Factors Affecting Natural Rubber Price Trend, Index, and Forecast

Supply Constraints: Production is limited by adverse weather (such as El Niño, floods, and heatwaves), aging plantations, and a shortage of skilled tappers. Seasonal pauses, like the cutting suspension in Asia, further tighten supply and support higher prices.

Rising Production Costs: Higher labor, fertilizer, energy, and transportation costs in major producing countries directly increase the cost of natural rubber, pushing prices upward.

Global Demand Growth: Strong demand from tire, automotive, and manufacturing sectors—especially in China, India, and Thailand—continues to outpace modest supply growth, keeping the market tight and prices elevated.

Inventory and Stock Levels: Low inventories can drive prices up as buyers compete for limited supply, while high stocks may temporarily ease upward pressure.

Supply Chain and Logistics Disruptions: Port congestion, shipping delays, and global logistics issues can restrict the flow of natural rubber, causing price volatility and regional differences.

Currency Fluctuations and Trade Policies: Changes in exchange rates, tariffs, and trade agreements impact import/export costs and regional price trends, adding to market uncertainty.

Competition from Synthetic Rubber and Oil Prices: Lower crude oil prices make synthetic rubber cheaper, which can reduce demand for natural rubber and put downward pressure on prices.

Geopolitical and Regulatory Factors: Delays in regulations (such as the EUDR in Europe) and trade tensions (e.g., US-China tariffs) can either support or suppress prices depending on market sentiment and policy direction.
