Asia
In China, the average prices of Chloroprene Rubber were ~USD 5,504.00/MT (FOB) in July and ~USD 5,559.04/MT in August, showing a ~1.0% increase. India saw a smaller rise, with average import prices moving up about 0.7% from ~USD 5,611.70/MT (CIF) in July to ~USD 5,650.00/MT in August. Most Chinese chloroprene rubber is made through the calcium carbide route. Carbide costs fell to a low at the end of July but rebounded through August, which lifted production costs. Butadiene, used by Japanese and Western producers, also rose in August on low inventory. In September, costs climbed across China's rubber supply chain, and a leading Japanese producer announced price increases on all grades from late September. Demand in Asia Pacific held up better than in other regions, which helped producers pass on costs.
Europe
In Germany, chloroprene rubber averaged approximately USD 5,638.70/MT (CIF) in July and rose to about USD 5,673.00/MT in August, an increase of ~0.6%. Higher import costs from Asian producers, linked to rising feedstock costs, were the main driver. Growing EU new car registrations supported demand for hoses, belts and seals. However, weak overall synthetic rubber demand in the region kept the increase limited.
North America
In the USA, average chloroprene rubber import prices increased slightly from nearly USD 5,691.70/MT (CIF) in July to roughly USD 5,715.00/MT in August, a rise of ~0.4%. The region's only chloroprene rubber plant remained idle, leaving buyers fully dependent on imports. A recent environmental settlement also set new waste rules if the plant ever restarts, adding uncertainty over any return of local supply. However, weak synthetic rubber demand in the Americas and lower quarterly vehicle sales kept this the smallest increase among the regions.
Analyst Insight
According to Procurement Resource, chloroprene rubber prices are likely to firm slightly as higher feedstock costs and producer price increases take effect, though weak demand may limit further gains.

Asia
In China, the prices of Chloroprene Rubber were ~RMB 37.95/kg in April and ~RMB 37.55/kg in May of second quarter of 2026, showing a ~1.1% decrease. The decline was linked to weaker local raw material support and cautious downstream buying. Chinese butadiene and calcium carbide softened through Q2, reducing cost pressure for domestic producers. Demand from rubber and plastic products stayed supportive, with manufacturing output up 6.2% year-on-year in May, while automobile manufacturing rose 8.3%. However, motor vehicle output fell 3.2% year-on-year, showing that demand from hoses, belts, molded parts, and adhesives was not strong enough to lift prices.
Europe
In Germany, the prices of Chloroprene Rubber were ~EUR 4.85/kg in April and ~EUR 4.84/kg in the following month, showing a marginal decrease. Europe stayed broadly stable as supplier price revisions and higher energy, fuel, auxiliary material, and petrochemical costs supported offers. However, the market lacked strong demand pull. Automotive demand helped, with EU new car registrations up 4% year-to-date through May, but construction-related consumption stayed weak. Building construction fell 5.2% year-on-year, limiting demand from adhesives, waterproofing, civil engineering rubber components, and coated applications.
North America
In the United States, the prices of Chloroprene Rubber were ~USD 5,645.87/MT in April and ~USD 5,669.01/MT in the subsequent month, showing a ~0.4% increase. The small rise reflected supplier cost pass-through and firmer automotive demand. U.S. new-vehicle sales were estimated at 1.36 million units in June, up 7.2% year-on-year, supporting chloroprene rubber use in automotive parts and industrial rubber goods. Construction was weaker, with May spending 1.5% below the previous year, limiting stronger demand from sealants, waterproofing, and construction adhesives.
Chloroprene Rubber (CR) is a synthetic rubber that is also known as Neoprene. The properties of CR are well-balanced and include good chemical stability and utility over a broad temperature range. It exhibits good resistance to ozone cracking, heat ageing, and chemical attack because of its low reactivity. For instance, it has only moderate or poor resistance to acids, solvents, and fuels, but good resistance to many chlorofluorocarbons, aliphatic hydrocarbons, mineral oils, greases, and ozone.

A butadiene chlorination in the vapour phase is followed by the polymerization of a free-radical emulsion in the integrated process. First, 1,4-dichloro-2-butene and 3,4-dichloro-1-butene are formed by chlorinating butadiene. After that, 3,4-dichloro-1-butene isomers are produced from the 1,4-dichloro-2-butene isomers, which are then further dehydrochlorinated. Caustic soda facilitates the dehydrochlorination, which results in the production of sodium chloride and chloroprene. Chloroprene rubber is the end result of the polymerization process that the produced chloroprene goes through.
