Rubber Testing Equipment Market Analysis
The rubber testing equipment market was valued at USD 12.40 billion in 2020 and is expected to reach USD 16.09 billion by 2026, at a CAGR of 5% over the forecast period 2021 - 2026. The rubber demand is positively influenced by the constant efforts directed toward strengthening global economies, industrialization, and rapid urbanization. The intensifying construction activities, on account of industrialization and urbanization, combined with the steady rise in the production of automobiles, is expected to primarily contribute to the growth of the rubber testing equipment market.
- Owing to the snowballing consumer demand for long-lasting goods, products like hoses and belts are expected to witness a steady rise in the demand. There can be a substantial requirement for rubber roofing, as the construction sector witnessed robust growth. The manufacturing industry is also expected to contribute to the growing demand, as it continues to record growth at an effective rate.
- The market outlook is positive, and region-wise analysis of the market reveals that growth is mainly concentrated in Asia-Pacific, which is also the largest producer of rubber, globally.
- There have been several technological developments in the market, ranging from inclusion of automated techniques, to the advent of software management tools and intelligent testing techniques. In addition to the growing demand for durable goods, which require testing during design and production, these technological advancements are expected to majorly drive the market’s growth.

Rubber Testing Equipment Market Trends
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Rubber Testing Equipment Market according to our research experts:
Tires Demand Have Driven the Rubber Testing Equipment Market
- Rubber testing equipment for tires is widely used for determining the tensile strength and elongation of rubber and other materials. The equipment is specially designed for dynamic and static testing of tires. It identifies the tire performance and attributes and defines the effect of the tire’s design on the dynamics of the vehicles.
- Tire testing encompasses a detailed analysis of several properties, such as durability and endurance, force, moment, indoor tread wear, accelerated aging, government regulatory testing, and failure analysis.
- The increasing number of vehicles with the presence of off-the-road tires i.e. OTR, heavy truck tires, and light truck and passenger car tires, has driven the rubber testing equipment market, globally. Evolution of different types of tire testing techniques, such as endurance testing and radical run-out testing, has further boosted the growth of the market.
- Global sales of passenger cars reached over 78 million vehicles in 2017. Along with China, the United States is among the most significant automobile markets worldwide, both in terms of sales and production. Over 6.3 million passenger cars were sold to US customers, and around four million cars were produced in the United States in 2017.
