The global EPDM market size was USD 856 million in 2021 and is projected to reach USD 1,214 million by 2026, at a CAGR of 7.2% between 2021 and 2026. EPDM is a copolymer of ethylene, propylene, and non-conjugated diene monomers. EPDM rubber provides resistance against heat, aging, UV, and ozone. However, EPDM shows poor resistance against hydrocarbon fuel and solvent. EPDM rubber finds its application in automotive, building & construction, wire & cables, lubricant additive, and plastic modification. The EPDM is market is expected to be driven by growth recovery in automotive sector during the forecast period. In automotive, EPDM rubber is utilized in weather stripping seals, hoses, gaskets O-ring, grommets, and other under-the-hood applications. Moreover, the growth of electric & hybrid vehicle will enhance the revenue opportunity for EPDM manufacturers. Eco-friendly production and bio-based EPDM are opportunities in EPDM market.
