Rubber Process Oil Market Driven By Increasing Demand of Tires
Introduction
Rubber process oil as the name suggests is
used to process and manufacture multiple rubber compounds. It is extracted from
petroleum crude oil and it improves the physical properties of vulcanization to
reduce the cost of end products of rubber compounds. There are mainly 7 types
of rubber process oil namely, distillate aromatic extract, treated distillate
aromatic extracted (TDAE), residual aromatic extract (Rae), treated residual
aromatic extract (TRAE), paraffinic
rubber process oil, mild extracted solvate, and naphthenic rubber process oil.
It works as an internal lubricant and performs a cost-efficient extender
function. Rubber process oil has several applications in tire, flooring
material, footwear, wire and cable coverings, and other applications.
Drivers
of rubber process oil market
Growing tire manufacturing across the globe
owing to booming demand from automobiles is one of the major drivers of the
rubber process oil market. The growth of the automobile industry across the
globe is also increasing the demand for rubber process oil. The increasing
demand for low-viscosity process oils from the automobile industry is
increasing the rubber process oil market size. Growing use of Solution
Styrene-Butadiene Rubber (S-Sbr) in tires is also fueling the demand for rubber
process oils. Rising demand for rubber gloves across various industries
including healthcare and automotive is also bolstering the growth of the rubber
process oil market.
Restraints and opportunities
Factors such as volatility in raw material
prices and growing environmental concerns about the usage of non-biodegradable
products are currently hampering the growth of the rubber process oil market.
However, rising investments in R&D by rubber process oil manufacturers to
develop green rubber process oils will propel the rubber process oil market
growth in the coming years.
Market Segmentation
Geographically, Asia Pacific region is
expected to have a significant market share of the global rubber process oil
market share. The Rubber Process Oil market share is projected on account of increasing demand for
automobiles that is expected to boost the consumption of rubber process oils in
the tire and rubber market of the region. The market of North America region is
expected to witness rapid growth. Europe region market will grow slowly on
account of the implementation of the European Union directive. European Union
directive is banning polycyclic aromatics (PCAs) usage for manufacturing tires
which is restraining the growth of the market in the region.
The naphthenic segment is expected to
witness substantial growth on account of its high thermal stability and good
compatibility with synthetic elastomers. They are used for the production of
various products such as rubber, plasticizers, inks, and sealants as they are
light-colored and possess non-staining characteristics. Their diverse
application in the manufacturing of the above-mentioned products is boosting
the growth of the market. TDAE segment
is also expected to grow on account of the shift towards TDAE in the European
region due to European Union directive. By application, tire segment is
expected to have a significant market share on account of increasing demand for
automotive tires from the automobile industry. The market will continue to grow
owing to the globally increasing demand for automobiles.
