The automobile industry is directly related to rubber industry. The growth of the industry and importance of rubber goes hand-in-hand. It is a known fact that 75% of rubber produced in the world is used in the production of tires. The automotive industry dominates the rubber industry, both directly and indirectly. When we talk about direct intervention, we mean the original equipment tires and many other elastomeric items fitted to the car during manufacture, and indirectly, it is in terms of replacement items like tyres, wiper blades and to an ever-decreasing extent other items. The tires, engine mounts and wiper blades are usually made from natural rubber. Many of the other items used in the automotive industry are made from synthetic rubber, although more natural rubber could be used (in combinations) in extruded weather seals. Some items used in the engine compartment are manufactured from high value synthetic rubbers like for instance, hose for air-conditioning, engine seals, etc.
