Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer Market

EPDM Market: an Overview and Dynamics

EPDM also known as ethylene propylene diene monomer is a synthetic versatile rubber used in variety of applications including automotive, construction, HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) etc. EPDM is a copolymer of ethylene, propylene and diene monomers due to which it offers several beneficial properties like excellent heat and aging resistance.

Owing to its excellent resistivity against environmental factors such as UV and weather conditions it has emerged as a choice of material in building and construction applications. Other bundled advantages such as high electrical insulation and more resistance against water than any other rubber available in the market, EPDM is set to become the choice of rubber in HVAC applications.

Efficacy to offer impressive insulation and exceptional noise reduction offered by EPDM it has been used in the automotive industry for the range of applications including but not limited to door, window, and trunk seals and window spacers. Attributed to widespread applications in automotive, it has become the largest consumer of EPDM and is set to augment the market growth during the forecast period.

Further, attributed to EPDM’s exceptional insulation and operating temperature range from -50o to 177o Celsius it has become ideal material in HVAC applications. Increasing demand for EPDM in HVAC for applications like compressor grommets, mandrel formed drain tubes, pressure switch tubing, and panel gaskets and seals are set to fuel the market growth. Attributed to aforementioned facts, the global EPDM market is poised to embark on a positive growth trajectory, registering a CAGR of ~3 over the forecast period (2020-2030).

COVID Impact Insights

The spread of the coronavirus has forced nearly all countries to impose lockdowns and strict social distancing measures. This has forced to shut down almost every production plants across the globe. Spread of coronavirus has halted any kind of activity across borders affecting supply demand equations.

Fear of coronavirus has affected every industrial activity in every sectors and so the EPDM market. As per new normal, chunk of peoples are working from their home which has declined automotive sales by over 70 to 80%. Automotive industry being a primary consumer of EPDM will have direct impact on the market.

Further, other important sector for EPDM market is construction industry which is going through huge recession due to coronavirus outbreak and is set to impact the market’s growth till construction industry recovers.
