As of September 14, 2026, the global rubber market maintains a strong and volatile trend. Major Southeast Asian rubber-producing areas are affected by frequent rainfall, restricting fresh latex output and keeping natural rubber RSS3 and TSR20 spot prices firm. Global supply shortage expectations continue to support market sentiment.
Butadiene raw material prices remain high, pushing up the cost of BR, SBR and EPDM synthetic rubber. Petrochemical plant maintenance limits synthetic rubber output. Downstream tire demand is steady, while general rubber goods manufacturers remain cautious with on-demand purchasing.
Rubber additives including zinc oxide, accelerators and sulfur are supported by high raw material costs and tight supply. EV tire business continues to bring incremental demand for high-performance rubber materials. RCEP regional rubber trade remains active, and the market is closely tracking weather impact, crude oil fluctuations and downstream new orders.
