Other Rubber Product Manufacturing in Germany industry analysis

The industry of other rubber goods manufacturers in Germany is heavily dependent on trade relations with German vehicle manufacturers, as it acts as an important supplier in many areas. However, price pressure has increased significantly in recent years, as foreign competitors often offer cheaper products. To counteract this disadvantage, German rubber goods manufacturers are increasingly focussing on higher product quality and technical sophistication. They are also increasingly focussing on niche markets such as medical technology in order to tap into new growth opportunities. Since 2019, there has been an average annual decline in sales of 1.4 %. Although the rubber goods industry initially benefited from favourable economic conditions at the beginning of the past five-year period, the economic situation began to deteriorate in 2019. A recovery only set in again in 2021. The current high raw material prices are contributing to an increase in industry turnover. The players in the rubber goods industry have made price adjustments in order to pass on these increased costs to their customers. This may lead to an increase in industry turnover. It is expected that industry turnover will increase by 0.1% to €12 billion in 2024.The rubber goods industry is facing challenges due to increased energy and raw material prices. Sales to vehicle manufacturers and other industry customers such as mechanical engineering are declining due to the general slump in industrial production. The rise in oil prices since 2021 has put additional pressure on the industry, as this leads to higher costs for industry products and makes it more difficult to find customers. In addition, the use of synthetic rubber in the production of rubber goods is being viewed more critically against the backdrop of increasing environmental awareness, as it is mainly based on crude oil. The industry therefore needs to consider more sustainable solutions and alternative materials.According to IBISWorld forecasts, industry sales will grow by an average of 1.3% per year over the next five years, reaching 12.8 billion euros in 2029. The market exit of some players as a result of the crisis is likely to be offset by the entry of new players, particularly in market niches. At the same time, the number of employees is expected to increase slightly. At the same time, the industry is likely to drive forward a greater diversification of its offering.

Trends and Insights

  • Sanctions and supply chain problems in the wake of the war in Ukraine have caused raw material and energy prices to rise sharply. Chemical and plastics companies, for example, have had to cut back their production, which has made their products more expensive for rubber manufacturers.
  • Motor vehicle manufacturers are the largest sales market in the industry. Among other things, automotive hoses, moulded and rubber-metal parts as well as sealing materials for car bodies are used in the manufacturing process of motor vehicles.
  • The central region, an industrial centre, is home to the majority of rubber goods companies. Its proximity to the consumer markets offers a significant locational advantage.
  • Having a wide range of rubber goods is becoming increasingly important in a competitive environment. This is the only way to compensate for short-term slumps in sales in certain areas, which ensures market survival.
