ANRPC releases Monthly NR Statistical Report, August 2025

I am pleased to present our analysis of the global natural rubber (NR) market for August 2025. This month, the natural rubber prices experienced a fluctuating trend due to several factors, including constrained supply and improving demand. Seasonal factors boosted consumption, particularly in China, where inventory reductions at major ports indicated improved demand. However, the rainfall and labor shortages in producing regions limited tapping activities, tightening supply. Here's a summary of the latest trends in the NR sector:

Recent updates from ANRPC member nations indicate that global natural rubber (NR) production is projected to rise modestly by 0.5% in 2025 compared to 2024. Concurrently, demand for natural rubber is expected to grow by 1.3% in 2025. The market sentiment became increasingly optimistic as purchasing interest grew, especially with the onset of the traditional peak season for natural rubber, particularly for all-steel tires and heavy-duty trucks.
