A key driver behind the rise in rubber prices comes from a shift in the demand structure of the global tire manufacturing industry. The sustained high price of crude oil over the past several months has significantly increased the cost of producing synthetic rubber, forcing many businesses to prioritize the use of natural rubber to optimize costs.

In addition, consumer demand continues to be supported by the recovery of the automotive industry, particularly the new energy vehicle segment.
