Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer Market Trends

Rubber Roof Demand Growth Drives Market Growth

Market CAGR for ethylene propylene diene monomer is being driven by the rubber roof demand growth. EPDM rubber products are widely utilized in the building and construction industries due to its UV and Ozone resistance, long life, and suppleness. EPDM is primarily utilized for its weather tightness, resistance to damage and durability, air-barrier continuity, and temperature resistance, and it can be used for the lifespan of the frame around which it is put. Due to its rubber substance, it is also widely utilized in residential roofing. According to the European Union, building construction increased by 4.6% in December 2021 and civil engineering climbed by 3.3% compared to 2020. EPDM rubber roofing is comprised of recycled materials, which means it does not hurt the environment, does not pollute rainfall, and is resistant to UV radiation. Also, as compared to standard roofing, which must be replaced every 10-15 years, these EPDM can endure up to 50 years. They are also relatively simple to maintain, which reduces maintenance expenditures.

When compared to other rubber gaskets, EPDM rubber gaskets have several advantages. They can withstand tough climatic conditions and are designed to provide long-lasting and dependable sealing capabilities over a wide temperature range of -60° F to 300° F. It is stronger than silicon and neoprene, which are also used to make rubber gaskets, due to its high tensile strength. EPDM rubber gaskets are more resistant to abrasion and severe chemicals such as acids and alkalis.

Its heat resistance and stability make it suited for steam-based applications. EPDM gaskets provide excellent electrical insulation as well as resistance to UV light, aging, wind, rain, and ozone. They are also colorfast and will not discolour adjacent surfaces. EPDM is a strong, resilient, and cost-effective material that performs well in a variety of gaskets, including outdoor, electrical, and open-joint gaskets. EPDM gaskets are commonly employed in applications containing hydrocarbon lubricants and petroleum compounds due to their characteristics. Because of its outstanding insulating capabilities, EPDM gaskets are frequently employed in the medical and electrical industries. As a result, the increased production and acceptance of EPDM gaskets is fueling market expansion.

Another factor of market growth is the increasing demand for Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM) in the automotive industry. EPDM is commonly used in the automotive sector to make parts such as door seals, weatherstrips, and hoses. EPDM demand in the automotive industry is being driven by the growing desire for lightweight and fuel-efficient automobiles. Furthermore, the expanding construction industry is fueling the growth of the EPDM market. EPDM is used in the construction industry for roofing, waterproofing, and insulation. The construction industry's need for EPDM is being driven by the growing demand for energy-efficient and sustainable structures.
