The rubber additives industry refers to the sector involved in the production and supply of various chemicals and materials used to enhance the performance and properties of rubber products. Rubber additives are substances that are mixed with rubber compounds during the manufacturing process to improve their processing, durability, flexibility, and other desirable characteristics. The rubber additives market size is estimated to be USD 7.8 billion in 2021 and is projected to reach USD 9.3 billion by 2026, at a CAGR of 3.5% between 2021 and 2026. Rubber is a polymer, which is primarily categorized as natural and synthetic rubber. Natural rubber is obtained from certain trees that are found particularly in the tropical areas. On the other hand, synthetic rubber is obtained by the by-products of petroleum refining. To meet the specific requirements of end-use industries, the rubber has to be treated with chemicals to give it the desired properties.

Antidegradants segment is projected to be the fastest-growing type for rubber additives market between 2021 and 2026.

The demand for antidegradants is fuelled by the expansion in its applications such as tire and industrial rubber products. These are used to improve the rubber’s resistance against the effects of sunlight, oxidation, heat, and mechanical stress. Moreover, they are used to improve the performance and lengthen the service life of rubber products. The market for accelerators is estimated to witness a decent growth due to their increased demand for vulcanizing rubber products. The others segment is estimated to witness slow growth during the forecast period. Processing aids, blowing agents, among others are used to improve the plasticity of rubber.

Non-tire is projected to be the fastest-growing application in rubber additives market between 2021 and 2026.

Non-tire applications of rubber additives include conveyor belts, footwear, floor tiles, hoses, gaskets, among others. To meet the demand of consumers for durable and high-quality footwear, the brands make use of the finest rubber. Thus, the rubber is processed using the additives to make it suitable to be used for various applications. Rubber is used in the production of conveyor belts, and it is processed using rubber additives to make it efficient for use. Manufacturers in the Asia-Pacific region are focusing on increasing the quality of the conveyor belts to match the quality standards of the European products. The demand is also expected to arise from the Eastern European countries because of the economic development in the region.
