The Global Market for Ribbed Smoked Sheet (RSS) is Projected to Exceed 5.7 Million Metric Tons by 2022
Stable Automobile Production Drives Growth in the Ribbed
Smoked Sheet Market, According to a New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.
GIA launches comprehensive
analysis of industry segments, trends, growth drivers, market share, size and
demand forecasts on the global Ribbed Smoked Sheet (RSS) market. The global market for Ribbed Smoked Sheet (RSS) is
projected to exceed 5.7 million metric tons by 2022, driven by steady demand from various end-use
applications, particularly the automotive industry where RSS finds sizeable opportunities
in tire and other component production.
Ribbed Smoked Sheet (RSS)
is a variant of natural rubber, comprising cis-1,4 poly-isoprene with traces of
non-rubber constituents such as lipids and proteins. RSS is processed by
deliberate coagulation process involving formic acid, and following
coagulation, the processed material is washed, sheeted and dried by air
treatment or smoking. Subsequently, the material is inspected and graded
through visual methods before baling for release into commercial markets.
Superior attributes in terms of high tensile strength, high resilience and low
heat build-up features makes RSS one of the most widely used forms of natural
rubber. Myriad applications of commercial RSS, available in grades from RSS1 to
RSS5 with varied technical features, as an established raw material in the
manufacture of products and solutions in automotive, healthcare/medical,
industrial and consumer goods markets, represents the primary factor driving
growth in consumption over the years.
Healthy growth is
projected for the market in the coming years driven by expansion in demand for
automotive tires, in both OEM and replacement segments. Rising sales of new
passenger cars as well as commercial vehicles are consistently driving demand
for OEM tires as well as replacement tires, thereby improving the market
prospects for tire-grade RSS in a major way. While tires constitute the most
established application for RSS within the automotive sector, the material is
also widely used in manufacture of a multitude of products for automotive
applications such as engine belts, insulators, gaskets, seals and strips, among
others. RSS market would also benefit from uptrend in demand for healthcare/medical
products market where the natural rubber variant is used to produce syringes,
surgical gloves, catheters, droppers, and tests and caps, among others.
Favorable economic scenario and positive momentum in the industrial end-use
market where RSS finds use in tubes, mats, hoses, linings, moldings and
conveyor belts, among others, is also poised to benefit market prospects in the
near term.
As stated by the new
market research report on Ribbed Smoked Sheet (RSS), China
represents the largest and the fastest growing market worldwide with a CAGR of 5.3%
over the analysis period. China consumes large quantities of natural rubber
ribbed smoked sheets supported by stable economic progress; rising public and
private investments in industrial manufacturing; growing automotive tire
production; and high business confidence indices that remained positive over the
past several years. RSS remains a highly traded commodity worldwide with
production concentrated in Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, China,
India, and the Philippines.
