Der globale Markt für Nitril-Butadien-Kautschuk (NBR) hat im Jahr 2020 ein Volumen von 2,10 Milliarden US-Dollar und dürfte bis 2029 auf 3,48 Milliarden US-Dollar wachsen, was einer durchschnittlichen jährlichen Wachstumsrate (CAGR) von 5,90 % entspricht.
Die weit verbreitete Anwendung von Nitril-Butadien-Kautschuk (NBR) im Automobil- und Transportsektor sowie seine Verwendung in Schläuchen und Dichtungen in der Öl- und Gasindustrie dürften die Nachfrage nach NBR ankurbeln. Allerdings stellen Schwankungen bei den Preisen von Acrylnitril und Butadien, den Hauptrohstoffen für NBR, eine Herausforderung für den Markt dar. Darüber hinaus ist der NBR-Markt durch intensiven Wettbewerb gekennzeichnet, wobei zahlreiche Hersteller strategische Initiativen wie Produktionsausweitung, Einführung neuer Produkte sowie Fusionen und Übernahmen verfolgen. So kündigte ARLANXEO im Mai 2023 den Baubeginn seiner Anlage zur Herstellung von synthetischem Kautschuk in Jubail, Saudi-Arabien, mit einer jährlichen Produktionskapazität von 140 Kilotonnen an.
NBR wird im Automobilsektor häufig verwendet, insbesondere in O-Ringen, Riemen und Kabeln. Seine Hauptanwendung liegt in Reifenlaufflächen und Seitenwänden aufgrund seiner günstigen Abriebfestigkeit und seines geringen Rollwiderstands, wodurch eine hohe Leistung gewährleistet wird. Darüber hinaus dient NBR als kostengünstige Alternative zu Naturkautschuk mit verbesserten Eigenschaften. Folglich ist das Wachstum des NBR-Marktes eng mit den Entwicklungen in der Automobilindustrie verknüpft.
Bemerkenswert ist das rasante Wachstum in Branchen wie Automobil, Luftfahrt, Bauwesen, Medizin sowie Lebensmittel und Getränke im gesamten asiatisch-pazifischen Raum (APAC). Die heimischen Fertigungsindustrien in Ländern wie China, Japan und Südkorea haben im letzten Jahrzehnt ein deutliches Wachstum erlebt und werden diesen Trend voraussichtlich auch in Zukunft beibehalten. Volkswirtschaften wie China und Indien, die sich durch rasantes Wachstum auszeichnen, ziehen erhebliche Investitionen sowohl von inländischen als auch von internationalen Unternehmen an. Inländische Hersteller von NBR-Produkten, darunter solche, die Handschuhe, Schläuche und Gürtel herstellen, erweitern ihre Kapazitäten, um der steigenden inländischen und globalen Nachfrage gerecht zu werden. Insbesondere malaysische Handschuhhersteller erweitern ihre Produktionskapazitäten, um von der wachsenden Nachfrage nach NBR-Handschuhen zu profitieren.
The Nitrile Butadiene Rubber (NBR) market is segmented by Product, and end user Industry
On the basis of Product, global Nitrile Butadiene Rubber (NBR) market is segmented into Hoses, Cables, Belts, Molded & Extruded Products, Seals & O-rings, Rubber Compounds, Adhesives & Sealants. the seals and O-rings category dominated the market for nitrile butadiene rubber. They're found in a variety of vehicle components, including engines, doors, batteries, power steering systems, and other applications. In pressure-sensitive applications such as pumps, cylinders, hydraulic motors, and so on, seals and O-rings assist prevent liquid or gas loss. The increasing usage of compressed natural gas and electric energy-powered cars is predicted to boost seal and O-ring consumption, boosting the nitrile butadiene rubber.
Transmission belts made of nitrile butadiene rubber are widely utilized in the food processing, automotive, mining, and other industries. In emerging nations, rising urbanization, manufacturing process automation, and industrialization are predicted to stimulate demand for conveyor belts, elevator belts, and transmission belts in the aforementioned end-use industries. The market for nitrile butadiene rubber is expected to rise as a result of this.
On the basis of end user Industry, global Nitrile Butadiene Rubber (NBR) market is segmented into Automotive, Mechanical Engineering, Oil & Gas, Metallurgy & Mining, Construction, Medical, Others. The market for nitrile butadiene rubber was controlled by the automotive end-use category. The need for large-sized seals used in batteries is likely to be driven by the increasing electric vehicle industry in developing nations. Because batteries are vital components in electric cars, seals must be chemical and abrasion resistant, which plays an important role in seal design and is projected to affect the nitrile butadiene rubber market throughout the projection period.
The Key Players in Nitrile Butadiene Rubber (NBR) Market are ARLANXEO, Zeon Chemicals L.P., NITRIFLEX, SIBUR, PetroChina Company Limited, Dynasol Group, Synthos S.A., KUMHO PETROCHEMICAL, LG Chem, Versalis S.p.A., JSR Corporation, AirBoss of America.
Industry News:
In May 2021, Ace Elastomer, Inc. was purchased by AirBoss of America for USD 42.5 million in cash. This purchase is projected to drive AirBoss of America into a market-leading position in specialty compounding, allowing the company to access consumers in the Midwest and South of the United States.
June 30, 2021-Zeon Chemicals L.P. (“ZEON”) has filed an antidumping petition with the U.S. Department of Commerce and the U.S. International Trade Commission to stop the dumping of acrylonitrile butadiene rubber or nitrile rubber (“NBR”) into the United States from France, Mexico, and South Korea.
Geographically, Nitrile Butadiene Rubber (NBR) market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Rest of the world.
Asia Pacific led the nitrile butadiene rubber market, accounting for more than 55.0 percent of total revenue. The increased demand for nitrile butadiene rubber in India, China, and ASEAN nations is principally driven by the strong demand from bulk manufacturing of molded and extruded polymer goods and automobile components. The Indian cabinet authorized a USD 3.5 billion incentive program in September 2021 to stimulate the manufacture of fuel-cell and battery-electric automobiles and encourage drone manufacturing. Over the projection period, these incentive schemes are likely to fuel the Indian automotive market and have an impact on the NBR market.
Europe has a thriving medical industry as well as a big number of chemical processing plants. Due to the rising automotive, medical, and other end-use sectors in the region, there has been a considerable increase in demand for medical and industrial gloves in recent years. Because of its vast mineral deposits and widespread usage of electrical and electronic products, Africa's mining sector has surged. Hydraulic mechanisms are required for drilling and excavation equipment to function properly. Hydraulic systems necessitate the use of hoses, seals, gaskets, and O-rings to ensure that fluid pressure is transferred effectively and that it is not lost, leading in a rise in demand for nitrile butadiene rubber.
