El tamaño del mercado global de caucho de nitrilo butadieno (NBR) es de USD 2,10 mil millones en 2020 y se espera que crezca hasta USD 3,48 mil millones para 2029, a una tasa de crecimiento anual compuesta (CAGR) del 5,90%.
Se espera que la amplia aplicación del caucho de nitrilo butadieno (NBR) en los sectores de la automoción y el transporte, así como su uso en mangueras y juntas en la industria del petróleo y el gas , impulse la demanda de NBR. Sin embargo, las fluctuaciones en los precios del acrilonitrilo y el butadieno, las principales materias primas del NBR, suponen un desafío para el mercado. Además, el mercado del NBR se caracteriza por una intensa competencia, con numerosos fabricantes que persiguen iniciativas estratégicas como la expansión de la producción, el lanzamiento de nuevos productos y las fusiones y adquisiciones. Por ejemplo, en mayo de 2023, ARLANXEO anunció el inicio de la construcción de su planta de producción de caucho sintético en Jubail, Arabia Saudita, con una capacidad de producción anual de 140 kilotones.
El NBR se utiliza ampliamente en el sector automotriz, en particular en juntas tóricas, correas y cables, y su principal aplicación es en las bandas de rodadura y los flancos de los neumáticos debido a su favorable resistencia a la abrasión y baja resistencia a la rodadura, lo que garantiza un alto rendimiento. Además, el NBR sirve como una alternativa rentable al caucho natural con propiedades mejoradas. En consecuencia, el crecimiento del mercado del NBR está estrechamente vinculado a los avances en la industria automotriz.
Cabe destacar el rápido crecimiento observado en industrias como la automotriz, la aeronáutica, la construcción, la medicina y la alimentación y bebidas en toda la región de Asia-Pacífico (APAC). Las industrias manufactureras nacionales en países como China, Japón y Corea del Sur han sido testigos de una expansión significativa durante la última década y se proyecta que mantendrán esta trayectoria en el futuro. Economías como China e India, caracterizadas por un rápido crecimiento, están atrayendo inversiones sustanciales de entidades tanto nacionales como internacionales. Los fabricantes nacionales de productos NBR, incluidos los que producen guantes, mangueras y cinturones, están aumentando sus capacidades para satisfacer la creciente demanda nacional y mundial. Cabe destacar que los fabricantes de guantes de Malasia están ampliando las capacidades de producción para capitalizar la creciente demanda de guantes NBR.
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.
