Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM) Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges

Based on our research output, there has been a neutral impact on the market growth during and post COVID-19 era. The increasing demand for synthetic rubber is notably driving the ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) market growth, although factors such as volatility in raw material prices may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) market industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.

Key Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM) Market Driver

Increasing demand for synthetic rubber is one of the key factors driving the growth of the global ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) market. One of the major drivers of the growth of the global EPDM market is the growing demand for synthetic rubber. Synthetic rubber is an artificial elastomer produced using petroleum products. It exhibits properties similar to natural rubber. The different types of synthetic rubber include styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), butadiene rubber (BR), styrene block copolymer (SBC), EPDM, and nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR). Synthetic rubber has many advantages over natural rubber, including durability, high abrasion resistance, enhanced heat resistance, and ease in production. Moreover, the price of natural rubber is highly volatile and is one of the major reasons for consumers shifting to synthetic rubber. For instance, in June 2021, Celanese Corporation, a chemicals and advanced materials producer, acquired Exxon Mobil Corporation’s Santoprene TPV elastomers business for over $1 billion, with the aim of catering to the increasing demand for Santoprene TPV elastomers in electric vehicles (EVs). As EPDM is one of the key raw materials used in the production of Santoprene, such trends are expected to fuel the growth of the EPDM market during the forecast period.

Key Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM) Market Trend

Growing demand for bio-based feedstock will fuel the global ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) market growth. The use of bio-based feedstock in the manufacture of EPDM rubber is a growing trend. The development of renewable chemicals for manufacturing rubber is increasing rapidly to achieve sustainability and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. High prices and unreliable supplies of both petroleum raw materials and natural rubber have driven the use of renewable feedstocks to produce EPDM rubber. The major players in this market are focusing on producing synthetic rubber from bio-based raw materials. Sugar, glycerin, and other plant-based raw materials are evolving as economically viable materials to replace conventional feedstocks, including butadiene and isoprene. LANXESS, one of the major players, significantly invests in the development of renewable chemicals and advanced bio-feedstock. ARLANXEO, a joint venture between LANXESS and Saudi Aramco, produces an EPDM known as KELANTAN Eco, which is produced from bio-feedstock. The ethylene used in the manufacturing process of this EPDM is derived from ethanol produced from sugarcane. Thus, the focus of major market players on achieving cost-effectiveness and sustainability through the development of bio-feedstock will impact the growth of the global EPDM market.

Key Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM) Market Challenge

Volatility in raw material prices is a major challenge for the global ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) market growth. Price fluctuations of raw materials that are used for manufacturing EPDM pose a major challenge to EPDM manufacturers. Naphtha monomers such as ethylene and propylene, the major raw materials used in EPDM, are manufactured from compounds such as ethane and propane, which are derived from oil and natural gas. Therefore, the prices of these petrochemicals are dependent on the prices of natural gas and crude oil. Due to the demand-supply imbalance and global geopolitical instability, the volatility of crude oil and natural gas prices in the overseas market has increased. This has resulted in a significant increase in the prices of these major petrochemicals. However, The decline in crude oil prices forced the chemical industry to sell its finished products at low prices. Any fluctuation in the price of crude oil negatively affects the price of naphtha, which, in turn, affects the prices of ethylene and propylene, which are derived from naphtha. Therefore, fluctuations in crude oil prices pose a major challenge to the growth of the market in focus during the forecast period.
