    Description

    This material is part of the free Environmental Performance in Construction (EPiC) Database. The EPiC Database contains embodied environmental flow coefficients for 250+ construction materials using a comprehensive hybrid life cycle inventory approach.Rubber is a highly elastic polymer (elastomer) that can be obtained naturally, or produced synthetically using oil-based production methods. It has a high tensile strength, resistance to fatigue and tearing, abrasion resistance and a high resilience/ability to return to its original shape and size. In addition to this, it has good insulative qualities and adheres well to itself and other materials.Natural rubber is harvested in the form of latex from the sap of rubber trees, which is refined and converted into rubber. Variations in quality can be observed in natural rubber, due to the geographical area, weather and soil conditions.In comparison with natural rubber, synthetic rubber is generally tolerant to a broader range of temperatures, is resistant to oil and grease, and ages well against weathering. Natural rubber is favoured for its high performance and low cost, which is not directly tied to the price of petroleum.

    Description

    The chemical building blocks of synthetic rubber are based on the crude petrol naphtha, which is obtained by distilling crude oil in a refinery. In so-called steam crackers, the naphtha is broken down into the various industry raw materials butadiene, isoprene and styrene using a great deal of energy. Following the outbreak of war in Ukraine in 2022, prices for crude oil, natural gas and electricity rose dramatically, leading to significant increases in raw material costs of up to 75 %. As the additional costs were passed on to customers, prices for synthetic rubber rose sharply. Although industry sales have increased by an average of 0.8% per year over the past five years, this growth is primarily due to the so-called base effect: In 2020, there was an exceptionally sharp drop in sales of 15.5% as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. The resulting low starting level significantly distorted the average growth of subsequent years upwards. Adjusted for inflation, sales are still more than 10% below the 2019 level, which highlights the ongoing headwind for the industry.The industry companies and important upstream sectors continue to suffer from high electricity and natural gas prices as well as considerable bureaucratic costs. According to the German Rubber Industry Association (WDK), raw material prices are still around 40% higher than in the years of high demand before the pandemic, which is impacting international competitiveness. A slight decline in sales of 0.2% to €1.5 billion is forecast for 2025, mainly because demand from industry, particularly from tyre manufacturing as the main sales market, remains weak. In addition, an escalation of the customs conflict with the USA could put further pressure on the industry and lead to a further drop in demand and higher declines in sales. The announced Europe-wide closures of steam cracker plants in 2025 could also mean that the supply of raw materials for industry companies will increasingly have to be covered by imports, which could create supply bottlenecks and dependencies.The future prospects for German synthetic rubber production are optimistic despite the current challenging market conditions. Industry companies reacted early to rising production costs by relocating low-margin standard products abroad over the past decade and significantly increasing resource efficiency at their domestic sites. In Germany, the leading companies in the sector are now consistently focussing on research, innovation and the production of speciality rubber and high-quality rubber compounds, which continues to give them a leading position internationally. According to the European industry association Cefic, a decisive advantage of the European chemical industry is its very good carbon footprint in an international comparison, meaning that a migration of production could jeopardise global climate protection. This realisation now also seems to be echoed by the EU Commission. As part of the so-called omnibus package, initial steps have been announced to relieve and strengthen European industrial locations. At the same time, major research projects at BASF and the Fraunhofer Institute are providing impetus for a more sustainable and climate-friendly production of synthetic rubber. If there is no trade conflict with the USA and the political representatives in Brussels and Berlin consistently implement their announcements, IBISWorld expects sales to grow by an average of 2.1% per year to 1.7 billion euros by 2030 and profit margins to remain stable at around 9%.

Description

As of June 2025, the average monthly global price of rubber was **** U.S. dollars per kilogram. The average annual price of natural rubber at the Singapore Commodity Exchange in 2024 was **** U.S. dollars per kilogram. Rubber as a commodity: many end uses Rubber is a widely used material, in both naturally and synthetically sourced forms. Companies use it in the manufacturing of tires and tubes, rubber gloves, latex condoms, erasers, in adhesives and coatings, nozzles, as elastic material in clothing, and more. Accordingly, rubber is an important commodity due to its numerous uses in everyday items.   Rubber prices and rubber producers As with other internationally traded commodities that have relatively low market prices, low rubber prices have a negative impact on the rubber producers themselves. The resulting issues of poverty for natural rubber producers has led to the creation of the Fair Rubber Association (FRA), a multi-stakeholder association that aims to improve the lives and working conditions of the primary producers by utilizing Fair Trade principles.
