Description

This report forecasts to 2029 US thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) demand in metric tons. Total demand is segmented by product in terms of:

thermoplastic polyolefins (TPOs)

polyolefin elastomers (POEs)

styrenic block copolymers (SBCs)

thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPVs)

other products such as thermoplastic polyurethanes and copolyester elastomers

Total demand is also segmented by market as follows:

motor vehicles

asphalt and roofing

adhesives, sealants, and coatings

consumer goods

other markets such as industrial products, packaging, and medical products

To illustrate historical trends, total demand and the various segments are provided in annual series from 2019 to 2024.

For the purposes of this report, a TPE is defined as any thermoplastic material that exhibits elastomeric properties; TPEs therefore offer the functional performance characteristics of thermoset rubber, but are processed using the methods and machinery of rigid thermoplastics.

SBCs that do not exhibit elastomeric properties (i.e., high styrene products that contain roughly 60% or more styrene) are excluded from the scope of this report.

While TPOs and TPVs are “polyolefin elastomers” in a technical sense, they are defined separately for the purposes of this report. Furthermore, vulcanized olefin elastomers such as ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) and ethylene-propylene rubber are not TPEs and are thus excluded.

Compounds with vulcanized elastomers are considered to be TPVs rather than TPOs. Various sources and manufacturers differ on the degree of vulcanization required to define an olefinic TPE as a TPV, so estimates of current global demand can vary.

Key macroeconomic indicators are also provided with quantified trends. Other various topics, including profiles of pertinent leading companies, are covered in this report. A full outline of report items by page is available in the Table of Contents.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
