Latest News- Nitrile Butadiene Rubber Market: HB and C is expected to lead the Application segment during 2024-2028

The Nitrile Butadiene Rubber Market is being driven by Increasing consumption from automotive and aeronautical industries

The Nitrile Butadiene Rubber Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.5% during 2023 and 2028. During this period, the market is also expected to show a growth of USD 319.8 million. In the synthetic rubber market, there is a burgeoning trend towards utilizing bio-based feedstocks in production. This shift is driven by the imperative to achieve sustainability, as well as the increasing costs and dwindling supply of traditional petroleum raw materials and natural rubber. Major players in the nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) sector are actively pursuing this approach, collaborating with industrial biotech firms to commercialize bio-based rubber raw materials. Bio-based butadiene, a key component of NBR, is produced using renewable raw material sources, such as non-food biomass. This sustainable production method is poised to revolutionize the industry and provide long-term solutions to the challenges of resource scarcity and environmental concerns.
