The market is well segmented with a number of players in the market, some big and some small. The major market share is taken by Asian countries, with China being one of the top producers and consumers of the Nitrile Elastomers. The market is matured and is currently facing headwinds due to the volatility of global markets. The rest of the report describes the product and its application, some key trends in the market and the key players of the market.
What are Nitrile Elastomers?
An Elastomer is a polymer that has rubber like properties. Nitrile elastomers are copolymers between unsaturated nitriles and conjugated dienes, mostly butadiene. The copolymer thus formed is called Nitrile-Butadiene, Acrylonitrile-Butadiene or Buna–N and so on. Due to its resistance to aliphatic hydrocarbon oil, good temperature resistance and wear resistance it is a vital product in the automotive and mechanical industry against oils and fats. The higher the acrylonitrile content in the product the higher the oil resistance of the product but the opportunity cost in return is the loss of flexibility and usage at lower temperatures.
What are the applications of Nitrile Elastomers?
Due to it inherent resistance to aliphatic hydrogen oils, good wear resistance, good temperature range and strong physical properties, the product is mainly used in the automotive, and oil and gas industry. It is used to produce sealants, tubes, hoses, membranes, vibration dampeners, pump stators. It is also used in the fashion industry to make shoes, shoe soles, belts; in the construction industry in adhesives and flooring and many more applications.
Market Research and Market Trends of Nitrile Elastomers Market
- The market for Nitrile elastomers expected to progress extremely well as Key players in the market are expanding production units and taking part in joint ventures for the production of these products. The demand for Nitrile elastomers is also rising in the automotive and oil and gas sectors due to its better physical properties in dealing with oils. With Asia being the largest producer of these nitrile elastomers and having some of the largest emerging economies and highest population countries, the demand for resilient and long lasting elastomer products, in respect to dealing with fuel and other hydrocarbon oils, is increasing. This is a positive trend for the Nitrile elastomer business.
- With the expansion and setting up of new petrochemical plants, the availability of raw material for the production of NBR, which is Butadiene, will also increase which will fuel the growth of the NBR market, as the rise in supply will push the prices lower. This will be another added advantage for the Nitrile Elastomer Market.
- Due to the current scenario in International trade the exports of Nitrile elastomer products from the Asian countries to western countries is profitable due to the exchange rate differences. This though effecting the price of raw materials is also playing to the advantage of the Asian Players in the market. As demand for NBR is present globally even the western nations will find it cheaper to buy the product from Asian countries and at the same time the Asian countries will profit of this exchange.
