The Association of Natural Rubber Producing Countries (ANRPC) releases the Monthly NR Statistical Report, January 2025.
I am pleased to present an analysis of the global natural rubber (NR) market for February 2025. Throughout this month, NR prices experienced considerable fluctuations, though moving towards an upward trend compared to the previous month nonetheless. This positive movement in the market can be linked to several key factors such as the postponement of EUDR, strong demand from the tyre industry, and the US tariff policies.
Following the holiday season, China experienced an increase in demand fuelled by a rise in tyre production in downstream sectors. This information, along with further analysis, is included in this month's report. Below is a summary of the latest trends in NR sector:
Recent updates from ANRPC member countries (AMC) indicate that global NR production is projected to see a marginal increase of 0.4% in 2025 compared to 2024, influenced by revisions in India's production figures for 2024. Additionally, the demand forecast for 2025 shows a slight rise, estimated at 1.7%. For more comprehensive insights and detailed analysis, please refer to the full report.
