The producers represent more than 80% of the global synthetic rubber capacity. The European Tyre & Rubber Manufacturers Association (ETRMA) represents the regulatory and related interests of the European tyre and rubber manufacturers at both the European and international level. Assogomma is a national trade association that represents the interests of the rubber and plastics industry in Italy. Assogomma's members include companies from all sectors of the rubber and plastics industry, including producers, processors, manufacturers, and distributors. Assogomma provides a range of services to its members, including advocacy and representation, information and advice, and networking and events. Assogomma organizes the RUBBER Fair in conjunction with the international PLAST fair. The RUBBER Fair is the leading trade fair for the rubber industry in Italy. The fair showcases a wide range of rubber products and technologies from leading manufacturers around the world. The PLAST fair is the leading trade fair for the plastics industry in Italy. The fair showcases a wide range of plastics products and technologies from leading manufacturers around the world.

According to the research report "Italy Synthetic Rubber Market Overview, 2028," published by Bonafide Research, the market is anticipated to grow with more than 5% CAGR from 2023-2028. Due to a number of variables, the Italian synthetic rubber market is currently experiencing rapid expansion and transformation. Initiatives for research and development have played a crucial role in addressing the constantly changing needs of many industries, spurring creativity in the manufacture of synthetic rubber materials. The durability, performance, and sustainability of synthetic rubber are improved by the advent of complex rubber formulas and compounds, increasing its appeal to a wide range of industries. Attending trade shows and other industry gatherings has also been essential to growing the business. These platforms facilitate knowledge sharing, teamwork, and networking possibilities while keeping companies abreast of the newest developments in synthetic rubber technology and trends. As businesses work to maintain their competitiveness and provide their customers with cutting-edge products, this in turn increases demand. Moreover, the growing focus on environmental responsibility and sustainability has propelled the market's growth. Growing popularity are recycled tire materials and biodegradable synthetic rubber, which complement Italy's environmental stewardship efforts. The market for recycled and environmentally friendly rubber products is expanding, as the in part to the efforts of industry, consumers, and regulatory agencies. These environmentally friendly choices not only lessen their effects on the environment but also cater to the preferences of conscious consumers.

The market is segmented based on the form of synthetic fibers into Solid and Liquid forms. Together, these two kinds account for a sizeable portion of the market and are essential to the industry. In many applications, solid synthetic rubbers have historically been the standard. Usually, these rubbers are treated and molded into rolls, sheets, pellets, or molded pieces, among other shapes and forms. Solid synthetic rubbers have many benefits, such as superior elasticity, toughness, resistance to heat and chemicals, and durability. Solid synthetic rubbers are extremely versatile and adaptable, which makes them invaluable in many different industries. Applications requiring smooth coatings and conformability are usually addressed by liquid rubbers. Based on the type of synthetic fiber used, Polybutadiene rubber is highly resilient and has excellent abrasion resistance. It remains flexible at low temperatures and offers good tensile strength; this has made it dominate the market. Another significant player is the Polyisoprene rubber which closely resembles natural rubber and is known for its high elasticity and low heat buildup. It has excellent resilience and low hysteresis. Polyisoprene rubber is used in applications where natural rubber-like properties are needed, such as in medical gloves, and rubber bands.

Based on the end-users, the market is segmented into automotive, consumer goods, industrial goods, chemical, medical, pulp & paper, and others. Synthetic rubbers play a pivotal role in the automotive sector, with tire manufacturing being one of their primary applications. Types such as styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) and polybutadiene are used to formulate tire compounds, enhancing traction, wear resistance, and fuel efficiency. Additionally, synthetic rubber components are widely employed for seals, gaskets, hoses, and engine mounts, contributing to the overall performance and longevity of vehicles. Along with this, the synthetic rubber materials are employed in the medical field due to their biocompatibility and sterilizability. Medical gloves, tubing, seals, and gaskets are commonly made from synthetic rubbers, ensuring hygiene, safety, and durability in various healthcare settings. These materials are essential for maintaining aseptic conditions and facilitating medical procedures. Beyond the sectors mentioned, synthetic rubbers find applications in numerous other industries. For instance, in the construction industry, they are used for sealing and insulating purposes. Aerospace and defense industries use specialized rubbers for applications requiring resistance to extreme temperatures and harsh conditions. In the electrical and electronics sector, rubber components are employed for insulation, cable jackets, and gaskets to ensure the safety and functionality of electronic devices.
