A considerable portion of Trelleborg’s operations lie within the framework of what is termed the industrial rubber sector. It is estimated that globally, this market generates sales of approximately SEK 600 billion annually. The European and North American shares combined comprise nearly 60 percent. The industrial rubber market comprises such product areas as antivibration, hoses and seals.
The market is fragmented, although a gradual process of consolidation is under way. The share covered by the ten largest companies has risen from approximately 15 percent to approximately 35 percent over the past five years. Trelleborg is playing an active role in this process.
