The synthetic rubber and polymer industry is commonly seen as a realm reserved for some of the largest petrochemical corporations. This belief keeps a very large proportion of MSMEs away from a sector which, in reality, has a lot of strong opportunities downstream.<\/p>\n<p>The fact is that the manufacturing of synthetic rubber and polymers is a layered value chain. While the upstream production of monomers and resins is capital intensive, downstream activities like compounding, blending, masterbatch manufacturing and performance plastic processing lend themselves well to MSMEs.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Department of Chemicals &amp; Petrochemicals, petrochemicals are the key input for automotive, infrastructure, textiles, agriculture, packaging and electrical equipment industries. Production figures reveal that polymers\/olefins alone account for almost six out of ten percent of total petrochemical production, clearly revealing the existence of strong and consistent downstream demand.<\/p>\n<p>For entrepreneurs, this is an indication of space to enter the value chain at a stage where profitability is related to the formulation performance rather than the production volume.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_84 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-white ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.niir.org\/blog\/synthetic-rubber-manufacturing-business-india\/#Read_More_The_Complete_Book_on_Rubber_Processing_and_Compounding_Technology_4th_Revised_Edition\" >Read More: The Complete Book on Rubber Processing and Compounding Technology (4th Revised Edition)<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.niir.org\/blog\/synthetic-rubber-manufacturing-business-india\/#What_Can_Indias_Petrochemical_Production_Mix_Tell_Us\" >What Can India&#8217;s Petrochemical Production Mix Tell Us<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.niir.org\/blog\/synthetic-rubber-manufacturing-business-india\/#Why_Synthetic_Rubber_and_Polymer_Manufacturing_is_Suitable_for_MSMEs\" >Why Synthetic Rubber and Polymer Manufacturing is Suitable for MSMEs<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.niir.org\/blog\/synthetic-rubber-manufacturing-business-india\/#Rubber_Compounding_for_Automotive_and_Industrial_Use\" >Rubber Compounding for Automotive and Industrial Use<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.niir.org\/blog\/synthetic-rubber-manufacturing-business-india\/#Read_More_BUTYL_RECLAIM_RUBBER_%E2%80%93_Manufacturing_Plant_Detailed_Project_Report_Profile_Business_Plan_Industry_Trends_Market_Research_Survey_Manufacturing_Process_Machinery_Raw_Materials_Feasibility_Study_Investment_Opportunities_Cost_and_Revenue\" >Read More: BUTYL RECLAIM RUBBER &#8211;
