Thermoplastic elastomers
[http://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/thermoplastic-elastomers.html ] (TPE) market is
primarily driven by the growing demand for light weight and high performance materials
from the automobile industry across the world. Shift towards replacing PVC with
thermoplastic elastomers from major end use industries is also expected to drive TPE
demand over the next five years. However, the volatile nature of raw material prices and
the regulatory issues due to growing environmental concerns are expected to hinder the
market growth.

Styrenic block copolymers (SBCs) made up the largest segment of TPE products,
accounting for close to 48% of total TPEs consumed in 2011. SBCs are mostly used for
paving, roofing and in the footwear industry for high quality shoes. However, SBC demand
is expected to remain stagnant over the next five years, as the market nears maturity.
Thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPVs) is expected to be the fastest growing TPE product with
an estimated CAGR of 6.6% from 2012 to 2018.

Asia Pacific has emerged as the leading consumer of thermoplastic elastomers and
accounted for over 40% of the global demand in 2011. TPE consumption in the region is
expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.4% from 2012 to 2018. The growth of automotive industries
mainly in China and India is propelling the growth of TPEs market in the region. In terms
of consumption, Europe is the third largest market; however demand in the region is
expected to remain stagnant owing to economic issues and general slowdown in key
application industries such as automotive and construction.
