Earlier Report Observations

The Czech synthetic rubber market volume increased from 205.1 тыс. т in 2020 to a peak of 233.9 тыс. т in 2021, then contracted over the following two years to 191.5 тыс. т in 2023. By 2024, the physical market size stabilized at 191.0 тыс. т.

In value terms, the market reached its highest point at $452.3 млн in 2022. This surge was driven by global factors, including heightened demand from the electric vehicle industry and volatility in crude oil-linked feedstock prices, which elevated synthetic rubber costs. A sharp correction followed in 2023, bringing the market value down to $331.2 млн.

From 2023 to 2024, the market entered a phase of stabilization, with value settling near $329 млн and volume holding steady. The earlier price inflation and subsequent adjustment reflected the absorption of global automotive sector dynamics and input cost swings.
