World Rubber Demand Surges as Regulation Caps Quotas
The International Rubber Regulation Committee set the crude rubber quota at 90 percent for the second half of 1937, down from 170 percent earlier. The motor industry consumes about 70 percent of world rubber, with over a million tons used yearly and more than 200,000 tons drawn from reserves. In 1936, 5.5 million new vehicles boosted tyre needs to roughly 29 million tyres and tubes, plus substantial gaskets. Modern tyres contain more rubber, with balloon tyres using about 2 pounds more per tyre and trucks’ tyres using even more. Demand rises as car production expands, and rubber prices soar accordingly.
