United Kingdom Natural Rubber Market Report and Forecast 2025-2034
Description
The United Kingdom natural rubber market reached around 281.86 KMT in 2024. The market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 2.70% between 2025 and 2034, reaching almost 367.91 KMT by 2034.
United Kingdom Natural Rubber Market Growth
By 2027, the demand for natural latex gloves in the healthcare industry globally is expected to cross $65 billion. This is expected to drive market players towards adopting sustainable manufacturing practices for making medical gloves. This includes the use of a special natural rubber latex formulation, which results in 50% savings of time and energy. This mixture excludes the presence of naturally occurring rubber proteins, which do not cause any skin allergies. It also ensures 100% product degradation, which makes it an eco-friendly material for producers and consumers and drives the development of the circular economic model of growth.
The rapid growth of automotive manufacturing in the UK is expected to increase the demand for natural rubber in tyre manufacturing substantially. While rubber constitutes 15% of a typical car tyre, it makes up 30% of an average truck tyre. The special performance characteristics attributed to rubber cannot be replicated by most of the existing elements, which makes it a critical raw material for the automotive industry. According to the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders, car production in the UK recorded a monthly growth rate of 21% in January 2024. 29,590 units of hybrid and battery electric vehicles were manufactured in the UK. Over 75% of these shipments were exported to other countries, with overseas shipments witnessing a steady monthly growth. This is expected to contribute to the demand for natural rubber in the UK in the coming years.
