Rubber and Plastics Hoses and Belting Manufacturing in the US

Bouncing Back

The future of this industry is primarily dependent upon the downstream demand from manufacturing industries, due to the fact that belts and hoses are used in the manufacturing process. As capacity utilization increases, belts and hoses wear faster, requiring more frequent replacement. At the same time, industry products are also used as components in the manufactured items. The manufacturing sector is recovering from the recession of the early 2000s. Growth is expected to continue into the outlook period.

This industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing rubber hose and/or plastics (reinforced) hose and belting from natural and synthetic rubber and/or plastics resins.
