MARKET OVERVIEW

Natural rubber is an elastomer that consists of polymers of organic compound isoprene which was originally derived from latex, a milky colloid produced by some plants. In addition, it consists of minor impurities of other organic compounds and water. It is also called as natural rubber or caoutchouc. Natural gums are polymeric materials that give a thickening and gelling effect when they are dissolved in water. It is capable of increasing solution viscosity at small concentrations. Natural rubber is used in many applications and products, as it is made into synthetic rubber. It is used either alone or in combination with any other products. In most forms, it is extremely waterproof, high resilience and large stretch ratio. Natural gums are used extensively in food industry as gelling agents, thickening agents, stabilizers and emulsifying agents. It is also used as binding agents, crystal inhibitor, adhesive, clarifying agents and swelling agents in other industries. In most of cases, gum is extracted from woody elements of plants or seed coatings.The Latin America Natural Rubber and Gums Market is driven by factors like demand for natural rubber and gum, increasing rubber plantations, rising applications of rubber and gum in food, textile, chemical and other industries, favourable government reimbursements, increasing investments by private companies, new product innovations and technology advancements. However, lack of awareness in some areas, transportation and packing are hampering the growth of the market.
