Carboxylated Nitrile Rubber Market Size

Carboxylated Nitrile Rubber Market size was valued at USD 4.18 billion in 2024 and is likely to cross USD 7.05 billion by 2037, registering more than 4.1% CAGR during the forecast period i.e., between 2025-2037. In the year 2025, the industry size of carboxylated nitrile rubber is assessed at USD 4.32 billion. Carboxylated nitrile rubber is often used in automotive applications such as oil seals, gaskets, and hoses due to its excellent oil resistance. The demand for this rubber can be closely tied to the health of the automotive industry. Carboxylated nitrile rubber is also used in the oil and gas industry for seals and gaskets in equipment that comes into contact with petroleum-based fluids. The performance of this rubber in harsh environments can make it valuable in this sector.

Carboxylated Nitrile Rubber (XNBR) is a type of synthetic rubber that is created through the carboxylation of nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR). This modification introduces carboxyl groups into the polymer structure, enhancing its performance characteristics. Carboxylated Nitrile Rubber offers improved oil resistance, abrasion resistance, and heat resistance compared to standard NBR.
