Synthetic Rubber Price Trend and Forecast
Regional Price Overview
Get the latest insights on price movement and trend analysis of Synthetic Rubber in different regions across the world (Asia, Europe, North America, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa).
For the First Half of 2022
Asia
The synthetic rubber prices surged throughout the Asian market as the prices of crude oil reached a new maximum. The petrochemical industry was deeply impacted by the trade restrictions, lack of raw materials and port congestions. The resurgence of covid-19 in powerhouse China led to a series of lockdowns causing the factories to halt production. The strong market sentiments provided the needed demand side support hence, the prices of synthetic rubber soared throughout Asia.
However, with the high-cost inflation and cautious buying activity of traders, the synthetic prices started to stabilize. The rubber prices started to decline due to demand destruction owing to contractionary monetary policies by banks the world over and the looming threat of a global recession. The price of Styrene Butadiene Rubber averaged 172410 INR/MT in the Indian market while that of neoprene-Guangdong CR121 averaged 43250 RMB/MT.
Europe
The synthetic rubber pricing patterns held steady during the time period mentioned. The manufacturers increased their prices to protect their profitability as a result of the elevated costs of raw materials, power, and crude oil. The strong demand from the packaging, automotive, and pharmaceutical industries further supported these increased quotes. During the specified period, the price of Styrene Butadiene Rubber averaged 3420 USD/MT chloroprene rubber prices increased by 7.3%.
North America
The higher prices of synthetic rubber throughout the US domestic market were supported by trade restrictions along with labour shortages, commodity inflation, and surging market attitudes. While the price of SBR ranged between 3750 and 3940 USD/MT while that of chloroprene rubber recorded a hike of 4.5% ( approx.).

About
Synthetic Rubber is an artificial elastomer made by the polymerization of petroleum byproducts. It is superior to natural rubber in terms of thermal stability and strong resistance to oil and oxidizing agents. The rubber industry worldwide is looking to other methods of preparing synthetic rubbers rather than petroleum byproducts to reduce the carbon footprint and increase sustainability. Some common types of synthetic rubbers are SBR, silicone, neoprene, etc.
