The global ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) market is consolidated. This is because of a few players accounting for a substantial share in it. In 2015, the leading six companies held almost 80% share in it. Those were LANXESS AG, Mitsui Chemicals, ExxonMobil Chemical Company, Kumho Polychem, Lion Copolymer LLC, and the Dow Chemical Company. These companies still continue to hold a prominent position but are gradually losing share to new players entering the fray.

Going forward, the global ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) market is expected to see intensified competition. This is because of the influx of new players. This is expected to make the market somewhat fragmented.

A report by Transparency Market Research on the global ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) market finds that it would rise at 5.4% CAGR from 2016 to 2024. Rising at this pace, the market which was worth US$2.63 bn in 2015 is predicted to achieve a value of US$4.20 bn by the end of 2024.

USPs of Durability and Temperature Resistance Drives Uptake of EPDM

There are numerous USPs of EPDM that is driving its uptake in different areas. Foremost among those is their high density and durability. They are resistant to abrasives and temperatures, solvents, and tearing. It has high elasticity at both high and low temperatures. This makes EPDM perfect for electrical insulation and lamination. And owing to the organic growth in the end use industries using EPDM for various purposes, the global ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) market’s growth would remain supported too.

Posing a challenge to the global ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) market is the fluctuating raw material prices. This affecting the bottom line of companies, thereby dampening market growth to an extent.
