Sri Lanka pioneered the Asian Rubber
industry in 1876, planting rubber trees in
Henerathgoda Botanical Gardens in Colombo.
Rubber Product manufacturing pioneered
by tyre re-trading began in the 1950s and
expanded rapidly after Free Trade Policies and
Investment Promotion Zones were introduced
in the late 1970s. In the last two decades
privately owned and operated Sri Lankan
industrialists have entered in to value added
rubber products in the global market.
Sri Lanka produces a wide range of value added
rubber products by processing raw rubber. These
range from extrusion products such as rubber
bands, beadings, latex products such as medical,
industrial and household gloves, industrial
products such as hoses, auto parts, industrial
components, tyres, tubes, automotive and
aviation tyres and general rubber products such
as floor mats, carpets, sports goods, footwear,
hot water bottles and related components.
Rubber being a tree crop which becomes productive under
certain agro-climatic conditions, commercial farming is
limited to areas that suits this climate. A rubber tree has
an economical life of about 25-30 years, while harvesting
commences at about 7 years after a tree is planted.
Continuous replanting takes place where older trees are
There are large-scale as well as small and medium scale
rubber product manufacturers and exporters in the country.
The industry provides direct and indirect employment
opportunities to over 300,000 people.
replaced at a rate of about 3% mature acreage
per year. A constant upgrade of all the plantation
sector goes on with improved planting stock being
developed to yield a higher output than earlier.
With the invention of a series of suitable new
clones by the Rubber Research Institute of Sri Lanka
relatively arid non–traditional regions have become
locations of interest to grow rubber.
Sri Lanka’s natural rubber has a high-demand in the world
market due to its unique properties. The country now has a
premium quality natural rubber type known as Lankaprene
which is odour free to a certain extent, light coloured, and
clean which is ideally suited for medical equipment and up-
market value added products.
Sri Lanka produces almost all types of Natural Rubber (NR)
available in the market including: Ribbed Smoked Sheet
(RSS), Latex Crepe, Sole Crepe, Scrap Crepe, all grades of
Technically Specified Rubber (TSR), Specialty Rubbers and
Latex Concentrate.
Apart from the specialty rubbers, around 60% of all other
types are locally consumed by the rubber manufacturing
industry.
Sri Lanka produces a wide variety
of rubber articles from both
latex and dry rubber. Tyres (solid
tyres, pneumatic tyres, bicycle
tyres, three-wheeler tyres and a
variety of smaller tyres) account
for the largest share of export
turnover which is 60%. Sri Lanka
currently dominates the export
of solid tyres, which is over 20%
of the global market demand.
All types of gloves including
industrial, household, agri-
cultural and healthcare takes
the second place and its share
is around 30% of the export
turnover.
The balance 10% is distributed
among items such as an
assorted range of floor mats,
sports articles, automotive
components, industrial goods
and household articles such
as hoses, sealing rings, rubber
bands, rubber sheets and
foam cushions.
The Rubber Research Institute of Sri Lanka (RRISL)
is the major government agency that conducts
Research and Development for increasing raw
rubber productions and the development of
manufactured rubber products. In addition,
several universities are also engaged in R & D
projects with the private sector involvement. Sri
Lanka has veteran rubber technologists and a
trained workforce. The Plastic and Rubber Institute
of Sri Lanka is the only institution which conducts
Graduate, Diploma and Certificate programmes
for Rubber sector related workforce. Several
private sector companies have also established
their own research centres.
The Rubber Industry in Sri Lanka caters to a
significant market share and has established
a reputation for quality and reliability. Sri
Lanka produces to international brands such
as CONTINENTAL, SOLIDEAL, WONDER GRIP,
MAPA, and SAFETY WORK among others.
Major Export Markets :
The United States, Germany, Belgium, Italy
and the United Kingdom are among those
markets
Semi processed rubber destinations are
dominated by Pakistan, Malaysia, India, Japan
and Germany.
