The downstream production of NBR hoses in China remains at a low level of around 4.5%, while the production of rubber insulation foam is around 4.5%. The demand side is dragging down the NBR market.
SunSirs analyst believes that currently, NBR is supported by rising butadiene prices and costs, but downstream production is declining and demand is weak. In addition, the supply of NBR is expected to be tight in the later stage. Overall, it is expected that the NBR market will mainly narrow before the holiday.
