Thermoplastic Elastomers Market- Size, Growth, Demand and Research Report 2022


The Thermoplastic Elastomers Market Global Industry Report is projected to reach USD 28.27 billion by 2022, at a CAGR of 5.2% from 2017 to 2022


Thermoplastic elastomers possess properties of both, plastics and elastomers. They can be molded easily at room temperature by heating them. Due to a number of properties offered by them, which include heat stability, smoothness, wear resistance, chemical resistance, and scratch resistance, they are used in different end-use industries.

Bio-based thermoplastics are the upcoming trend in the thermoplastic elastomers market. The majority of thermoplastic elastomers are conventionally compounded and manufactured from raw materials based on fossil fuels. However, increase in the environmental awareness across the globe and fluctuations in the prices of petroleum drive the thermoplastic elastomers market towards the adoption of sustainable and green programs. As such, various guidelines have been formulated and implemented in the European and North American regions for the development of environment-friendly products. These guidelines accord preferential treatment to bio-based products procured by public institutions that meet the minimum renewable raw material content standards. The bio-based thermoplastic elastomers are made using several bio-based raw materials. Some of the predominantly used raw materials for manufacturing thermoplastic elastomers include starch ranging from 30% to 50%, castor & canola oils, polyols from vegetable oils & fatty acids, and corn & soybean oils.


The increased cost of petro-chemically derived monomeric raw materials has made bio-based thermoplastic elastomers economically competitive. Thus, the thermoplastic elastomers based on bio-renewable resources are expected to become popular during the forecast period, owing to increased awareness across the globe for environment sustainability. Among types, the thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPV) segment of the thermoplastic elastomers market is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPV) have excellent colorability, leading to their increased demand in developing interiors of automobiles. The growing demand for thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPV) as a replacement for polyvinyl chloride (PVC) in the healthcare industry is one of the major drivers for the growth of the thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPV) segment of the thermoplastic elastomers market. Thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPV) ensure low drug absorption. They are environment-friendly and offer optical clarity and toughness. Thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPV) are used in the manufacturing of catheters, blood bags, and disposable gloves. The growth of the thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPV) segment of the thermoplastic elastomers market can be attributed to rapidly growing automotive and medical industries in countries such as China and India of the Asia-Pacific region.
