Rubber consumption is high; what is the ratio of natural rubber to synthetic rubber consumption in our country?
According to data released by the China Rubber Industry Association, rubber consumption in China is currently dominated by synthetic rubber, with relatively low consumption of natural rubber. The specific figures are as follows: By the end of 2020, China’s annual consumption of natural rubber was approximately 467.5 thousand tons, while its consumption of synthetic rubber was around 6,229 thousand tons. Therefore, the consumption ratio of natural rubber to synthetic rubber in China is approximately 1:13.3. It is worth noting that there are significant differences in rubber consumption across various industries and application areas; for example, industries such as automobile tires, industrial hoses, and shoe materials have a high demand for rubber.
