Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
- Rising demand for biocompatible elastomers from the medical industry
- Revolution in the automotive industry.
- Stringent environmental regulations on plastic consumption.
- Volatility in raw material prices.
- Growing demand for castor oil-based elastomers.
- Consumption of elastomers in 3D printing technology.
The key properties of thermosets, such as tensile strength, abrasion resistance, chemical resistance, ease of processability, and tear resistance, have attracted the attention of end-use industries. Thermosets are widely used in electronic components, adhesives, coatings, sports equipment, 3D-printed products, medical tubing, protective materials, and various automotive structural components. The growing consumption of lightweight vehicles further creates the demand for thermosets during the forecast period.
The growing production of EVs, consumer electronics, high-performance plastics, industrial products, and rapid industrialization in the Asia-Pacific region, combined with the expansion of Southeast Asian nations, opens up new markets for companies that make elastomers during the forecast period. Rising private and public investment in building and construction is further prompting elastomer manufacturers to enter the Asia-Pacific market. Additionally, the Asia-Pacific region is home to leading automotive manufacturers, such as Toyota Motor Corp., Honda Motors, Hyundai-Kia, SAIC Motor, FAW Group, Dongfeng Motor Corp., Nissan, and Tata Motors. Therefore, the Asia-Pacific market has enormous potential for elastomer consumption.
