Based on type, the Vietnam natural rubber industry is segmented into concentrated latex, ribbed smoked sheets (RSS), solid block rubber, and others (crepe rubber and reclaimed rubber). Concentrated latex holds largest market share owing to its increased use in industrial applications. RSS natural rubber is generally made from unsmoked rubber sheets. RSS segment is further sub-segmented into RSS1, RSS2, RSS3, RSS4, and RSS5 that depend on elasticity, color, and purity where RSS1 type denotes the best quality of RSS natural rubber while RSS5 type denotes the least quality. In addition, based on application, market is segmented into automobile tires and other automotive parts, conveyor belts, gloves, footwear, rubber pipes, and others for instance general and industrial rubber good. In addition, based on end-use industry, market is segmented into medical & healthcare sector, automotive industry and other industries. In medical & healthcare sector, the natural rubber is used for the treatment of degradation of extensive range of bacteria and products are manufactured for allergic reactions. In automotive industry, it is used for the manufacturing of tubes and tires. The automotive industry is expected to witness higher growth rate due to rise in application in the consumer goods and manufacturing industries such as footwear, cement industry, insulating blankets, balloons, air hoses, balls and cushions.
The Vietnam natural rubber industry is driven by rise in demand for gloves, followed by increase in middle class population, growth in automobile production is increasing the demand for car tires, rise in crude oil prices and increase in disposable income. However, threat of substitutability from synthetic rubber and volatility in raw material prices of petrochemicals are subjected to foreign currency exchange rates may impact the market.
