Description

Definition and Scope:

The global Polyolefin Elastomer (POE) market is projected to reach USD 3611.11 Million in 2024. It is expected to grow to USD 6711.83 Million by 2033, registering a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.13% during the forecast period (2025–2033).

Polyolefin elastomer (POE) is essentially a random copolymer of ethylene and an α-olefin, with the α-olefin content generally no less than 20%. Due to its unique two-phase microstructure, POE combines the high elasticity of rubber with excellent thermoplastic processing properties. The emergence and development of POE are closely linked to the application of metallocene catalysts and the advancement of solution polymerization technology.

Structurally, POE mainly consists of a crystalline region of the carbon-carbon backbone (resin phase) and an amorphous region (rubber phase). The crystalline region of the carbon-carbon backbone serves as physical crosslinking points, while the introduction of α-olefins weakens the crystallinity of the backbone, forming an amorphous region that exhibits rubber-like elasticity. POE features a short branch distribution, granting it high elasticity, high strength, and high elongation. The copolymers polymerized using metallocene catalysts have narrow molecular weight distributions, reducing warpage during injection molding and extrusion, and ensuring low water vapor permeability. Saturated molecular bonds give POE excellent heat aging and UV resistance. The rubber phase provides elasticity, while the resin phase ensures good processability.

Currently, polyolefin elastomers are mainly classified into ethylene-propylene copolymers and ethylene/α-olefin copolymers. The former includes binary ethylene-propylene rubber (EPM) and ternary ethylene-propylene-diene rubber (EPDM). The latter includes ethylene/α-olefin random copolymers (POE) and ethylene/α-olefin block copolymers (OBC).

According to α-olefin content, polyolefins are divided into polyolefin plastomers (POP) and polyolefin elastomers (POE). POP contains 10–20% α-olefin with a relative density of 0.870–0.915, suitable for blown film, extrusion, and cast film heat-seal layers, applied in food packaging, hygiene products, elastic films, and personal care. POE contains more than 20% α-olefin with a relative density of 0.865–0.895, more suitable for modification applications, such as blending with PP/PE to improve toughness and transparency, with EVA foams to enhance compression recovery, or with PA/PT to improve impact resistance. POE is also widely used in photovoltaic encapsulant films, reducing potential-induced degradation (PID) in PV modules and extending cell lifetime.

From the supply side, the production technology and industrial-scale facilities for POE resin are currently concentrated among six major overseas chemical giants: Dow Chemical, LG Chem, Mitsui Chemicals, SSNC (a joint venture between SABIC and SK), ExxonMobil, and Nordic Chemicals. Each company’s production facilities are based on proprietary polymerization technology and metallocene catalysts, with a combined installed capacity of approximately 2.5 million tons per year. Considering that production lines can flexibly switch to POP (polyolefin plastomers), OBC (olefin block copolymers), or other elastomers, the actual POE production capacity is lower than publicly reported figures.

Dow Chemical is the world’s largest and most technologically advanced POE producer, with four production facilities in the U.S., Thailand, and Saudi Arabia, totaling 1.16 million tons per year, accounting for about 50% of the global market. LG Chem, SSNC, and Mitsui Chemicals follow closely, each with capacities exceeding 200,000 tons per year.

Meanwhile, Chinese companies are rapidly expanding capacity and are expected to become a significant global player in the POE market by 2025. Petrochemical companies across China are launching POE projects with a planned total capacity of 3.6 million tons per year. Currently, Wanhua Chemical is relatively advanced in industrialization, having successfully started a pilot plant in March 2021, with the first 200,000-ton-per-year industrial-scale facility expected to come online in the second half of 2024. Additionally, Shenghong Silbang and Sinopec Maoming Petrochemical completed pilot testing in 2022 and are currently constructing industrial-scale facilities, while other projects remain in the early planning stages.
