Report Coverage

This report focuses on The Manufacture of Other Rubber Products and includes comprehensive information on production, developments and investments, and trade, employment and other relevant statistics. It includes profiles of 22 companies such as ContiTech Africa, Dunlop Industrial Africa, the largest conveyer belt producer in Africa, and Fenner Conveyor Belting (South Africa). Other profiles include Hudson Rubber Company, the continent’s largest producer of extruded rubber products, Multotec, Transvaal Rubber Company (Truco), and Weir Minerals Africa.

Manufacture of Other Rubber Products

Challenging macro-economic conditions and rising input costs continue to have a significant effect on the performance of the local rubber products manufacturing sector. Roleplayers have identified competition from low-cost imports, load-shedding, high labour costs, low levels of spending on research and development and inadequate investment in new technology as some of the reasons for the lack of growth of the sector. In March 2020, companies in the sector closed due to the national lockdown, although some were allowed to carry on producing essential products.

Higher Volumes

The volume of rubber products produced and their sales value increased in 2019, in an environment of declining investment in local mine expansions and new mines, which affected demand for conveyor belt systems, a lack of skills development, low spending by state-owned enterprises, low economic growth, competition from plastic products and cheap imports, and low demand from the construction industry. There are opportunities, however, in the local manufacture of complex components for the automotive sector, increasing exports, diversification, and value-add services.

Opportunities for SMEs

The manufacture of other rubber products requires specialised machines, involvement in fairly complex value chains and technological knowledge. The barriers to entry for small businesses are therefore high in the manufacturing space, but there are opportunities for these companies to be involved as suppliers of goods and services to manufacturers.

Report Coverage

The Manufacture of Other Rubber Products describes the industry in South Africa, highlights current conditions, the effects of international developments and discusses factors influencing the success of the sector. Profiles are provided for 15 industry players, including major players Dunlop Industrial Products (Pty) Ltd, Fenner Conveyor Belting (South Africa) (Pty) Ltd, Nuvo Rubber Compounders (Pty) Ltd and Transvaal Rubber Company (Pty) Ltd t/a Truco. Also profiled are SMMEs such as Tensile Rubber (Pty) Ltd, which manufactures moulded rubber products and is involved in the development of new components, and Seal n Devices (Pty) Ltd, a rubber and polyurethane moulding company, specialising in rubber to metal bonded products, anti-vibration mountings, buffers, bushes, gaskets and specialised mouldings.

The Manufacture of Rubber Products, Excluding Tyres

The South African rubber products sector, which excludes the manufacture of tyres, generated sales of R16.2bn in 2015. South Africa’s industrial rubber manufacturers provide a range of products, some intermediate and others finished products created from natural synthetic rubber. Large quantities of natural rubber, which is suitable for the manufacture of conveyor belts, are imported, as South Africa does not have a climate suitable for large-scale rubber plantations. Synthetic rubber, which is manufactured from hydrocarbons, is produced locally and imported.

Challenges and Opportunities

As industrial rubber producers primarily sell goods into the mining and automotive industries, as well as the construction, printing and medical industries where in general growth has been low, no growth in the sector was recorded between 2014 and 2015. Future demand for products, especially intermediate products, is likely to be stifled because of low economic growth and political risk factors. However, although the industry is a net importer of products, South Africa is a net exporter in processed rubber products, and niche sectors where there is strong local demand for product, which in turn supports exports.
