By End User – Segment Analysis

The automotive and transportation sector holds the largest share in the performance elastomers market in 2019 and is growing at a CAGR of 8.10%, owing to improved heat and chemical resistance, low intermolecular strength and low modulus elasticity of high-performance elastomers in the applications of automotive and engine construction. Also, the demand of automotive products in various regions is gradually increasing because of infrastructural development and urbanization growth. There is an increasing demand of performance elastomers from the manufacturers for the production of interior units of automobile such as air bags due to recent sanctions levied on automotive manufacturers, which made airbags compulsory for all cars across the globe. Thus, driving the performance elastomers market in the automotive and transportation sector.

By Geography – Segment Analysis

Asia Pacific region holds the largest share in the performance elastomers market in 2019 up to 30%, owing to rising demand of performance elastomers from the automotive and transportation industries. In 2015, the Australian federal government Implemented stringent regulations to adopt vehicle emission standards in the region. Regulations regarding emission levels led the manufacturers to design vehicles to be compact, lightweight, and more efficient. Manufacturing of such vehicle requires various components to be in close proximity with each other, resulting in increased heat levels. Thus, to operate under such rough conditions there is a demand for performance elastomers in the automotive and transportation sector in the region, which will likely propel the performance elastomer market in the APAC.

Drivers – Performance Elastomers Market

Increasing Demand from End-Use Industries

Rapid industrialization in various regions are increasing the demand for performance elastomers in the market. They are extensively being used as modifiers for plastic and adhesive raw materials in gas & oil sectors for exploration and production. Performance elastomers such as neoprene and silicone are being widely used in electronic and food & beverage sectors as they offer good dielectric properties, excellent abrasion, impact, water, flame resistance and Outstanding UV, ozone and weather resistance properties. All these varied properties are leading to rise in demand of performance elastomers from various end use industries. Healthcare industries are also anticipated to grow the performance elastomers market due to increasing utilization of performance elastomers in the orthotic and prosthetic applications.

Superior Properties than Standard Elastomers

The standard elastomers are being replaced by performance elastomers because of their unique set of properties such as durability, flexibility, heat resistance, chemical resistance, aging resistance, huge variety oil & gas resistance, outstanding performance and long life cycle. Performance elastomers such as silicone elastomers are boosting heat resistance over 300°C by using polysiloxane additive. These superior properties of performance elastomers over standard elastomers are anticipated to drive the global performance elastomers market during the forecast period.

Challenges – Performance Elastomers Market

High Production Cost

Expensive components are needed during the manufacture of silicone such as copper metal and hydrogen fluoride. Performance elastomers such as silicone elastomers costs more due to the high energy costs associated with its manufacturing process i.e. transformation of sand to high purity silica, then further refinement of silica to polymerize it. The prices of elastomers may vary widely due to differences in compounding, filings, raw material and processing costs. High production cost may act as a restraint to the market growth.

Market Landscape

Technology launches, acquisitions and R&D activities are key strategies adopted by players in the performance elastomers market. Major players in the performance elastomers market are E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Company (U.S), Arlanxeo (Netherlands), Zeon Chemicals L.P. (U.S), Solvay S.A. (Belgium), Mitsui & Co. Ltd. (Japan), Dow Corning Corporation (U.S), Wacker Chemie AG (Germany), JSR Corporation (Japan), Momentive Performance Materials Inc. (U.S), Showa Denko K.K. (Japan), Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company (U.S), Shin-Etsu Chemical Co. Ltd. (Japan) and Daikin Industries Ltd. (Japan).

Acquisitions/Technology Launches

In October, 2018 Solvay S.A. increased the company’s Tecnoflon® fluoroelastomer production to support continuing strong global customers’ demand for high performance sealing applications.

In March, 2019 JSR Corporation launched new styrene-butadiene copolymer rubber (SBR) for automotive tires. The new SBR features significantly improved durability, wear resistance and mechanical strength.

Key Takeaways
