By Application, Automotive accounted for the largest share in 2022
In the forecast period, the automotive segment within the EPDM market is anticipated to experience the most substantial compound annual growth rate (CAGR) in terms of value.
EPDM rubber plays a significant role in the manufacturing of rubber parts utilized in automotive vehicles. China, renowned for its automotive market, particularly stands out as a pivotal player. The country is actively promoting the development of new-energy vehicles (NEVs), encompassing fuel cell electric vehicles (FCVs), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), and battery-electric vehicles (BEVs). According to the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (CAAM), the total production of cars in 2021 witnessed a 3% year-on-year increase, indicating a steady growth trajectory. NEVs are projected to represent 25% of sales by 2026, underlining the nation's commitment to sustainable transportation solutions.
Within the automotive industry, EPDM finds extensive usage in various applications including hoses, gaskets, body sealing, weather-stripping, brake parts, windshield wipers, and other under-the-hood components.
By Manufacturing Process, Solution Polymerization Process accounted for the largest share in 2022
The Solution Polymerization Process segment holds the largest share in the EPDM market in 2022. Commercially, EPDM can be produced through three primary processes: solution, slurry (suspension), and gas-phase methods. These processes leverage advanced polymerization and catalyst technologies, offering the flexibility to tailor polymers to meet specific application and processing requirements. Among these methods, the solution polymerization process stands out as the most prevalent and versatile method, capable of producing a diverse array of polymers to suit a wide range of applications.
