Key Growth Drivers
- The increasing demand for tires and tubes in the automotive industry is driving the global reclaimed rubber market. According to the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (OICA), an organization working in the interest of vehicle manufacturers and assemblers stated that vehicle production increased by 3% from 2020 to 2021 after declining by 13% from 2019 to 2020. Thus, the increasing production of motor vehicles is driving the demand for tires, which is likely to act as a driver for the reclaimed rubber market.
- Devocalization or depolymerization of waste rubber will likely result in the degradation of the physical properties of rubber. Devocalization is a process through which vulcanized waste rubber is transformed into the state in which it can be vulcanized, after mixing and processing. Degradation of rubber can range up to 30 to 70% from the virgin state. A higher level of application such as tires from waste rubber is limited to use after the degradation of a material.
- COVID-19 has decelerated the growth of the reclaimed rubber market. This is because of the temporary shutdown of assembly lines, disruption of the supply chain, and decline in vehicle sales numbers. But as the market is recovering and restrictions are easing down, it is estimated that the Reclaimed Rubber market will recover shortly. According to the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (OICA), stated that Europe vehicle production declined by 24% from 2019 to 2021, and American vehicle production declined by 20% from 2019 to 2021. The decrease in the demand for vehicles during COVID-19 impacted the sales of automotive tires, which significantly impacted the reclaimed rubber market.
Key Trends by Market Segment
By Type: The whole tire segment held the largest market share of the global reclaimed rubber market in 2021. The automotive industry and OEMs are driving the demand for whole-tire reclaimed rubber.
- The whole tire reclaimed rubber is manufactured from the end-of-life tire and the tread’s peeling. This reclaimed rubber is used in auto tires, conveyor belts, rubber sheets, rubber molded goods, and transmission belts.
- The demand for whole-tire reclaimed rubber is rising because of its high versatility, durability, lower processing cost, and lesser impact on the environment.

By Application: The tire segment accounted for the largest market share in 2021, owing to the rising demand from the automotive and aerospace tire industry.
- Tire usages are inner liners, inner tubes, tire sidewalls, tire piles, tire tread, and retreads. The demand for tires is rising due to a shift in the trend toward eco-friendly and sustainable materials.
- Furthermore, the easy availability of wasted and disposed tires along with lower reclaim rubber costs, propel the demand for the tire segment.
By End-User: The automotive and aircraft tires held the largest market in 2021, owing to the increasing demand for lower-cost tires, and awareness regarding the usage of sustainable products.
- Aircraft tires are built from conductive elastomer, which contains natural rubber, and are subject to extreme conditions. On the other hand, automotive tires are available in a variety of applications by multiple tire companies.
- Rising rubber costs, soaring environmental concerns caused by dumping used rubber in rivers, and increased energy efficiency, are all those factors that are driving the automotive and aircraft tire segment.
