Brand Elements
Malaysia’s exports of rubber products recorded an exceptional growth of 50.6% in 2021 which grew from the RM40.96 billion it recorded in 2020 to RM61.68 billion. This was contributed by a surge in global demand for personal protective equipment (PPE) including rubber medical gloves.
Malaysian rubber products are exported to more than 190 countries. The U.S.A. and EU (EU-27) remained the largest markets for Malaysian rubber products, accounting for a combined 58% share of total exports of rubber products in 2021. Malaysia remains the world’s leading supplier of medical gloves (examination and surgical gloves), supplying more than 50% of the global demand in 2021. Malaysia is also one of the world’s leading suppliers of condoms and latex thread (in value terms). The global demand for rubber products over the last ten years was attributed to the growing demand for medical gloves, rubber automotive components, engineering applications, consumer products and the emergence of rubberwood for biomass purposes.
Inspiring Identity
MRC’s rebranding and transformation in 2020 gave MRC new mandates to spur the growth of the rubber industry.

MRC will remain steadfast, and to the best of its ability, the company intends to establish a stronger foothold in the global value chain and continue contributing positively to Malaysia’s GDP.
