ANRPC revises global rubber consumption, production outlook

The Association of Natural Rubber Producing Countries (ANRPC) has revised global consumption for natural rubber (NR) outlook to 12.61 million tonnes this year, an 8.4% fall from 2019.

In view of economic activity revival across countries and a faster-than expected economic recovery in China, ANRPC anticipates consumption to perform relatively better during the remaining four months of the year, contracting only by 1.8%, year-over-year during the period.

The outlook for 2020 reported a month ago was 12.54 million tonnes by representing an 8.9% fall from the previous year, the association said in its Natural Rubber Trends and Statistics for September 2020, released today.
