Automotive Rubber Market: Strategic Insights

Automotive Rubber Market Growth Drivers

• Growth of Automotive Industry in Emerging Economies: In the last few years, the automotive industry has been significantly growing across emerging economies such as Brazil, China, India, Mexico, and South Africa. With the increasing disposable income, the demand for both passenger and commercial vehicles is growing in developing countries. For instance, according to the Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations (FADA), in India, sales of passenger vehicles increased to 2,854,242 units in November 2023, compared with 2,409,535 units in November 2022. Similarly, according to the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (CAAM), the sales of commercial vehicles accounted for 18.3% year-on-year for September 2023 in China. These stats show the increasing demand for vehicles. The automotive industry also paved its way in Brazil and South Africa. According to the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (OICA), South Africa's automobile production increased by 24% to 555,889 units in 2022. According to the same source, Brazil was the largest manufacturer and exporter of light and commercial vehicles in 2023 in South & Central America. The country reported production of 2.3 million vehicles in 2022. Thus, the growth of automotive industries in emerging economies is expected to create lucrative opportunities for the automotive elastomers market growth.
