Competitive landscape – Crumb Rubber market

The market for recycled materials is expected to grow due to a growing focus on environmental preservation and sustainability. Industries are prioritizing the use of recycled materials like crumb rubber to reduce waste and carbon footprint. The demand for resilient materials in infrastructure projects, particularly in roads and bridges, is also driving the market. Global investments in these projects have led to a demand for affordable solutions that can withstand high traffic volumes and environmental challenges. The Emanuel Tire Family of Companies, Entech Inc., Liberty Tire Recycling, Mahantango, Sunflex Recycling Pvt Ltd., Tinna Rubber and Infrastructure Ltd., tire Disposal & Recycling, and Tracc Tire Recycling are some of the major competitors in the global crumb rubber market. To increase the size of their customer base worldwide, these businesses are putting growth tactics including partnerships, acquisitions, collaborations, mergers, and product launches into practice. 

For example,
CEMEX has introduced RUBBERMIX ASPHALT, a crumb rubber solution that uses used tires in asphalt mixes as part of its climate action strategy, Future in Action. This innovative solution uses shredded waste tires, which are also used for football pitches and soft play floors. It allows end-of-life tires to be recycled, creating new roads and life within the tires. The product is suitable for local authorities and housebuilders, providing quality control and consistent performance as standard asphalt. CEMEX's climate action strategy aims to lead the construction industry in environmental sustainability.

For example,
ITOCHU Corporation has agreed to acquire Murfitts Group Ltd, a UK-based tire recycling company, through its subsidiary EUROPEAN TYRE ENTERPRISE LIMITED. Murfitts collects and processes around 20 million post-consumer car tires annually, using the recovered material to manufacture recycled products. The acquisition will improve Murfitts' tire collection and processing offerings. Murfitts has developed a proprietary pyrolysis technology to recover high-value materials like carbon black and recycled fuel oil, promoting sustainability in the tire industry. ITOCHU's Brand-new Deal 2023 includes business transformation, incorporating consumer needs into products, and contributing to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The acquisition of Murfitts through ETEL aims to reduce waste and make the tire value chain more sustainable.

Crumb Rubber Market Analysis

The crumb rubber from passenger cars and the crumb rubber from commercial vehicles make up the two product type segments. In 2023, the commercial vehicle segment's crumb rubber held a dominant market share of approximately XX%. A commercial motor vehicle is any vehicle used to transport people or products for a business to make a profit. Among the vehicles are buses, taxicabs, semi-trucks, coaches, vans, box trucks, pickup trucks, and trailers. These vehicles drive farther and faster than passenger cars because of the nature of their work. Their tires are of a better caliber. Because they operate regularly, they produce more tire waste. It is cost-effective for makers of crumb rubber to process these tires. These can be purchased in large amounts. Thus, the segment's dominance in the global crumb rubber market can be explained by the substantial presence of commercial vehicles worldwide and the substantial waste creation of the category.
