Nitrile Butadiene Rubber Market Growth & Trends

The global nitrile butadiene rubber market size is expected to reach USD 3.26 billion by 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. It is projected to expand at a CAGR of 5.8% from 2024 to 2030. Extensive utilization of nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) across the automotive and transportation industry along with usage across hoses & gaskets across the oil & gas industry are anticipated to propel the demand for NBR. However, since acrylonitrile and butadiene are both the major raw materials for NBR, fluctuations across the prices of these raw materials poses as a challenge for the market. Furthermore, the NBR market space is highly competitive, since many manufacturers are indulged in implementing strategic initiatives such as production expansion, new product launch, merger & acquisitions, and other.

Nitrile butadiene rubber products, such as hoses, oil handling seals, drill bit seals, and self-sealing fuel tanks, molded shapes, and others are widely utilized in oil & gas industry. Properties such as excellent oil, fuel, grease resistance, heat resistance, and abrasion resistance are significantly propelling the demand for nitrile butadiene rubber in oil & gas industry. Increasing oil & gas drilling activities, especially shale gas, are fuelling the growth of oil & gas industry, which, in turn, is further anticipated to drive the market growth. Shale gas is a natural gas found confined within shale formations and is extracted using horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing technologies. Shale gas has become an important source of natural gas in the U.S. Studies suggest that shale gas is expected to greatly expand the global energy supply.

Rising scale of automotive manufacturing and the increasing use of modified plastics are expected to act as a key driver for the growth of NBR market over the forecast period. NBR is extensively used in automotive industry owing to its properties such as resistance to oil & chemicals, structural stability in extreme temperatures, and impact resistance. NBR is used in automotive components such as hoses, cables & belting, O-rings & seals, and other molded & extruded products. In addition, NBR powder is used in automotive industry in gasket manufacturing. Requirement of these components in the service of automotive also creates an opportunity for NBR in the aftermarket.

Acrylonitrile and butadiene are the major raw materials of nitrile butadiene rubber. Acrylonitrile is derived from propylene and butadiene is extracted from crude butylene concentration stream, (a byproduct of ethylene and propylene). Ethylene and propylene are further produced from crude oil derivatives. Thus, the variation in crude oil prices has a significant impact on the price of nitrile butadiene rubber. Fluctuations in crude oil prices can be attributed to supply-demand imbalance, seasonal variation, and political instability.

Nitrile Butadiene Rubber Market Report Highlights
  • Nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) is a petroleum-based, oil-resistant synthetic rubber and used across various applications including automotive, oil & gas, metallurgy & mining, construction, medical, and others. This oil-resistant synthetic rubber is produced by emulsifying butadiene and acrylonitrile together in water and then polymerizing the end product.
  • Highly volatile prices of raw materials are expected to affect the overall growth of the market. Key ingredients, including acrylonitrile and butadiene, have witnessed sharp fluctuations in raw material prices, which is expected to negatively affect the growth of the market over the forecast period.
  • North America’s market for nitrile butadiene rubber is estimated to witness significant growth owing to the broadening application scope of NBR and the growth of end-use industries. Industrial & medical gloves segment is likely to progress at a fast-paced CAGR on account of a well-established medical industry in the region and stringent regulations regarding the health & safety of workers in industries.
  • The global per capita energy requirement is gradually increasing over the years, which is expected to portray growth opportunities for the U.S. oil & gas industry. In addition, increasing shale gas production in the country is projected to fuel the growth of oil & gas industry. Factors such as tax credits, low-interest rates, R&D programs for natural gas, and focus on reducing the dependency on foreign oil & gas imports are propelling shale gas production in the country. All these aforementioned factors are expected to drive the oil & gas industry in the U.S., which, in turn, is projected to create significant demand for nitrile butadiene rubber in the country over the forecast period.
