Growth Factors
Increasing use of NBR in automotive & transportation industry to drive market growth
The surging use of NBR in various automotive applications, such as belts, cables, and O-rings, due to its heat abrasion resistance, oil and gas resistance, and water and gas permeability. Also, NBR is highly employed in the production of vibration isolation mounts, which are mainly used in vehicles to minimize the transmission of vibrations from various automotive components. Thereby, with the rapid increase in automobile production, the demand for NBR is also projected to increase substantially.
- For instance, according to the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers, the total production of vehicles stood at 2,59,31,867 units between the period of April 2022 to March 2023, with an increase from 2,30,40,066 units produced during the same period of the previous year.
Development of customized and specialty NBR grades fostering the global market growth
A significant number of product manufacturers are heavily focusing on the creation or development of specialized and customized NBR grades in order to meet specific application requirements from various end-use industries, leading to a substantial increase in demand for the product globally.
Restraining Factors
Growing availability of substitute products and fluctuation in raw material prices to hamper market growth
The widespread and easy availability of alternative products to NBR, such as polyurethane, fluoroelastomers, and ethylene propylene rubber, coupled with the constant fluctuation in prices of raw materials used in NBR production, are key factors expected to restrain market growth.

By Product Insights
Seals & O-rings segment accounted for the largest share in 2023
The seals and O-rings segment accounted for the largest share in 2023. Segment’s dominance is attributable to the growing use of seals and O-rings in several pressure-sensitive applications for preventing the loss of gas or fluid. Additionally, they are also widely employed in different automobile components like doors, engines, power steering systems, braking systems, and batteries; thus, the increasing number of vehicles on the road led to greater demand for seals and O-rings as well.
The molded and extruded segment is expected to witness the highest growth. This growth is due to the growing utilization of nitrile rubber in the manufacturing of molded nitrile gaskets, washers, and other products because of its low permeability of fuel and gas, abrasion resistance, corrosion resistance, and wear resistance.
By Application Insights
Automotive segment held the majority share in 2023
The automotive segment held the maximum market share in 2023. This dominance is accelerated by a continuous rise in automotive production that requires NBR as a key material for the manufacturing of various components like seals, hoses, and gaskets. Additionally, the drastic shift of the automotive industry towards electric vehicles worldwide also creates a huge demand for NBR in vehicle battery systems.
The mechanical engineering segment is also expected to hold a substantial share. This is attributed to the growing use of NBR in several mechanical systems because of its excellent resistance to fuel, oil, and chemicals. Growing research and development activities and advancements in technology that led to improved mechanical properties and create new product applications in mechanical engineering will also propel the segment’s growth.
Regional Insights
Asia Pacific region dominated the global market in 2023
The Asia Pacific region dominated the global market in 2023. The region’s dominance is attributed to significant product demand from various end-use industries and the presence of numerous favorable FDI norms by government agencies in the region. As the region is the manufacturing hub for various industries, including automotive and oil and gas, the demand for NBR has witnessed drastic growth over the years. For instance, according to the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, vehicle production and sales in December 2023 in China stood at 3.079 million and 3.156 million units, with an increase of 29.2% and 23.5% on a year-on-year basis, respectively.
The Europe region is anticipated to witness the highest growth during the forecast period. This growth is fueled by rising consumption of nitrile rubber across various applications and increasing innovations in NBR technology, including the development of new processes and product formulations. Moreover, rising adoption or sales of electric vehicles and advancements in the transportation sector in the region are driving the need for NBR at a rapid pace. For instance, according to a report by the World Economic Forum, electric values are growing in Europe, and the sales of EVs in Europe grew by more than 62% in the last 12 months.
