The global Rubber Mulch Market size is valued at USD 623.9 million in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 981.7 million by 2032, registering a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.83% over the forecast period.
The rubber mulch market is witnessing strong growth driven by increasing adoption as a sustainable and durable alternative to traditional organic mulches in landscaping, playgrounds, sports fields, and garden applications.

North America dominates the market with high awareness of recycling benefits, widespread use in landscaping and playground safety surfacing, and supportive environmental policies promoting tire recycling. Europe is also growing steadily with stricter waste management regulations and playground safety standards. Asia-Pacific is emerging as tyre recycling initiatives expand, although market penetration remains lower due to limited awareness and higher initial costs compared to organic mulches. Challenges include public concerns over potential chemical leaching from recycled rubber, higher upfront costs, and regulatory restrictions in certain municipalities. Companies are focusing on developing non-toxic, colour-stable rubber mulch products, expanding processing capacities for tire recycling, and partnering with landscaping contractors and municipalities to promote adoption in playgrounds and public parks. Recent developments include manufacturers launching rubber mulch certified for playground impact safety, expanding colour options for landscaping aesthetics, and investing in advanced cleaning and processing technologies to ensure product purity and compliance.
