ネオプレンの市場レポート：製造ルート別、グレード別、用途別、エンドユーザー別、地域別、2025～2033年

世界のネオプレンの市場規模は2024年に446.4キロトンに達しました。IMARC Groupは、2033年には563.3キロトンに達し、2025～2033年にかけて2.49%の成長率（CAGR）を示すと予測しています。

ネオプレンは、クロロプレンのフリーラジカル重合によって人工的に製造される合成ゴムです。天然ラテックスゴムの耐油性代替品として1930年代に開発され、1931年にDuPontが最初に発売しました。ネオプレンは、天然ゴムラテックスや他の合成化合物よりも様々な利点があります。ネオプレンは、アルコール、オイル、酸などの酸化剤から強力に保護し、すべてのアセトン系溶剤に耐性を示します。また、傷などの物理的な障害に対しても高い耐性を発揮し、摩耗、屈曲、ねじれによる損傷にも強いのが特徴です。また、ネオプレンは、日光、オゾン、風雨にさらされても劣化せず、布地や金属との接着性にも優れています。さらに、ネオプレンは優れた化学的安定性を示し、広い温度範囲で柔軟性を維持します。天然ゴムに比べ、ネオプレンはガス透過性が高く、華氏200度までの高温に耐えることができます。このような高温下でもネオプレンは完全性を維持するため、天然ゴムと比較して高温下での長期使用に適しています。また、ネオプレンのポリマー構造は、製品のニーズに応じて、化学的・物理的特性を多様に変化させることができます。

ネオプレンの世界の需要は、その優れた物理的・化学的特性により、ここ数年継続的に増加しています。自動車産業はネオプレンの最大のエンドユーザーの一つです。自動車産業では、ネオプレンはタイヤ、オイルシール、パワートランスミッションベルト、ブレーキ・ステアリングシステム部品、ホースカバーなどの製造に使用されています。自動車産業以外では、建設産業の成長もネオプレンの需要を刺激しており、電気絶縁、窓、ドア、ファサードのシール、エレベーターのアストラガル、デビエーターパッド、高速道路や橋のシールなどに使用されています。

The global neoprene market size reached 446.4 Kilo Tons in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach 563.3 Kilo Tons by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 2.49% during 2025-2033.

Neoprene is a synthetic rubber produced artificially by free radical polymerization of chloroprene. It was first developed in the 1930s, as an oil-resistant substitute for natural latex rubber with DuPont being the first to market the compound in 1931. Neoprene offers various advantages over natural rubber latex and other synthetic compounds. Neoprene provides a strong level of protection from oxidizing agents such as alcohols, oils, and acids and offers resistant to all acetonic solvents. It also provides high resistance to physical failures like cuts and is resistant to damage caused by abrasion, flexing and twisting. Neoprene also does not degrade in the presence of sun, ozone or weather and provides excellent adhesion to fabrics and metals. Moreover, Neoprene exhibits good chemical stability and maintains flexibility over a wide temperature range. Compared to natural rubber, neoprene is more gas permeation resistant and can tolerate higher temperatures: up to 200 degrees Fahrenheit (F). Even at such elevated temperatures, neoprene maintains its integrity, making it better suited to long-term use in high temperature applications compared to natural rubber. Neoprene's polymer structure also allows it to be modified to create a material compound with a diverse range of chemical and physical properties, based on the product needs.

The global demand of neoprene has been increasing continuously over the last few years catalyzed by its superior physical and chemical properties. The automotive sector represents one of the biggest end users of neoprene. In the automotive industry neoprene is used in the manufacturing of tires, oil seals, power transmission belts, breaking and steering system components, hose covers, etc. Apart from the automotive industry, the growth in the construction sector is also catalyzing the demand of neoprene where it is used to provide electrical insulation; seals for windows, doors, and facades; elevator astragals; deviator pads; Highway and bridge seals, etc.
