Automotive Elastomers Market size was USD 77.15 Billion in 2021 and is expected to increase by USD 96.60 Billion by 2026 at the CAGR of about 4.6%. Rapid growth in industrialization in various economic countries as China and India and growing urbanization in the areas lead to the growth of the market.
Market Driver and Restraints:
The increasing lightweight vehicles, stringent regulatory environment and rising demand in emerging nations. The properties as deficient intermolecular strength, low modulus of elasticity and high strain of failure when compared to other materials propel the Automotive Elastomers Market growth. There are two significant elastomers currently in use these days as synthetic and thermoplastic. Automotive elastomers are used in the manufacture of components that withstand extreme temperatures as insulators, seals, bushes, engine mounts, hoses, and gaskets. The automotive industry grows at a decent pace, as the production of automobiles has increased to fulfill the demand of a growing population with rising income levels. Increasing passenger and commercial vehicle demand and applications for sealants, adhesives and flexible molded parts for industries other than automotive as consumer goods, sports and building and construction fuels the supply chain of manufacturers.
The rising expendable incomes of consumers and high living standards push growth for better cars and prompting the need for elastomers — increasing demand from the automotive industry and rising thermoplastic elastomer processing industry. The introduction of stringent emission norms and growing preferences toward high-efficiency automobiles boosts the market for automotive elastomers.
High constant changing prices of raw materials and high cost of production of high-temperature elastomers tend to restrain the market for automotive elastomers market.
Many new products and applications are manufactured by SABIC, Houston that provides its new metallocene-based polyolefin specialty elastomer and elastomer copolymer. The major result of this formation is happening in a joint venture with Korea's SK Global Chemical. This has made SABIC the newest entrant in any business in the field of plastic modification and film application.
Automotive Elastomers Market Segmentation:
Type, the segment has multiple forms as natural rubbers, butyl elastomers, butadiene elastomers, ethylene-propylene elastomer, polyisoprene elastomer, nitrile elastomer, silicones, polychloroprene elastomers, acrylic elastomers, fluoroelastomers, styrene block copolymers, thermoplastic polyolefins, thermoplastic polyurethanes, thermoplastic vulcanizates, thermoplastic copolyesters, and thermoplastic polyether block amides.
The application segments have formed as tire and non-tire. Tire application is projected to lead the market for automotive elastomers. The various forms of automotive elastomers are NR, SR that has further sub-segments as SBR, IIR, BR, CR, NBR, ACM, EPDM, IR, Silicone and fluoro-elastomer and TPE (SBC, TPU, TPO, TPV, TPC, and PEBA). The demand for general purpose NR is valued high in all the regions because of the superior properties and the growing automotive industry worldwide.
Automotive Elastomers Market Geographical Segmentation:
Market Regional Condition:
Geographically, the market can be segmented for automotive elastomers as North America, Europe, and South America, Middle-East & Africa, and Asia-Pacific region. India forms the Asia-Pacific region tends to provide high values for the market as the demand for automobiles is rising at a fast pace. The availability of cheap labor and other resources contribute to the growth of automotive manufacturing contributes towards the growth of the market.
