INDUSTRY PROFILE:
In its native Central America and South America, rubber has been collected for a
long time. The Mesoamerican civilizations used rubber mostly from Castillo elastic. The Ancient
Mesoamericans had a ball game using rubber balls (see: Mesoamerican ball game), and a few
Pre-Columbian rubber balls have been found (always in sites that were flooded under fresh
water), the earliest dating to about 1600 BC, According Bernal Diaz del Castillo, the Spanish
Conquistadores were so astounded by the vigorous bouncing of the rubber balls of the Aztecs
that they wondered if the balls were enchanted by evil spirits. The Maya also made a type of
temporary rubber shoe by dipping their feet into a latex mixture. Rubber was used in various
other contests. Such as strips to hold stone and metal tools to wooden handles, and padding for
the tool handles. While the ancient Mesoamericans did not have vulcanization, they developed
organic methods of processing the rubber with similar results, mixing the raw latex with various
saps and juices of other vines, particularly ipomoea Alba, and a species of Morning glory.
In Brazil the natives understand the use of rubber to make water resistant cloth. A
story says that the first European to return to Portugal from Brazil samples of such water
repellent rubberized cloth so shocked people that he was brought to court on the charge of which
craft.
When samples of rubber first arrived in England, it was observed that a piece of
the material was extremely good for rubbing out pencil marks on paper. This was the origin of
the materials are still used for this purpose, and known as Rubbers in British English, causing
occasional amusement to speakers of American English, to whom a Rubber is a condom
(usually made from latex) (American English uses Eraser to refer to the rubber block).
The Para rubber tree initially grew in South America, where it was the main source of
what limited amount of latex rubber was consumed during much of the 19
th
century. About 100
years ago, the Congo Free State in Africa was a significant source of natural rubber latex, but
after repeated efforts (see Henry Wickham) it was successfully cultivated in Southeast Asia,
where it is now widely grown.

Indian scenario
Since the establishment of the first rubber goods manufacturing unit in 1921 at
Kolkata, the Indian rubber industry has maintained its forward march, particularly during the
post-independence period. It has achieved overall expansion through increase in the range of
products manufactured, in the number of units, in technological sophistication and self-
sufficiency. Besides catering to the entire domestic demand, the industry is breaking new
barriers on the export front. It projects tremendous growth in the 21st century. The factors
responsible for this phenomenal expansion are vast internal market, rapid industrialization,
on-going economic reforms, and improved living standards of the masses.

India is the fourth largest producer of natural rubber and second largest
consumer of natural rubber; and fifth largest consumer of natural rubber and synthetic rubber
together in the world. India is the worlds largest manufacturer of reclaim rubber. India is
first in productivity of natural rubber. The per capita consumption of rubber in India is only
990 gms. against 9 to 16 kilos in Japan, USA and Europe. This envisages tremendous growth
prospects of the industry in the years to come.

With around 6000 units comprising 30 large scale, 300 medium scale and
around 5670 SSI / tiny sector units, manufacturing 35000 rubber products, employing
directly 400 hundred thousand people, including around 22000 technically qualified support
personnel. The Indian Rubber Industry plays a core sector role in the Indian national
economy. The industry has certain distinct advantages like - an extensive plantation sector;
indigenous availability of the basic raw materials, like natural rubber, synthetic rubber,
reclaim rubber, carbon black, rubber chemicals, fatty acids, rayon, and nylon yarn and so on;
large domestic market; availability of cheap labor; training facility in various technical
institutes; improved living standards of the masses. All these ground support help the Indian
rubber industry to poise for an all round development and a quantum jump in production and
technology up gradation in near future.


The wide range of rubber products manufactured by the Indian rubber
industry comprises all types of heavy duty earth moving tyres, auto tyres, tubes, automobile
parts, footwear, beltings, hoses, cycle tyres and tubes, cables and wires, camelback, battery
boxes, latex products, pharmaceutical goods, besides moulded and extruded goods for mass
consumption. The products manufactured also cover hi-tech industrial items. The important
areas which the industry caters to include all the three wings of defense, civil, aviation,
aeronautics, railways, agriculture, transport as also textiles, engineering industries,
pharmaceuticals, mines, steel plants, ports, family planning programmes, hospitals, sports,
i.e. practically to every conceivable field.

India rubber industry is basically divided into two sectors - tyre and non-tyre.
The tyre sector produces all types of auto tyres, conventional as well as radial tyres and
exports to advanced countries like USA, EU etc. The non-tyre sector comprises the large,
medium scale, small scale and tiny units. It produces high technology and sophisticated
industrial products. The small-scale sector accounts for over 50% of production of rubber
goods in the non-tyre sector. The Indian rubber products have been exported to around 190
countries in the world including USA, Russia, UK, Bangladesh, Italy, Nepal, Germany,
Oman, France, Saudi Arabia, UAE, African countries etc. and exports have gone up
manifold.

The yardstick to measure the growth rate of the industry is rubber consumption. Besides
yearly consumption of rubbers - natural, synthetic and reclaim, there are other raw materials like
carbon black, rubber chemicals, tyre cords, plasticizers, process oils, zinc oxide, stearic acid,
titanium dioxide, and other miscellaneous chemicals which are mostly available indigenously.
This apart, almost all types of major rubber machinery are being manufactured in the country.
