India Butyl Rubber Comprehensive Techno-Commercial Market Study, 2013-2030

The demand for butyl rubber in India stood at more than 60 KTPA in 2018 and is projected to grow at a healthy CAGR during 2019-2030. Butyl rubber is used in numerous applications due to its property such as excellent impermeability, flexible property and air retention. Butyl rubber is vulcanized to produce durable rubber products. Butyl rubber is majorly used in tires and inner tubes for tire manufacturing, tire curing bladders and pharmaceutical closures as well as in the manufacturing of sports ball bladders.

As of now, India is totally dependent on imports for butyl rubber. All the domestic demand is fulfilled by importing the products from overseas countries. Reliance industries Limited in partnership with SIBUR has formed a joint venture, Reliance Sibur Elastomers Private Limited, in which Reliance Industries Limited holds a major share of 74.9%, while the remaining 25.1% share is held by SIBUR.

Reliance Sibur Elastomers Private Limited’s production plant is located at Jamnagar in Gujarat. The plant, which will have a total annual production capacity of 120,000 metric tonnes of butyl rubber, is expected to be completed by the mid of 2019. While the company’s halo butyl plant is likely to start operations by end-2019. With the commissioning of butyl rubber plant, India’s dependency on imports for butyl rubber is expected to decrease in the coming years.
