The global synthetic polyisoprene rubber (SPR) market is poised for robust expansion through 2035, fueled by electric vehicle (EV) tire innovations, latex allergy avoidance in healthcare, and bio-based material advancements. According to Future Market Insights (FMI), the market is valued at USD 3.65 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 7.07 billion by 2035, expanding at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.8%.
The FMI report, “Synthetic Polyisoprene Rubber Market Size, Share, and Forecast 2025–2035,” indicates global revenues will grow by USD 3.42 billion over the decade, propelled by surging demand for high-purity elastomers in medical disposables and low-rolling-resistance tire compounds.
A Decade of Growth Anchored by EV Adoption and Sustainability:
The shift from natural latex to synthetic alternatives, combined with EV-specific tire formulations, is redefining market trajectories. Between 2025 and 2030, the SPR market will expand by USD 1.62 billion, led by healthcare conversions and automotive electrification.
Between 2030 and 2035, FMI forecasts an additional USD 1.80 billion in market growth, reflecting scaled bio-isoprene production and stricter ASTM/EN medical standards.
“EV OEMs are mandating solution-polymerized isoprene for grip and efficiency,” said Nikhil Kaitwade, FMI research analyst. “Meanwhile, hospitals are accelerating latex phase-outs, with polyisoprene gloves retaining 18% more tensile strength post-sterilization per 2024 Rubber Chemistry studies.”
