THE FUTURE OF THE RUBBER MARKET. 



\Y/ ^^' RiCKiNSON & Sun, of London, supply the following in- 

 '''' • formation to assist those who are desirous of making a 

 forecast of the world's future production and consumption of 

 crude rubber : 



Taking the actual world's consumption of rubber during 1919 

 at 320,000 tons, an annual increase of IS per cent would raise the 

 demand to 643,634 tons in 1924. To meet this, plantation estates 

 would have to yield an average of between 450 and 475 pounds 

 per acre (see Table C). 



Consumption of rubber in the United States has shown an 

 average annual increase of 27.7 per cent during the past ten 

 years (see Table F). 



The increased demand for rubber in the United States during 

 the war was mainly for home consumption. 



Should an increasing world demand be maintained at about 

 25 per cent per annum, it would necessitate a yield from the 

 whole planted area in bearing of 716 pounds per acre to meet it. 

 It takes a shorter period to increase output on estates from 200 

 pounds to ,300 pounds per acre, than from 300 pounds to 400 

 pounds. 



Most (if the rubber produced is used for the manufacture of 

 tires, and if this demand is maintained during the next few years 

 there will not be enough rubber available, as only the present 

 planted area (2.9\0.7S0 acres") will be tappable during the next 

 five years. 



The average production during the last five years from Brazil 

 has been 35,171 tons, and of wild rubber for the same period 

 10,197 tons. 



The central European countries were large consumers before 

 the war and during the next few years their requirements will 

 no doubt be renewed on an increasing scale. 



The largest tire manufacturer in the world — an American 

 concern — contemplates increasing its output this year by 30 per 

 cent over 1919. 



.^s far as can be judged at the present time the years 1921-1923 

 will be as interesting for the rubber industry as were the years 

 1909-1911.
