The neoprene market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.62 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand for durable elastomers in EVs, rising focus on sustainable synthetic rubber production, expansion of infrastructure development projects, growing use in medical and protective equipment, advancements in polymer processing technologies. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing demand for high-performance synthetic elastomers, rising use of neoprene in automotive and construction applications, growing focus on material durability and weather resistance, expansion of industrial adhesive and sealant usage, enhanced adoption of specialty rubber grades.

The growth of the construction industry is expected to propel the growth of the neoprene market going forward. The construction industry refers to the sector involved in creating, designing, and assembling buildings, infrastructure, and other physical structures. The construction industry is rising due to rapid urbanization, as increasing migration to cities drives demand for new housing, transportation networks, and modern infrastructure to support growing populations. Neoprene supports the construction industry by providing strong resistance to weather and chemicals, making it highly effective for sealing, insulation, and protection, which in turn increases the durability and longevity of structures. For instance, in February 2024, according to the Census Bureau, a US-based government agency, the construction industry reached a valuation of $1.97 trillion in 2023, representing a 7% growth (±1%) from $1.84 trillion in 2022. Therefore, the growth of the construction industry is driving the growth of the neoprene market.

Major companies operating in the neoprene market are focusing on expanding facilities to allow companies to adopt advanced technologies and modernize operations. Facility expansion refers to the process of enlarging or upgrading a business’s infrastructure and operations to accommodate growth or enhance productivity. For instance, in June 2025, Tynor Orthotics, an India-based manufacturer of orthopedic and fracture aids, launched its Ortech Textiles facility in Mohali, Punjab, for $36.1 million (₹300 crore). The Ortech facility, covering six acres, represents a major technological advancement for Tynor Orthotics.
