Thermoplastic elastomers are a class of copolymers which have chemicals (usually a plastic and a rubber) with both thermoplastic and elastomeric properties. Rising per capita income, industrialization and growing concern over environment are driving the market of thermoplastic elastomers. Increasing demand in industrial & construction applications are adding to the growth of the market. Adding to this is the stringent government regulations to promote eco-friendly products have also resulted in high demand of thermoplastic elastomers.
Styrenic block copolymer is the major contributor to the thermoplastic elastomers market with increasing demand in developing countries such as China and India. Thermoplastic polyurethane find its key use in the construction as thermal and acoustic insulators. Automotive sector has seen the largest consumption of thermoplastic elastomers, which is the result of stringent regulations to use eco-friendly products as thermoplastic elastomers can be recycled usually. Asia Pacific ranks first in the market share for thermoplastic elastomers market resulting from emergence of new automobile manufacturing units and construction projects in developing countries. The market is highly competitive with some of the key players operating in thermoplastic elastomers market being large multinational companies such as DuPont, Dow Chemical Company and LyondellBasell Industries N.V., among many others.
