Store - Rubber And Plastic

The global rubber and plastic industry has been growing steadily in recent years. This is due to the rising demand for these materials in a variety of industries, such as automotive, construction, and packaging. The increased use of rubber and plastic has also been driven by the advancement of technology, which has led to new applications for these materials. For instance, rubber is now being used in 3D printing, and plastic is being used in the production of solar panels. Despite this growth, the industry is facing some challenges. The high cost of raw materials, along with environmental concerns, are two major issues that are impacting the industry. In this blog post, we will take a look at the rubber and plastic industry, its key players, and its outlook for the future.

Overview of the Rubber and Plastic Industry

The industry is divided into two main sectors: the synthetic rubber sector and the plastics sector.

The synthetic rubber sector includes companies that produce synthetic rubber, which is used in tires, hoses, belts, and other applications. The plastics sector includes companies that produce plastic resins, which are used in a variety of applications including packaging, construction, and consumer goods.

The global demand for rubber and plastic products is expected to continue to grow in the coming years. This demand will be driven by population growth and economic development in emerging markets, as well as by replacement demand in developed markets.

The global rubber and plastic industry can also be segmented by material, product, and application.

Competitive landscape

The global rubber and plastic industry is highly fragmented, with the top 10 companies accounting for less than 20% of the total market share. Key players include Dow Chemical Company, ExxonMobil Corporation, BASF SE, DuPont de Nemours Inc., LyondellBasell Industries NV, SABIC (Saudi Basic Industries Corporation), Sinopec (China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation), China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC) and Mitsubishi Chemical Holdings Corporation.

Market Forecast

The global rubber and plastics industry is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 3.5% from 2021 to 2025, reaching a market size of $510 billion by 2025. The main drivers of this growth are expected to be the increasing demand for plastics in packaging, construction, and automotive applications, as well as the growing demand for rubber in tires and other industrial applications.

In terms of product segments, plastics are expected to be the fastest-growing segment of the rubber and plastics industry, followed by rubbers. Among plastic products, polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) are expected to be the fastest-growing types. In terms of rubber products, synthetic rubber is expected to be the fastest-growing type.

The automotive industry is the largest market for rubber and plastic products, accounting for 34% of total demand in 2018. The construction industry is the second largest market, accounting for 21% of demand. The packaging industry is the third largest market, accounting for 18% of demand.
