Collection:: Economics Books

3 In some of the figures above, including those for France, Italy, Canada and Japan small quantities of Gutta-Percha, Balata, etc., are included. These are probably between 2,000 and 3,000 tons. Some 96 per cent. of the crude rubber produced is absorbed by the industries of 10 countries. Tt is with the industries in these 10 countries— with the exception of Russia for which no recent in- formation has been obtained—that we shall deal in this survey. The predominant position of the United States which alone absorbs about 60 per cent. of the production of crude rubber stands out clearly. In the United Kincdom. In the United States. VI—USE OF RUBBER IN DIFFERENT BRANCHES OF THE INDUSTRY. 19. Crude rubber is absorbed in the various branches of the industry in very different proportions in different countries. Figures based on manufacturers’ returns are available only for the United States. It is estimated that about 75 per cent. of the raw rubber absorbed in the United Kingdom industry is used in the manufacture of tyres. The remainder is about equally divided between mechanicals (belting, hose, packing, etec.); waterproof garments and rubber footwear; sports, surgical and hard rubber goods; and the requirements of other industries such as the insula- fion of wires and cables in the electrical industry, and elastic for she textile industry. 20. The following table, published by the Rubber Association of America shows how the rubber used in the United States is distributed. The figures represent over 90 per cent. of the rubber indugtry of the United States. Crude rubber consumed in the manufacture of rubber products in the United States during 1928.
