Analysts’ Views on Global Thermoplastic Elastomer Market

Thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) are a class of materials that combine properties of thermoplastics and elastomers. It is a diverse family of rubber-like materials that, unlike conventional vulcanized rubber, can be processed and recycled like thermoplastic materials. They exhibit characteristics of rubbery elastomers and rigid thermoplastics, making them versatile materials with a wide range of applications. Its rubber like properties have enabled TPE to replace rubber significantly in several applications. TPEs are used in automobile parts, medical devices, footwear, adhesives, household goods, and more where they offer elasticity benefits over a wide temperature range. Thus, there is an increasing demand for thermoplastic elastomers worldwide.

Key Trends and Analysis of the Global Thermoplastic Elastomer Market:

Increasing demand for bio-based thermoplastic elastomer is one of the key trends expected to drive growth of the global thermoplastic elastomer market. For instance, in June 2023, Avient expanded its reSound BIO biobased and reSound REC recycled content TPE portfolios with the launch of a new range of halogen-free flame-retardant (HFFR) grades containing recycled and biobased resin. This range has been developed to meet the growing demand for consumer electronics made with sustainable raw materials and meet strict FR compliance without compromising performance and processability. This trend is expected to continue over the forecast period.

Global Thermoplastic Elastomer Market – Drivers

Increasing demand for electric vehicles to propel market growth

With the changing regulatory scenario and government policies to support electric vehicles (EVs) and rising penetration of EVs across the world, the use or demand for thermoplastic elastomers is also increasing with a rapid pace, as Thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) are used to provide several high-performance characteristics in electric vehicles. By 2030, the Government of India intends to have an EV sales penetration of 30% for private cars, 70% for commercial vehicles, and 80% for two and three-wheelers. NITI Aayog has inspired 25 states to come up with EV policies, of which 15 have already announced state EV policy.

Increasing demand for medical elastomers to drive market growth

Thermoplastic elastomers (TPE) are suitable for a wide variety of uses in the medical device and pharmaceutical markets. TPEs are used as surgical elastomer wipes, as tapes for gauze bandages, for disposable surgical gowns or tourniquet bands. TPEs are the premier choice for medical grade flexible thermoplastics for medical devices. TPEs provide medical designers with a range of soft-feel, hygienic materials that can readily fulfill accepted medical industry standards. In November 2022, Hexpol TPE launched line of medical TPEs with bio-attributed content to expand company’s growing portfolio of materials based on non-fossil feedstocks.

Global Thermoplastic Elastomer Market – Restrain

High cost of TPE materials to hamper the market growth

One of the key factors expected to hamper the growth of the global thermoplastic elastomer market is the high cost of thermoplastic elastomer materials. For instance, as compared to other materials, such as rubber, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyurethane, and polyethylene, the production process for thermoplastic elastomers is complex and a capital intensive. The high investment requirement in thermoplastic elastomers process restricted its use in high-scale applications. Moreover, there are several other products that have properties like TPEs and are relatively cheaper than TPE, and thus, the use or demand for such products is increasing with a rapid pace, worldwide.
