Technavio Announces Top Seven Vendors in the Global Neoprene Market from 2016 to 2020

LONDON--()--Technavio has announced the top seven leading vendors in their recent global neoprene market report. The report identifies the vendors based on their revenue and market dominance in terms of experience, geographical presence, product portfolio, financials, and R&D.

Competitive vendor landscape

Global capacity of neoprene is estimated to remain flat, but will be sufficient to serve the global consumption demand during the forecast period. Asia accounted for the largest share of exports and imports of neoprene. Asia was the largest importer of neoprene in 2015. It was also one of the biggest exporters of neoprene, with Japan accounting for 90%-95% of exports.

According to Chandrakumar Badala Jaganathan, a lead analyst at Technavio for research on plastics, polymers, and elastomers, ‘The Asian market is more or less a balanced market and will convert to a minor exporter during the forecast period. Japan is estimated to meet the demand of China and the rest of Asia.”

In North America, DuPont Dow Elastomers, a joint venture of DuPont and Dow, was the only producer. It shut down one of its two units and sold the other unit to the Japanese Denka joint venture (Denka 70% and Mitsui 30%). Along these lines, the primary North American producer has left the neoprene production.

Since the production of neoprene is limited to a few nations, there is a critical exchange of the neoprene products worldwide. Japan dominates the worldwide market as a net exporter while the rest of Asia (barring China and Japan) is the biggest importer.
