Although Sri Lanka was traditionally known as a raw rubber exporter, developments during the last two decades have led to a situation where the country is considered as a major rubber product manufacturer and exporter. It has also become the market leader in some selected areas, while further progress in new fields is also being achieved with continuing consistency. The accompanying technology advancement has also been considerable and today, rubber products are manufactured in Sri Lanka following up to date technologies, and the products are exported to the entire world. Product diversification is also taking place while not losing the position already achieved in some core product areas. Industrial tyres, dipped latex goods, foam rubber, flooring, technical products, engineering components etc, constitute the important product mix.
