As industries require higher level of formulations with improved mechanical as well as thermal characteristics like higher wear and tear or heat resistivity, the use of intermeshing mixer is on the rise. These mixers are more uniform in their blending capacity, this versatility is critical to creating good rubber material that should meet high performance criterion.

By Application, Tire Manufacturing segment expected to held the largest share

• The largest application area of the rubber internal mixers is tire manufacturing segment owing to the rising market of automobiles. Internal mixers play a major role in the mixing of compounds used in the manufacture of tire, they help manufacturers in creating tires that are with the right attributes of performance and safety as well as durability. Thus, the rubber internal mixer market will also maintain its growth trend pursued by the constant demand for tires and, particularly, in the emerging markets.
• The further segments, such as rubber compounding and polymer blending segments are also being developed due to the increasing requirement of industrial level rubber materials. Special rubber compounds having particular property requirements for specific application like gaskets, seals and hoses have created a demand on rubber internal mixers that could deliver compound formulations of high quality.

Rubber Internal Mixer Market Regional Insights:

Asia-Pacific is Expected to Dominate the Market Over the Forecast period

• Asia-Pacific is the largest consumer of rubber internal mixer and key markets of this region are China, India and Japan. It is well known that the region is one of the leading producers of automotive and manufacturing industries hence a high market for rubber products and especially tires and industrial rubber products. China is one of the largest consumers of rubber buying a large chunk of rubber internal mixers used in tire production and other applications in rubber compounding.
