Global Nitrile Butadiene Rubber (NBR) Market Analysis: Plant Capacity, Production, Operating Efficiency, Demand & Supply, End-User Industries, Sales Channel, Regional Demand, Foreign Trade, Company Share, 2015-2032
The global Nitrile Butadiene Rubber (NBR) market has expanded remarkably to reach approximately 800 thousand tonnes in 2022 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.74% during the forecast period until 2032.
Nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) is a family of unsaturated copolymers of butadiene (BD) and acrylonitrile (ACN). NBR has many properties including high gas impermeability, resistance to wear and tear, thermal resistance, low temperature flexibility. NBR shows high resistance to petroleum products such as gasoline, diesel oil and other fuels over a wide temperature range. NBR is also known for high strength and excellent resistance to abrasion, water, alcohols and heat. Due to these properties, NBR find application in hose, belting and cables, o-rings and seals, latex applications, molded and extruded products, adhesives and sealants. Moreover, compression machinery and hydraulic equipment also use gaskets made with NBR extensively to prevent gas and liquid leaks. Other uses of NBR include the use of NBR powder as impact modifier for Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS). Due to the numerous applications of NBR there are several end use industries for NBR which include automotive, construction, machinery, pharmaceuticals, oil and gas. Growing demand for hose, belting and cable, o-rings and seals from the automotive and construction sector is expected to drive the demand of NBR during the forecast period. Due to these factors, the NBR market is expected to reach 1100 thousand tonnes in 2032.
Based on demand across the globe, the Asia Pacific is reported to be the biggest consumer of the Nitrile Butadiene Rubber (NBR) market followed by Europe and North America. This region held a market share of approximately 60% in 2022. Due to growing demand for construction and automotive sector in the Asia Pacific region, is one of the major factors driving the Nitrile Butadiene Rubber (NBR) market around the world. It is expected that Asia Pacific will most likely remain the biggest consumer in the forecast period. Increasing population and per capita income in emerging economies is another factor propelling demand growth for nitrile butadiene rubber in Asia Pacific region.
Based on the end-user industry, the global Nitrile Butadiene Rubber (NBR) market is segmented into different industrial sectors that include Automotive, Construction, Medical Gloves, and Others. The Automotive industry is dominating the Nitrile Butadiene Rubber (NBR) market. This industry consumed approximately 48% of the market in 2022. Automotive manufacturing, oil & gas, and other end-use industries all require O-rings and seals. Manufacturing of vehicles has a direct impact on the consumption of O-rings and seals in the automotive industry. O-rings and seals are produced using nitrile rubber because of their desirable characteristics, which include low compression setting, high tensile strength, excellent abrasion resistance, and oil resistance. The NBR market is expanding as a result of the extensive usage of NBR O-rings and seals in the manufacturing, oil and gas, and automotive industries.
