An increase in seaborne trade is expected to propel the growth of the rubber-tired gantry crane market going forward. A rubber-tired gantry crane is a moving gantry crane commonly used in seaports for loading, unloading, and stacking containers that allow easy handling of cargo in the seaborne trade. So, an increase in seaborne trade has increased the use of rubber-tired gantry cranes in seaports for easy handling of heavy containers used in shipping via water. For instance, according to the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), a Switzerland-based intergovernmental organization intended to promote the interests of developing states in world trade, around 4.4 billion tons of cargo were loaded into Asian ports in 2020. This represents more than 41.3% of the total cargo loaded into ports globally. Also, in 2020, Asian ports received around 7.0 billion tons of cargo, or 65.5% of all commodities discharged globally. Therefore, the increase in seaborne trade is driving the growth of the rubber-tired gantry crane market. Technological advancement is the key trend gaining popularity in the rubber-tired gantry crane market. Major companies operating in the rubber-tired gantry crane market are focused on developing technologically advanced products to strengthen their market position.

Rising geopolitical tensions had a negative impact on the synthetic rubber and fiber 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. For instance, according to a report by the Rubber World, the global synthetic rubber market is expected to reach 21.2 million metric tons by 2024.

Styrene-butadiene rubber is a synthetic rubber derived from the co-polymers styrene and butadiene. These materials have good abrasion resistance and good age stability when protected by additives. The main product types of styrene-butadiene rubber are emulsion type and solution type. Emulsions are mixtures composed of two or more liquid types, where one is like tiny droplets of a tiny or even ultramicroscopic size and is distributed among the others. The various applications involved are automotive tires, footwear, polymer modification, adhesives, and other applications. The distribution channels are direct/institutional sales, retail sales, and other channel sales. The styrene-butadiene rubber market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides styrene-butadiene rubber market statistics, including global market size, regional shares, competitors with a styrene-butadiene rubber market share, detailed styrene-butadiene rubber market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the styrene-butadiene rubber industry. This styrene-butadiene rubber market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry. The global styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) market size will grow from $35.7 billion in 2022 to $37.79 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8%. 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 global styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) market size is expected to grow from $46.55 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 5.4%. Increased use of Styrene-butadiene rubber in tire manufacturing has contributed to the growth of the SBR market. Styrene-butadiene rubber is one of the key elements in tire manufacturing. Styrene and butadiene monomers are a blend of styrene and butadiene monomers that have natural rubber-like properties. Along with that, they have unique characteristics such as abrasion resistance, perfect impact strength, good resilience, and high tensile strength, which permit them to be suitable for high-end tire manufacturing. Growing sales of automobiles in recent years have led to increased use of SBR by the automobile industry. According to TrueCar Inc., an automotive pricing and information website for new and used car buyers, indicated that in September 2020, sales of new vehicles reached 1,221,092 units. This has led to an increased demand for SBR from the end-use industry, thus driving the market. Safety hazards have always been a major challenge in the styrene-butadiene rubber industry. Due to its potential hazards, butadiene is not sold to customers directly, but it is used in the manufacture of polymers and elastomers. Butadiene is highly volatile and low-water soluble. Long-term exposure to butadiene is detrimental to human health. Exposure to high concentrations can result in damage to the central nervous system, blurred vision, nausea, headache, fatigue, decreased blood pressure, and coma. According to the International Agency for Research on Cancer, 1,3-Butadiene has been listed as a possible carcinogen. Major companies in the styrene-butadiene rubber industry are increasingly investing in artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance their decision-making abilities and thus drive profits. The companies in this industry gather huge amounts of raw data relating to the working of plants and other infrastructure through a large number of sensors placed across the production site. Using big data analytics, companies can detect sensible patterns, which can allow them to quickly react to unwanted changes or potential defects, thus saving costs. AI allows companies to make better operational decisions. Companies such as Zhongce Rubber Group and Yokohama Rubber have been increasingly investing in AI technology to have a centralized method of data management and support data integration across multiple applications.

Plastics and rubber products refer to any substance that is a component of one of the many semi- or synthetic solids used in the production of various goods, as well as any elastic substance made from the latex sap of trees-particularly those in the genus Hevea and genus Ficus—that can be vulcanized and finished into a range of goods. The main types of plastics and rubber products are rubber products and plastic products. Plastics are a broad category of synthetic or semi-synthetic compounds made primarily of polymers. Plastics can be shaped, stretched, or compressed into solid objects of diverse shapes due to their fluidity. The different sectors include automotive and transportation, electrical and electronics, medical, construction, and others.
