| |DECEMBER 20205 | | JUNE 20204Rubber industry has come a long way in the past decade. From producing largely for the domestic market, it has gradually spread its wings and is now exporting to global markets. This is a testimony to the capability of the rubber industry in India. With diverse applications in various industries and for different use cases, rubber products have become the integral cog of the finished goods in a host of industries. It is the uniqueness of this industry that you can see two different groups of manufacturers coexisting with each other and availing access to their respective market share. On the one hand there are established big players which are mostly into the primary demand segment of tyres, and on the other hand we have small and mid-sized rubber manufacturers that are catering to every demand of rubber from almost all industries. If we look at the value chain of rubber industry, we can see it starting with natural rubber plantations and ending with a multifarious range of dry rubber and latex based products. Traditionally, natural rubber has been a regulated commodity with stringent tariff protection and domestic market regulations. However, the recent initiatives from institutional bodies aiming at self-sufficiency and import substitution have worked in favour of the Indian rubber industry. Given the fact that it is a labour-intensive industry, rubber product manufacturing has 6,000 MSMEs in total employing more than 6 lakh people directly. Other than the automotive sector, the domestic rubber industry is growing with the effect of demand impetus from mining, medical, aerospace, agriculture, construction, machinery, engineering and electrical appliance manufacturing industries. We studied this industry segment in-depth and have come up with the list of Top 10 Rubber Products Manufacturers who have excelled in this field with their innovative approach. Having proven their dedication to quality and end-to-end addressal of customer requirements, these companies have stood out from the crowd. We look forward to receiving your feedback.
