The outbreak of Corona virus disease (COVID-19) has acted as a massive restraint on the rubber products manufacturing market in 2022 as supply chains were disrupted due to trade restrictions and consumption declined due to lockdowns imposed by governments globally. COVID-19 is an infectious disease with flu-like symptoms including fever, cough, and difficulty in breathing. The virus was first identified in 2019 in Wuhan, Hubei province of the People’s Republic of China and spread globally including Western Europe, North America and Asia. Steps by national governments to contain the transmission have resulted in halting of manufacturing activities and a decline in economic activity with countries entering a state of '‘lock down'’ and the outbreak had a negative impact on businesses throughout 2021 and into 2021. However, it is expected that the rubber products manufacturing market will recover from the shock across the forecast period as it is a '‘black swan'’ event and not related to ongoing or fundamental weaknesses in the market or the global economy. Computer simulation and 3D printing technology is expected to have a significant impact on the rubber product manufacturing industry. Increasing number of companies are adopting 3D technology to design and develop rubber products.

The synthetic rubber and fiber refer to artificial elastomers that are produced via the polymerization of a variety of petroleum-based monomers. The synthetic rubber and fibers have superior elastic properties and greater durability. The main types of synthetic rubber and fibers are synthetic fibers, styrene-butadiene rubber (sbr), polybutadiene (BR), ethylene propylene (EPDM), and other types of synthetic rubber and fibers. Synthetic fibers are man-made textile fibers, including those made from natural materials (such as rayon and acetate from cellulose or regenerated protein fibers from zein or casein) and fully synthetic fibers (such as nylon or acrylic fibers). The applications involved are non-tire automotive, footwear, tire, construction, and other applications. The distribution channels are offline and online. The global synthetic rubber and fibers market is segmented - 1) By Type: Synthetic Fibers, Styrene Butadiene Rubber (SBR), Polybutadiene (BR), Ethylene Propylene (EPDM), Other Synthetic Rubber and Fibers 2) By Application: Non-Tire Automotive, Footwear, Tire, Construction, Other Applications 3) By Distribution Channel: Offline, Online The global synthetic rubber and fibers market grew from $285.65 billion in 2022 to $307.6 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.7%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe. The synthetic rubber and fibers market is expected to grow to $403.27 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 7.0%. Technology is expected to be a continued driver of market growth during this period. Industries that involve technology, such as this one, benefited from this trend during this period. For example, technologies such as Green Tires, where 20–30% of a vehicle's fuel consumption is related to tire performance, took off during this period. Green tires offer wet grip, durability, and low rolling resistance, reducing fuel consumption by 5–7%. Thus, technological advances that enabled improved performance and reduced fuel consumption contributed to the market growth. Major companies in the synthetic rubber and fibers market include Sinopec Limited, Mitsubishi Chemical Holdings Corp, Exxon Mobil, Lotte Chemical Corp, Odebrecht Engenharia E Construcao Sa, Teijin Ltd., Asahi Kasei Corporation, SK Innovation Co, GS Caltex Corporation, and Lenzing AG. Rising geopolitical tensions had a negative impact on the synthetic rubber and fibers markets during the historic period. Repercussions of geopolitical tensions include sanctions on Russia, trade protectionism, and heightened military tensions in the Middle East. Many countries place trade restrictions, especially on imports, to boost local production. For instance, Brexit is likely to lead to more trade restrictions between the UK and other countries in Europe. The US is also implementing several trade restrictions, especially with China, to boost its local production. For instance, the US imposed tariffs on $550 billion worth of Chinese goods, including chemicals and plastics, as of January 2020. Continued violence and terrorism in the Middle East and other parts of the world are also expected to have a negative impact on the market. Many manufacturers have started to use more synthetic than natural rubber because falling crude oil prices have led to lower prices. Synthetic rubber prices dropped 15% in Europe and 5% in the USA in the second quarter compared to a year earlier. The synthetic rubber supply was consistent and more affordable than natural rubber during the studied period. According to estimates, European manufacturers now use 60% synthetic rubber and 40% natural rubber for manufacturing products associated with rubber.
