• Restraints facing the global elastomers market include environmental issues and government regulations.
• Opportunities that await the industry include rising construction activities in the Asia-Pacific region and BIO-TPEs, which is an emerging segment that is promising significant growth.
• There are two types of basic elastomers available and consumed in the market: thermoset elastomers and thermoplastic elastomers. The types of elastomers vary depending upon the distribution and degree of chemical bond.

“In the construction industry, elastomers are used in the form of adhesives in day-to-day operations,” the report notes. “The product is also used for filling crack and gaps throughout the building process. The demand for elastomers in the construction industry in Asia-Pacific region is projected to increase at a rapid rate during the forecast period. Construction industry demands are expected to boost the sales of elastomers in the region during the forecast period.”
