Meet Rising Demand for High-Quality Synthetic Rubber with BaleGuard and CrumbGuard

Demand for synthetic rubber is back on the rise, following the slowdown caused by the global COVID-19 pandemic. In fact, the global synthetic rubber market is projected to increase from USD 29.86 billion in 2022 to USD 41.73 billion by 2029.¹
 
 
Fortune Business Insights attributes this projected growth to increased R&D investments by several manufacturers, which is leading to the development of high-quality products with desirable properties including “recyclability, higher tensile strength, and resistance to swelling and abrasion”.¹ The aerospace, automotive and construction industries are expected to see a rapid growth in demand for synthetic rubber, while the tire and electronic industries will see continued growth.¹
