Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer(EPDM) Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis By Application (Automotive, Building & Construction, Wires & Cables, Rubber, Lubriucant Additives, Other) and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM) is a type of synthetic monomer having saturated chain of polyethylene type. It is made by cross-linking propylene, ethylene, and a diene comonomer. EPDM is compatible to fireproof Hydraulic fluids, alkalis, water and ketones. It exhibits exceptional resistance to heat, electricity, steam, ozone and climatic conditions. It is available in various range of molecular weight which can be achieved by varying the levels of constituent content.

Rising demand from automotive sector for hoses, sealing, mechanical goods, brake parts, wipers, windshields and other application is driving the market. Additionally, use of EPDM as lubricant additive, roofing material and waterproofing is boosting the market. Most of the EPDM manufacturers are partnering with automotive producers in order to produce noise reduced cars.

However, the rising environmental concerns regarding the emissions of VOC’s during the manufacturing process of EPDM is likely to hinder the market growth.

Market Segmentation:

Based on application, the market is segmented into automotive, wires & cables, rubber, building & construction, lubricant additives and others. From a geographical standpoint, the market is categorized into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East and Africa.

Key Players Covered:
