About me
The natural rubber demand is increasing due to its characteristic properties such as adhesion to metals and resistance to abrasion which are making it suitable for manufacturing seals, tyres, etc. The properties of natural rubber such as high tensile strength, vibration dampening, and tear resistance are making it ideal and more preferred than synthetic rubber for its application in the automobile industry and in large constructions. The natural rubber market is mainly influenced by the increase in demand for natural rubber from the automobile industry. The footwear industry is also contributing to the increasing demand for natural rubber. Natural rubber is used in footwear manufacturing due to its properties such as durability, slip resistance, tensile resistance, etc. The footwear industry uses natural rubber to produce different types of footwear including casual, formal protective footwear. Hence, the increased applications of natural rubber are increasing the demand for natural rubber leading to the growth of the natural rubber market.
