basic information
Market value influenced by particle size and quality Global production is estimated at approximately 3.714 million tons, with an average selling price at the factory shipment stage of about $281 per ton. The top five companies account for only about 25.5% of sales share, and the market is dispersed due to differences in recovery systems, raw material procurement costs, transportation distances, and demand destinations. In addition to Genan, Liberty Tire Recycling, CRM Rubber, and Tyrecycle, the fine powder businesses of Lehigh Technologies and Tinna form a major group of companies. The global average gross profit margin is estimated at around 22%, with high-purity fine powders and micro-powders being easier to add value, while coarse products are influenced by freight costs and local processing expenses.

Applications/Examples of results
Conversion of Use and Technical Challenges The demand for rubber powder derived from waste tires is expanding beyond artificial turf infill and rubber mulch to include rubber-modified asphalt, molded and extruded products, automotive parts, building materials, paints, and composite materials. In July 2026, the Auckland Transport Agency began trials to utilize materials derived from used tires for road paving. The plan is to replace about 25% of the synthetic polymer in asphalt binders with recycled polymers, using approximately 1 ton to verify long-term performance. In these applications, in addition to the formulation amount, compatibility with binders, dispersibility, and durability influence the decision-making process.
