Read MoreWorldwide, demand for hydrogenated nitrile butadiene rubber (HNBR)s is rising with increasing consumption of HNBR in manufacturing industrial and medical gloves. As a rise in the number of industrial accidents and HNBR gloves are highly recommended in almost all major industrial applications. Thus drive the market for hydrogenated nitrile butadiene rubber during the forecasted period. Also, HNBR possesses excellent solvent or chemical resistance, along with the superior thermal stability, which makes it the most preferred material in manufacturing medical non-latex gloves. Additionally, HNBR has better ozone resistance, high strength, and better tolerance than NBR in oil drilling applications, it is expected to boost the HNBR market. However, the availability of substitutes such as thermoplastic elastomers might hamper the market growt
