A quarterly evaluation of the global rubber industry from raw materials to end use. From tensions in raw material supply and pricing, to shifting demand patterns in the tyre industry, we look at each segment in detail. This gives an in-depth understanding of the big picture.

The Rubber & Tyre Market Report provides short-term forecasts of supply and demand for natural rubber (NR) and synthetic rubber (SR), as well as short-term price forecasts for natural rubber. In this report, we cover the industry's major producing and consuming markets, to help inform your business decisions and maximize your opportunities going forward.

Scope

  • The Rubber & Tyre Market report delivers regular analysis and near-term forecasts for all aspects of the rubber industry, from production to end-use consumption. Published quarterly the report is split into three main sections, which evaluate the markets for natural rubber, synthetic rubber and downstream demand.
  • The report begins with an overview of the natural rubber industry, providing market-by-market assessments of supply & demand. The report provides a critical assessment and short-term outlook of NR production by major producing marker, alongside supply/demand balances and consumption by major consuming market. The section concludes with price projections for TSR20 and RSS3 over the next 12-18 months.
  • The next section provides an evaluation of key developments in the global synthetic rubber industry. It delivers detailed analysis of SR consumption by major market, supplemented by forecasts of production and consumption over the following 12-18 months. Our experts also evaluate industry trade flows, providing an overview of regional trade for monomers and SR, including import & export unit values for the major global markets.
  • The final section looks at the key drivers of global demand. It provides an update of the latest developments affecting the downstream rubber industry, including global macroeconomic prospects, automotive industry demand and their effect on the tyre industry by major region. This overview is supplemented by forecasts of vehicle sales, as well as tyre sales and production over the next 12 months.
  • The report is accompanied by an Executive Summary, outlining all the key points of the main report and a dataset with Supply & Demand, trade and price projections, delivered in Excel.
