Thermoplastic Elastomers Market Trends, Product, Region, Challenges and Forecast to 2026: DowDuPont Inc., Arkema Group, Asahi Kasei Corporation, PolyOne Corporation, Elastron Kimya SA

Thermoplastic Elastomers Market

The global thermoplastic elastomers market was valued at US$ 22.57 Bn in 2017, according to Thermoplastic Elastomers Market Report, by Product Type (Styrenic Block Co-polymers, Co-polyester, Polyurethane, Polyamide, Thermoplastic/Elastomers Blend & Alloy, Polyolefin, Vulcanizates, Reactor-made Thermoplastic Polyolefin Elastomers (R-TPO), Polyolefin Plastomers (POP’s), and Polyolefin Elastomers (POE’s)), by Application (Automotive Parts, Wires & Cables, Coating, Adhesive & Sealant, Paving & Roofing, Housewares & Appliances, and Others), by End-use Industry (Building & Construction, Automotive, Packaging, Footwear, Consumer Electronics, and Others), and by Region (North America, Latin America, Asia Pacific, Europe, Middle East, and Africa), published by Coherent Market Insights.

The global thermoplastic elastomers market is projected to reach US$ 37.03 Bn by 2026, exhibiting a CAGR of 6.1% during the forecast period. Due to increasing demand for lighter vehicles, TPE is expected to find increasing applications in the automotive sector. Furthermore, growing demand for bio-based thermoplastic elastomers is driving growth of this market. Hence, players in the market are manufacturing bio-based thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) compounds that contain raw materials from renewable resources such as plant and vegetable crops. This is expected to be a major growth opportunity for key players in the market. For instance, in 2016, Hexpol developed Dryflex Green, a new series of thermoplastic elastomer composed of around 90% renewable contents such as plants, sugarcane, and agricultural wastes.

However, TPE materials have lower chemical and environmental resistance, as it melts or becomes soft at high temperature and loses its elasticity, which is expected to restrain growth of the thermoplastic elastomers market.

Key Trends and Analysis of the Thermoplastic Elastomers Market:

• Among product type, styrenic block co-polymers segment is expected to gain major traction, which in turn is expected to favor growth of the thermoplastic elastomers market over the forecast period. Vulcanizates segment is expected to be the fastest growing segment over the forecast period, owing to its increasing applications in automotive parts, building materials, sporting goods, appliance parts, and others.
• Growing medical equipment manufacturing industry is expected to drive growth of styrenic block co-polymers segment and in turn fuel growth of the thermoplastic elastomers market, globally. For instance, according to the India Brand Equity Foundation, medical devices industry in India was valued at US$ 10 billion in 2017 and is expected to reach US$ 25 billion by 2025, with a CAGR of 12.15%.
• However, TPE materials loses its surface hydrophobicity in short time when used in outdoor applications, especially in high voltage insulation applications, and they need to be disposed off properly and should not be burnt, as it emits harmful isocyanates and caprolactam, which are potential pollutants and carcinogenic agents. These restraints are expected to negatively affect growth of the thermoplastic elastomers market during the forecast period.
