Market Share

Regionally, Asia-Pacific holds the largest market share in the global EPDM rubber market, driven by booming construction output (projected to rise from US$ 9.7 trillion in 2022 to US$ 13.9 trillion by 2037) and automotive growth in China, India, and other emerging economies, supported by capacity expansions like Arlanxeo's 15% increase in its Changzhou plant.

Europe accounts for a significant share, influenced by strict environmental regulations and demand from automotive and construction industries for high-quality, durable materials.

The Asia-Pacific region is also expected to register the fastest growth, fueled by urbanization, infrastructure investments, and economies of scale reducing production costs.

Market Drivers

· Strong demand from the automotive industry for EPDM in hoses, tubing, expansion joints, and cable insulation due to its chemical resistance and reliability in fluid transfer and electrical systems.

· Expanding applications in building and construction for roofing membranes, window seals, and bridge expansion joints, bolstered by global infrastructure growth projected at US$ 4.2 trillion over the next 15 years.

· Innovations like specialized inks (e.g., Natron NxT Series in 2020) enabling printing on EPDM for products in sports, fashion, and manufacturing, broadening its use in consumer goods.

· Capacity expansions by producers to meet rising demand, achieving economies of scale and competitive pricing in high-growth regions.

· Versatility in electrical insulation and lubricant additives, supporting sectors like wires/cables and energy amid increasing electrification trends.

Market Challenges

· Cost fluctuations from raw material and energy price volatility, leading to supply chain disruptions, inventory issues, and reduced profit margins that limit R&D investments.

· High energy costs impacting production competitiveness, prompting industries to explore cheaper alternatives and affecting budgeting in automotive and construction.

· Supply bottlenecks from geopolitical events, such as the Russia-Ukraine war disrupting exports of synthetic rubber and carbon black (e.g., 240,000 tons of synthetic rubber to the EU in 2021).
