Reclaimed Rubber Market - Industry Analysis, Market Size, Share, Trends, Application Analysis, Growth And Forecast 2021 - 2026
The Reclaimed Rubber Market size is forecast to reach US$6.6 billion by 2026, after growing at a CAGR of 10.6% during the forecast period (2021-2026). Reclaimed rubber is reliable rubber that is obtained through various thermo-synthetic cycles. By shortening the polymer chain, reclaimed rubber is relaxed. The types of reclaimed rubber widely used include ethylene propylene diene monomer, butyl reclaim, and the whole Tire Reclaim. The growing automobile industry is fueling the interest in reclaimed rubber due to its ability to protect against heat and bright light. It is used in assembling wheels, belts, tires, and hoses in automobiles. Consumers are becoming increasingly conscious of the environmental impact of their behaviors and purchases. As a result, new trends including sustainability, recycling existing products, reusing outdated things, and reducing environmental effects and pollution have emerged. Such factors have aided the expansion of the reclaimed rubber industry, which is based on the creation of new products from discarded consumer items like vehicle tires. According to the Korea Trade & Investment Promotion Agency (KOTRA), there is a strong demand for commercial vehicles in Saudi Arabia. The commercial vehicle sales were about 82,027 units in 2018 and is expected to reach about 97,188 by 2023. With the increasing automotive industry, the demand for tires will also increase which eventually boots the reclaimed rubber market growth.
COVID-19 Impact
The COVID-19 pandemic has slowed the progress of several sectors. A few areas have seen a decline in popularity, while others have remained stable and provide stimulating development opportunities. Recently, the COVID-19 epidemic has impacted the Reclaimed Rubber industry, causing a substantial portion of the assembly line to be shut down for a short period of time. The production & demand of automotive also got affected during the pandemic. For instance, according to the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA), China's passenger car sales in June fell 6.5% year on year to 1.68 million units. Also, Toyota Motor Corporation reported a YoY sales decline of 26%, May’s unit sales were almost double that of April, which fell 56% YoY. With the decrease in automotive production, the demand for automotive tires has considerably fallen, which is having a major impact on the reclaimed rubber market.

Key Takeaways
Asia Pacific dominates the reclaimed rubber market, owing to the increasing production of vehicles. According to OICA, the production of passenger cars has increased by 2.6 % in Malaysia in 2019.
Because of manageability, lower energy consumption, and cost-effectiveness, reclaimed rubber is widely used in modern applications instead of engineered elastic.
As part of their corporate social responsibility, industry players are attempting to discover better ways to reduce/alleviate the environmental harm caused by butyl rubber production. This is expected to support market development plans sooner.
In compared to its synthetic alternative, this low-cost raw material is widely favored by manufacturers due to its lower power consumption rate and lower thermal plasticity levels, which make it easier to break down during processing.
In addition, strict recycling regulations and government intervention to minimize the number of landfills and other waste that reduces the amount of available fertile farming land has led to an increase in reclamation initiatives.

Reclaimed Rubber Market Challenges
Fluctuating prices of raw materials such as crude oil can cause an obstruction to the market growth
The growth of the reclaimed rubber market is being hampered by fluctuating raw material costs. Factors such as shifting crude material costs, unexpected natural compound (VOC) contamination guidelines due to flexible handling, and the availability of options, may hinder the market’s growth. According to, BP Statistical Review of World Energy, in the recent year there is been an increase in the price volatility of crude oil. The crude oil price has decreased from $98.95/bbl in 2014 to $52.39/bbl in 2015 and increased from $43.73/bbl in 2016 to $71.31/bbl in 2018 and then decreased to $64.21/bbl in 2019 and $41.84/bbl in 2020. This fluctuation is affecting the reclaimed rubber market. In addition, because of its ability to absorb air and creep, reclaimed rubber is difficult to treat during handling. Another test for the business is its sensitivity to toxins in the production of rubber residual parts, which is a big medical hazard. Therefore, the aforementioned may restrict reclaimed rubber market growth.
