Ethylidene Norbornene Market Size

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

Many diverse factors contribute to the dynamics of the Ethylidene Norbornene (ENB) market. One of the most important is demand from the automotive industry. The Automotive OEM Coatings Market Size was valued at USD 8.9 Billion in 2022. The automotive OEM coatings market industry is anticipated to grow from USD 9.49 Billion in 2023 to USD 15.954 Billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of about 6.70%. Furthermore, a general economic climate, which includes various macroeconomic indicators, plays an essential role in shaping the ENB market as well as other industrial sectors relying on it. Economic growth and increasing industrialization lead to more construction activities; hence, there is a higher demand for EPDM rubber in roofing and sealant applications. Such a factor also impacts ENB's elasticity and, therefore, its overall market capacity, as well as prices paid for products based on this substance, increase when the construction of large buildings or complexes takes place. Furthermore, the construction industry's focus on sustainable and energy-efficient materials further propels the adoption of ENB-based products.
The conditions surrounding environmental policies are some of the things that define the ENB sector today, just like any other petroleum-based plastics manufacturing process. The current scenario whereby people are concerned over environmental issues has seen a rising need for environmentally friendly materials. Alongside these, technological advances have been seen influencing past developments within this segment. Sustained efforts towards polymer science research and development bring about new inventories and application fields of ENBs.Constant attempts made by scientists toward producing more advanced polymer compositions result in performance properties' enhancement together with widening options for plasticized NORs within commercial spaces. Also, manufacturers should be updated with technology changes so as not to be kicked out of business within the ethylene norbornene sector.
The whole thing about global supply chain dynamics is so complex that nobody can really understand what it means. Environmental regulations significantly impact this segment as well. There is a growing concern in the world today over the ability of people to live in harmony with nature, hence the creation of different schemes aimed at creating materials that would be eco-friendly. This is especially important as more and more companies have started looking for ways of manufacturing their products from recycled materials. Continuous research and development efforts in polymer science lead to the development of innovative formulations and applications for ENB. Therefore, it is not surprising that, over the years, scientists have expanded their areas of interest to include all types of NORs, starting from simple polymers up to those co-polymers whose structure appears almost impossible. Last but not least, the innovativeness applied by polymer scientists has resulted in better-performing ENBs while opening many more market possibilities. The ability of manufacturers to stay abreast of technological developments and incorporate them into their processes is crucial for maintaining a competitive edge in the ENB market.

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.
