[Online Quarterly Update]Global nitrile butadiene rubber demand is projected to grow at a healthy CAGR of 3.12% during the forecast period. 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 noted for high strength and excellent resistance to abrasion, water, alcohols and heat. Due to these properties, NBR find application in hose, belting and cable which accounts for 27% of NBR consumption, o-rings and seals (20%), latex applications (14%), molded and extruded products (14%), adhesives and sealants (10%). Other uses of NBR include the use of NBR powder as impact modifier for PVC and ABS. due to these applications there are several end use industries for NBR which include automotive which accounts for 50% of the market, 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. Moreover, the availability of substitutes including thermoplastic elastomers (TPE), fluoroelastomers, and natural rubber coupled with the fluctuating prices of NBR is expected to hinder the demand during the forecast period. Upcoming capacity expansions including the upcoming Petronas Chemicals/ LG Chem NBR plant with a capacity of 200 KT in Malaysia is expected to provide opportunities for demand growth during the forecast period.
Owing to the impact of COVID-19, nitrile butadiene rubber demand has declined drastically due to nationwide lockdowns and subsequent disruptions in supply chains. Construction and automotive sectors were the most severely hit sectors during the pandemic which had an impact on NBR industry. However overall good demand growth has been observed in China from the manufacturing sector due to continuation of production activities after the lockdowns.
Region wise, Asia Pacific region holds the major share of global demand for nitrile butadiene rubber due to growing demand for constriction and automotive sector. With China being the hub of automotive sector in the Asia Pacific, many manufacturing companies have set up manufacturing plants in China for nitrile rubber thereby increasing the overall capacity in Asia Pacific. Increasing population and per capita income in emerging economies is another factor propelling demand growth for nitrile butadiene rubber in Asia Pacific.
