Tokyo, Dec. 13, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The global elastomers market size will reach around USD 104.75 billion in 2023. Elastomers are polymers having weak intermolecular interactions between the molecules that have both elasticity and viscosity. Elastomers are mostly thermoset but thermoplastic types are considered for injection of molding application. Elastomers have temperatures below room temperature used for glass transition which provides them with flexibility beyond transition temperatures. Elastomers have a high demand in different end-use manufacturing units due to ample flexibility. Prominent products using elastomers include adhesives, molded flexible parts in automotive and seals.

Market Dynamic
Drivers
Elastomers find a varied use in various end-use sectors such as medical, packaging, consumer goods, automobiles etc. Their vast applicability and usage, make them broadly used in different end-use industries. The demand for durable elastomers is rapidly increasing, especially for products that include exposure to the rough environment and extent the lifespan. Polymer shaping is a trending application of elastomers. Elastomers are majorly used in applications that need high-temperature resistance, oil resistance, high pressure, weather ability, exposure to ozone. Increasing demand for lightweight substances in the automotive industry to supply increased quality and design flexibility is mainly responsible for the growth of the TPE market.
Restraints
Moreover, fluctuating raw material rates hamper the cost of elastomers. Elastomers are usually quiet expensive as compared to other polymeric and plastic materials. Also, the incapability of elastomers to tolerate high load reduces its usage for many sectors. Owing to the difficult complicated recycling process, elastomers have to pass through various norms & regulations that restrict the market growth during the forecast period.
Opportunities
Elastomers are majorly used in belts and hoses, sound management inside the car, floors, bellows, gaskets and instrument panel skins. Development in the automobile industry is partly an outcome of increased manufacturers and of polypropylene consumption used in every car. Thermoset rubber is a variety of elastomer that is basically used to manufacture tires. Due to advantages like ease-of manufacturing, better design freedom, lightweight, versatility, and ability to be recycled, thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) are majorly used in the automobile and transport manufacturing industry.
Challenges
The changeability in crude oil rates leads to a fluctuation in the cost of synthetic rubber
Cost of crude oil and synthetic rubber have changed in sync as synthetic rubber is obtained with the help of crude oil. However, it has majorly affected the rates of naturally obtained rubber, being the alternative product in place of synthetic rubber. Recycling processes for elastomers are scarce and are available only in the instances of uncured elastomers, while most of them are processed systematically. Burning of elastomers produces emissions of hydrogen cyanide and carbon monoxide, both of which are hazardous for the environment.
Recent Developments
In December 2019, SirmaxSpA developed a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) compounding unit with a yearly strength of 30 kilotons of TPE in Poland to confirm its stand in Northern and Eastern Europe.
In September 2020, Ace Midwest LLC, which is a subsidiary of Ace Elastomer, made an announcement to include all the operating units of the Elastomer Processing Group rubber manufacturing business of RotaDyne, which will enhance the industry's goods portfolio and its elastomers market.
