บทคัดย่อ (EN): Rubber industry across the globe is undergoing tremendous pressure due to ever-growing demand from customers and volatile market. Now, with the phenomenal growth of automotive and tyre industries, there is an increasing demand for rubber. The tyre industry being the largest consumer of the rubber is most affected by any Fluctuations in the market, whether it is soaring natural rubber prices or crude oil prices. The challenges for tyre industry are highly fluctuating price of natural rubber and crude oil prices resulting in escalating cost of synthetic rubber, ever increasing consumption demand from growing economies like India and China, etc. Challenges faced due to decline in production of natural rubber, owing to climate change, shortage of cultivable land, high labour cost. Lingering fear of South American Leaf Blight (SALB) etc. have forced rubber manufacturers to turn towards synthetic rubber alternatives. Besides crude oil prices, synthetic rubber market is also subject to environmental regulations, etc. which has raised a question mark over its future. There are several other challenges owing to obligations like REACH norms, tyre labeling, low rolling resistance and reduced carbon footprints. REACH requires ‘downstream users’ such as the tyre and rubber industry to gather information on the properties of the substances that they use, to promote their safe management and to progressively substitute the most dangerous substances with safer alternatives. Tyre labelling requires the manufacturer to display information on the fuel efficiency, wet grip and external rolling noise of tyres with an aim to increase safety, environmental and economic effi8ciency of road transport by promoting fuel-efficient and safe tyres with low noise leveis. Efforts for the eco-friendliness of tyres are growing, though, with an emphasis for using bio-based raw materials. Tyre companies are investigating more speculati8ve ways to use sustainable and renewable rubber formulations, including latex derived from alternative sources. Tyre industry is also keen in reducing overall CO2 emission in the manufacturing process. In this journey, concepts like incorporation of fillers in the manufacturing process. In this journey, concepts like incorporation of fillers in latex stage can make a revolutionary change. Another challenge nowadays is the end life of tyre management. Tyres are banned from landfills in most of the developed countries. Various efforts are currently underway in many countries where different legal systems exist to reduce the number of tyres in landfills and to find innovative, environment friendly uses for end of life tyre. Scientific community in tyre industry, research institutions, and academia should join hands together to meet these challenges.
