The research report categorizes the market for rubber additives on the basis of type, applications, and by region in terms of revenues, volumes, and analyzing trends in each of the submarkets. The applications of rubber additives along with their estimated market revenues and consumption trends are included. On the basis of applications: The rubber additives market is segmented by applications that are tire and non-tire. These applications are further described in detail in the report. In terms of applications, tire accounts for the maximum market share. China is one of the largest producer and consumer of rubber additives. Europe is the second largest consumer of rubber additives.

The rubber additives market is mainly driven by the growth in the demand for automobiles. Asia-Pacific is the fastest-growing vehicle market around the globe, driven by the growing population coupled with the increased spending on automobiles. Asia-Pacific is thus expected to maintain its dominance in the global market owing to the steady growth in China and India. Europe is the other major market for rubber additives. This is due to the growing automobile market in Germany.

Types of rubber additives covered in this report are accelerators, antidegradants, blowing agents, ethylene-vinyl acetate, adhesive agents and others. Antidegradants market hold the maximum market share, in terms of types. The demand for antidegradant is fuelled by its expansion in its applications such as tires and industrial rubber products. Moreover, the increasing demand for high performance rubber is expected to increase the demand for antidegradants.

However, the growing environmental concerns and the stringent governmental regulations are the biggest restraints of the rubber additives market. The processing of natural rubber yields effluents into the air that pollute the environment. The wastewater discharged form rubber processing contains high level of biological oxygen demand compounds. These compounds are biodegradable and lead to high oxygen consumption. The leading players in the market include Emerald Performance Materials (U.S.), Eastman Chemical (U.S.), Lanxess Corporation (Germany), and Arkema SA (France) among several others.

The report covers the Asia-Pacific, North America, Europe and RoW market. It also provides a detailed segmentation of the market on the basis of type and by application, along with projections till 2019. The report has 170 pages including 72 market data tables and 33 figures.
