Rubber Conveyor Belts Market Highlights:
Rubber Conveyor Belts Market Overview
The Rubber Conveyor Belts market is projected to grow from USD 3700.22 million in 2021 to USD 5745.98 million by 2032, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.49% during the forecast period (2023–2032).
A conveyor belt is engineered to provide excellent rip, tear, and impact resistance in many applications, such as hard rock mining (limestone, granite, trap rock and other aggregates) and recycling. A rubber conveyor belt is made up of an abrasion resistant material, which is a blend of neoprene, nitrile, and styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) and inserted with a cloth fabric. The styrene butadiene rubber provides better durability, whereas, the neoprene and nitrile rubbers conveyor belt provide excellent chemical resistance, which resist the degrading effects of several chemicals and other petroleum-based solvents. The cloth-inserted rubber conveyor belt is an ideal for applications in various industrial machines, industrial level pads, strips, and flaps.
