The North America Nitrile Butadiene Rubber Market would witness market growth of 5.2% CAGR during the forecast period (2023-2030). In the year 2019, the North America market's volume surged to 160.58 Kilo Tonnes, showcasing a growth of 3.4% (2019-2022).
The aerospace industry leverages NBR for its compatibility with aviation fuels and lubricants. Seals and gaskets made from NBR ensure the integrity of aircraft components, contributing to the safety and efficiency of air travel. NBR's ability to maintain its properties over a broad temperature range is particularly advantageous in the demanding conditions experienced during flight. Seals and gaskets made from nitrile butadiene rubber are instrumental in maintaining the integrity of aircraft components, including engines, fuel systems, and hydraulic systems.
These components operate in challenging conditions, and the reliability of sealing materials is paramount to prevent fuel or fluid leakage that could compromise the safety and functionality of the aircraft. NBR's resilience and sealing capabilities significantly prevent leaks and enhance air travel's overall safety. Furthermore, as a testament to its adaptability, NBR has also found applications in consumer goods, including footwear, adhesives, and sportswear. NBR is used for outsoles in footwear, providing slip resistance and durability. Adhesives incorporating NBR offer strong bonding capabilities, while sportswear benefits from the material's comfort and resistance to wear and tear.
The expansion of the automotive sector in Mexico may impact the entire supply chain, including the demand for raw materials like NBR. NBR's resistance to weathering and UV exposure makes it suitable for weatherproofing materials. Construction projects in Canada, where weather conditions can be challenging, may benefit from NBR-based materials for insulation, roofing, and other weather-resistant applications. According to Statistics Canada, in July 2023, non-residential construction investments increased marginally by 0.5%, reaching $5.9 billion. Commercial investment increased by a mere 0.3% to $3.3 billion, whereas industrial investment rose by 0.6% to $1.2 billion. Investments in institutional construction increased by 1.2% to $1.5 billion. Hence, North America's growing construction and automotive sectors will boost the demand for these rubbers in the region.
