More Details

Mechanical rubber goods to remain largest segment
Mechanical rubber goods comprise the largest product segment in the US market, accounting for just under half of aggregate demand in 2007. Among these products are body seals, vibration control products, wiper blades and a variety of miscellaneous goods, such as bellows, bumpers, duct covers, mallets, pads, plates and trim. Suppliers of mechanical rubber products will benefit from an improved outlook for motor vehicles through 2012, as these products are highly represented in this market. Rubber hose and belt demand will also be fueled by the turnaround in motor vehicle production, as well as from strong growth in the aerospace and other transportation industries. Demand for rubber roofing membranes will be supported by continued strength in nonresidential building construction expenditures, as well as accelerating growth in residential building construction. However, other miscellaneous industrial products are expected to advance at the fastest pace through 2012, aided by solid growth in building construction expenditures, which will spur demand for rubber floor and wall coverings and geomembranes.

Aerospace and other transportation to be fastest growing market
Markets for industrial rubber products include machinery and equipment, motor vehicles, construction, and aerospace and other transportation, as well as a group of miscellaneous markets such as electrical and electronic equipment, appliances, and office equipment. The machinery and equipment market -- which includes industrial machinery and equipment as well as off-road vehicles -- will continue to comprise the largest share of aggregate demand in 2012. The aerospace and other transportation equipment market is forecast to expand most rapidly, albeit from a smaller base, supported by robust growth in aerospace equipment production.
