive use of synthetic rubber is limiting market potential to a certain extent. In addition, lower sustainability of synthetic rubber compared to natural rubber and stringent laws against greenhouse gas emission such as isobutylene are expected to restrain market growth over the forecast period.
Use of chlorobutyl rubber offers advantages such as higher impermeability, cure versatility, better cure rate, cure compatibility, superior adhesion, and higher heat resistance. Additionally, early adoption of chlorobutyl rubber provides constant inflation pressure, longer life span, and heat stability for automobile tires. These factors are expected to drive the growth of market in the upcoming years. The chlorobutyl rubber is largely used during production of automobile tires.
