Elastomers Market: Industry Analysis and Forecast (2022-2030) by Product, End User, and Region.
Market Synopsis
According to the MRFR analysis, the Global
Elastomers Market is expected to reach over ~USD 107.1
Billion by the end of 2025 at a CAGR of ~4.8%.
Elastomers are
amorphous polymers exhibiting characteristics of rubber in terms of flexibility
and elasticity. Various elastomeric products on the account of their high
abrasion and heat resistance are used in numerous industrial applications. For
instance, TPUs offer excellent mechanical strength and low creep thus are used
to manufacture conveyor belts. The rising demand for high-performance
elastomers in the automotive and medical industries are the key factors
favoring the growth of the elastomers market.
Pricing and
Regulatory Analysis
In 2018, the price of elastomers from USD 0.19 to USD 0.40 between 2016 and 2018 and
is likely to observe a gradual upsurge during the
forecast period owing to fluctuating raw material and crude oil prices.
The stringent
standards for elastomer analysis may favor the demand for elastomers during the
review period. Some of the standards are American Society for Testing and
Materials - ASTM D412, ASTM D624, ASTM D3182 ”and
International Standard - ISO 34-1:2015.
SEGMENTATION
By Type
- Thermoset Elastomers: These
polymers belong to the group of elastomers that cannot be molded once they
have been cured. Thus, on the account of their structural integrity
thermoset elastomers are widely used in high-temperature applications.
- Synthetic Rubber: The segment
held the largest market share in 2018 on account of its excellent strength
and flexibility. These elastomers are artificially synthesized and derived
from petroleum-based monomers.
- Styrene-Butadiene Rubber (SBR):
On account of its good abrasion and elasticity, it is widely used in
pneumatic tires. SBR on reinforcement exhibits higher strength and
durability.
- Isobutylene-Isoprene Rubber
(IIR): Owing to its low gas permeability and high resistance finds
applications in inner tires of cars, bicycles and other high-pressure
tubes.
- Nitrile rubber (NBR): It is used
in the applications that demand oil and heat resistance. Modified nitrile
rubber such as carboxylated nitrile rubbers (XNBR) and hydrogenated
nitrile rubbers (HNBR) exhibit high tensile strength and weather
resistance.
- Polybutadiene (PBR): It is
extensively used in various parts of automobile tires including sidewall
of truck tires and heavy vehicles for abrasion resistance.
- Others: The segment includes
acrylic rubber (ACM) and ethylene-propylene rubber (EPM), among others.
- Natural Rubber: It is a bio-based
elastomer obtained from the rubber trees. It is commonly known as Natural
Rubber Latex (NBL) and find wide applications in friction tapes, cement,
and adhesives. However, the natural rubber is usually vulcanized to
enhance the chemical properties.
- Thermoplastic Elastomers: It is
projected to be the fastest-growing segment during the forecast period due
to significant advantages over conventional thermosetting elastomers.
These elastomers are recyclable and are capable of being remolded.
- Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU):
On account of excellent flexibility over a wide temperature range and high
abrasion resistance, it is extensively used in a foray of industrial
applications such as seals and gaskets, sealants, andconveyor belts.
- Thermoplastic Styrenic elastomers
(TPS): They are styrene block copolymers with excellent flexibility and
elasticity and commonly used in footwear, belts, and adhesives.
- Polyether Block Amide (PEBA): It
is a high-performance thermoplastic elastomer. Due to its high flexibility
and low density, PEBA is used in sports applications such as racquet
grommets, golf balls, basketballs, and ski boots.
- Others:
The segment includes thermoplastics polyester-ether elastomer (TPE-E) and
thermoplastic polyamide elastomers (TPE-A), among others.

By End-Use Industry
- Automotive: The automotive
segment accounted for more than 62% market share in 2018. This is
primarily due to the increased use of elastomers in various applications
such as airbags, tires, gaskets, bumpers, and HVAC systems. In the
automotive industry, the demand for elastomers in interior applications is
expected to increase at a significant rate during the forecast period.
- Medical: It is projected to be
the fastest-growing segment during the review period. The increasing use
of elastomers on account of hydrolytic stability and ease of sterilization
in variety of applications such as peristaltic pump catheters, needleless
syringes, and valves is fueling the demand for elastomers in the medical
industry. Additionally, the rising innovations to develop bio-based
elastomers offers a wide range of opportunities to produce artificially
synthesized biocompatible organs.
- Electronics: A variety of
elastomers exhibit low electrical conductivity and thus are suitable for
insulation purposes. For instance, ethylene-propylene rubber is used to
insulate indoor and outdoor high voltage cables.
- Textiles: Elastomeric fabrics on
the account of their lightweight and stretchability are used in a variety
of garments including cycling shorts, swimsuits, and athletic wear.
- Others: The segment includes
aerospace & defense, oil & gas, and construction.
By Region
- Asia-Pacific: The regional market
held a dominant share in 2018 and is expected to maintain its dominance
during the review period. The increasing disposable income coupled with
expanding automotive and textile industries in the region are fueling the
regional market growth.
- North America: The market growth
is driven by the demand for high-performance elastomers in the aerospace
and medical industries.
- Europe: A firm market owing to
the demand for elastomers in the automotive industry. Additionally, the
rising automobile exports from the region is aiding market growth.
- Latin America: The growing
healthcare and electronics industries is driving the demand for elastomers
in Latin America.
- Middle East & Africa: The
expanding automotive industry and rising constructional activities in the
region are contributing to the regional market growth.
