Thermoplastic-Elastomer-Market-Scope.

Also, increasing consumer preference for high-performance cars is expected to fuel the growth of the market during the forecast period. Sports car sales in 2022 reached 830K vehicles as per estimations. These factors have led to growing thermoplastic consumption in end-user industries. Thermoplastic elastomers consist of both chemical and physical properties as compared to properties of thermosets, thereby gaining more preference in terms of application benefits. The high replacement rate of TPU and TPO as an alternative to ethylene propylene diene monomer in building materials is expected to drive the global thermoplastic elastomer market in the forecast period. TPEs are eco-friendly thermoplastics that can be reshaped and molded into any shape or size, therefore eliminating the wastage of materials. TPE offers more fuel efficiency in automobiles by lowering the car weight and density by substituting conventional components in and around the vehicle.

Global Thermoplastic Elastomer Market: Growth Drivers and Challenges

Growth Drivers

  • Elevating Preference for Lightweight Vehicles – Lightweight vehicles are in demand owing to reduced fuel consumption. The replacement of cast iron with thermoplastic elastomers decreases the weight of the vehicle thereby increasing the efficiency of engines. The reduction of 10% weight of vehicles is estimated to enhance global fuel economy by 6-8%.

  • Increasing Automotive Industry – According to studies manufacturing of motor vehicles and parts in North America raised from ~USD 961 million in 2021 to USD 992.3 million in 2022.

  • High Use of Electronics and Electricals – The exported value of electrical machinery and equipment and parts in 2021 was approximate ~USD 3,594,456,634.

  • Reduction of Carbon Emission – The annual CO2 emissions raised from 35.45 billion tons in 2016 increased to 36.65 billion tons in 2018.

  • Rising Thermoplastic Consumption – The exported value of plastics across the world in 2021 was worth USD 799,110,485.

Challenges

  • Price Volatility of Raw Materials – The exhaustion of raw materials such as fossil fuels resources along with indefinite crude oil prices performs as the biggest challenge for the market growth. This would restrict the production of raw materials for TPEs, therefore affecting the market growth. Additionally, strict regulations by governments and usage of non-renewable resources will pose a risk to the supply chain which will again hinder market growth.
  • High Cost of Thermoplastic Elastomers
  • Lack of Technical Expertise

Global Economic Impact

Request Insights
Despite Inflation & Fearing Recession, Businesses Across the Globe Expected to Do Better in 2023:

In 2023, market players might incur losses due to huge gap in currency translation followed by contracting revenues, shrinking profit margins & cost pressure on logistics and supply chain.
Controlling Inflation has become the first priority for global economies from last quarter of 2022 and to be followed in 2023. With skewed economic situations, rise in interest rate by governments to control spending and inflation, spiked oil and gas prices, high inflation, geo-political issues including U.S. & China trade war, Russia-Ukraine conflict to intensify the global economic issues.
The interest rates in the U.S. may be less sensitive in 2023 as compared to 2022; sigh of relief for businesses. Positive business sentiments, healthy business balance sheets, growth in construction spending (private construction value in 2022 stood at $1,429.2 billion, 11.7 percent (±1.0 percent) above the $1,279.5 billion spent in 2021, Residential construction in 2022 was $899.1 billion, up by 13.3 percent (±2.1 percent) from $793.7 billion in 2021, non-residential construction touched $530.1 billion, 9.1 percent (±1.0 percent) above the $485.8 billion in 2021.) showcases minimal impact of recession in the country.
Similarly, spiked spending in the European and major Asia economics including, India, China & Japan to showcase less impact on the global demand.
