Acrylic Rubber Market Report 2026

The acrylic rubber market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.74 billion in 2025 to $1.87 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing automotive production volumes, expansion of industrial machinery manufacturing, rising demand for oil-resistant materials, growth in chemical processing industries, availability of advanced synthetic rubber formulations.

The acrylic rubber market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.56 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing adoption of electric vehicle components, rising demand for durable elastomers in harsh environments, expansion of lightweight material usage, growing focus on high-performance sealing solutions, increasing investments in specialty rubber production. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing demand for high-temperature resistant elastomers, growing use of acrylic rubber in automotive sealing systems, expansion of oil-resistant rubber applications, rising adoption in electrical and electronics components, enhanced focus on long-life elastomer performance.

Increasing automobile production is anticipated to drive the expansion of the acrylic rubber market. Automobiles are self-propelled motor vehicles, including cars, trucks, motorcycles, and others, designed for road transportation. Automotive production involves transforming raw materials into motor vehicles and the components required to assemble them. Acrylic rubber products find extensive applications in automobile parts such as transmissions, bearing seals, and O-rings due to their heat- and oil-resistant characteristics. Consequently, the rise in automobile production is boosting demand for acrylic rubber products. For example, in May 2025, according to the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (ACEA), a Belgium-based vehicle manufacturing organization, South American car production increased by 1.7% in 2024 compared to 2023, primarily driven by Brazil, which saw a 6.3% rise, producing around 1.9 million cars. At the same time, global bus production reached 362,005 units last year, reflecting a 10.3% growth from 2023. Therefore, the growth in automobile production is supporting the expansion of the acrylic rubber market.

The expanding construction sector is anticipated to drive the growth of the acrylic rubber market in the coming years. The construction industry encompasses activities related to the development, maintenance, and repair of infrastructure. Acrylic rubbers are widely utilized in construction applications to deliver weather-resistant protection for roofing systems and to seal joints and gaps in buildings and other structures. For example, in June 2024, TST Europe AG, a Switzerland-based manufacturer of quick-connect couplings, reported that total construction spending reached $1.98 trillion in 2023, representing a 7.4% increase compared to the previous year. As a result, the continued growth of the construction industry is contributing to the expansion of the acrylic rubber market.

In August 2024, Trelleborg AB, a Sweden-based engineering company, acquired Baron Group for $300 million. This acquisition is intended to enhance Trelleborg's standing as a global partner in the medical technology sector by expanding its manufacturing capacity and expertise in advanced precision silicone components. Baron Group, based in Australia, specializes in the production of these advanced precision silicone components.
