Ethylidene Norbornene Market Analysis

ID: MRFR//6427-HCR | 140 Pages | Author: Anshula Mandaokar| April 2024

The ENB market has undergone profound dynamics due to many forces that influence its demand and supply. In particular, ENB's market dynamics are closely connected to the automotive sector construction industry, among others, since it is a major component used in producing elastomers. On the other hand, the need for better fuel efficiency with vehicle engines has been one of the primary triggers that characterize the market dynamics. An example is ethylene norbornene, which makes rubbers used in tires, seals, and hoses stronger than before; hence, they last longer. Ethylene Norbornene (ENB) has become an integral part of tire production as it enhances the performance and durability of rubber materials used on tires like tires that enhance performance and durability of rubber materials used on tires like seals, hoses. The global growth in automotive consumption, especially in emerging economies, has driven enormously up the price for ENBs.As a result, manufacturers must maintain a stable supply chain given higher requirements from increased sales volumes within the tire business.
Environmental regulations and sustainable initiatives have been major driving forces impacting ethylidene norbornene's market dynamics. Therefore, increased interest in green technologies and environmentally safe materials has led researchers to look for alternative sources or processes for manufacturing ENBs.Recently, global economic trends, including geopolitical factors, have been another key factor affecting the ethylidene norbornene market dynamics. For instance, fluctuations in prices of raw materials, trade wars, and geopolitical uncertainties can disrupt production costs and ENB supply chains. Similarly, technological advances in polymer chemistry, as well as materials engineering, have resulted in changes in the dynamics of the ethylidene norbornene industry. Current research is about improving the properties of ENB-based elastomers that have a wider range of applications.
The global response to COVID-19 has also impacted the ethylidene norbornene market dynamics. Changes in consumer behavior, disruptions in supply chains, and economic uncertainties influenced the demand for ENB-based products. In conclusion, the complex interplay of factors, including industry-specific demands, environmental considerations, economic trends, technological advancements, and global events, shape the Market Dynamics of Ethylidene Norbornene. The ENB market will likely continue to change as the world itself changes, necessitating an agile and responsive posture by stakeholders towards emerging trends and challenges.

Ethylidene Norbornene Market Overview


Global Ethylidene Norbornene Market stood at over 70 kilotons in 2018, and the global market is expected to register a CAGR of over 4% during the forecast period. Ethylidene norbornene is a bicyclic monomer that is manufactured from vinyl norbornene. It is used to prepare ethylene propylene diene monomer rubber for non-tire synthetic rubber applications. Due to this application, the market is noticing huge growth. The monomer properties are rapid curing, high tensile strength, and high wear and weather resistance. These applications are rising in the market’s demand in the end-user segments, consisting of industry verticals like automotive, electrical & electronics, building and construction, and others. TheThe growth of the Ethylidene Norbornene Market is chiefly driven by the rise in EPDM in various industries. It is used in fragrances and flavors based on its molecular structure.


 The market’s growth is influenced by socioeconomic trends like the growing rate of the middle-class population, massive economic growth, and changes in demographics in regions like China, South Africa, India, Brazil, and other countries. 


 The demand for EPDM in the production like gaskets, seals, roof sheeting, and others in the industrial sectors like automotive and building and construction. The automotive segment acquires the largest market share in the forecast period, followed by the building and construction segment. Furthermore, the monomer's electrical insulation and heat, weathering, and resistance properties drive the Ethylidene Norbornene Market demand in the electrical & electronics industry.
