Notch publishes new Rubber Chemicals Market Update

ERJ staff report (DS)

Amherst, Massachusetts -- Notch Consulting forecasts that global demand for rubber chemicals will increase 4.1 percent/year from 2010 to 2015, while growth for the world excluding China will average 3.2 percent/year over the same period. The Chinese market is forecast to see gains of 5.7 percent/year from 2010 to 2015. Increased production of radial passenger tyres remains the primary growth driver, reflecting robust new investment in production capacity by tyre companies.
