Rubber prices and producers worldwide Global rubber prices have experienced significant fluctuations in the 21st century, peaking in 2011 due to a higher demand from emerging markets, and supply constraints. These prices gradually recovered due to an increase in rubber tree cultivation and a slowdown in global demand. The increase in synthetic rubber production in China and the United States over the last two decades has similarly helped facilitate the stabilization of the global price of natural rubber through a supply increase. In 2023, Thailand was the largest natural rubber exporter in the world, with an export value totaling 3.6 billion U.S. dollars. This accounted for roughly 30 percent of the global value of natural rubber exports in 2023. The second-largest exporter in 2023 was Indonesia, which exported 2.5 billion U.S. dollars of natural rubber.

Supply constraints of rubber Accounting for about half of global rubber production, natural rubber is an agricultural product produced from rubber trees in Southeast Asia, home to the most natural rubber exporting countries worldwide. Being an agricultural product, the trees take numerous years to mature before being harvested, a process dependent on climate and weather conditions.
The amount of replanted rubber trees in Thailand, the largest exporter of natural rubber, has decreased year-on-year since 2019 due to a slowdown in global demand. However, land-use for natural rubber harvest area is forecast to increase globally year-over-year, reaching a maximum additional 5.1 million hectares in 2030.
