THE INTERNATIONAL RUBBER STUDY GROUP (IRSG)

The International Rubber Study Group (IRSG) is an inter-governmental organisation with the main objective of improving the transparency of the world rubber markets and strengthening international cooperation on rubber issues. The IRSG is the biggest worldwide community in the rubber economy. The IRSG is recognized as an International Body through the negotiation of a Headquarter Agreement with the Government of the United Kingdom in 1978. The IRSG has 35 Member Governments including European Union (28 Countries), Singapore, India, Sri Lanka, Russia, Cote D’ Ivoire, Nigeria, and Cameroon. Subsequently, a new Headquarter Agreement with the Government of Singapore was signed in 2008. The IRSG Secretariat is based in Singapore.

The mission of the IRSG is to be the world’s authoritative source of statistical data and forecasts for all aspects of the world rubber industry, including production, consumption and trade in rubber and rubber products. The seminal purpose of the secretariat is to prepare current estimates and forecasts of future supply and demand trends while undertaking statistical and economic studies on specific aspects of the industry to continually improve its value-added service to stakeholders. Furthermore, as the only intergovernmental organisation bringing together the world’s rubber-producing and consuming stakeholders, the IRSG strives to provide an effective forum for the discussion of matters affecting the supply and demand for synthetic rubber and natural rubber.

The Group is a platform for senior executives and representatives to provide insights through dedicated meetings, working groups, conferences, and projects. The annual IRSG meetings are amongst the largest regular assemblies of rubber experts worldwide. IRSG offers a unique opportunity to enhance collaboration beyond each company or organisation peer group and connect with young leaders and innovators or established entrepreneurs. The members, subscribers and partners represent governments, companies and organisations that are shaping and transforming the rubber industry in strategic and socially responsible ways.
