The upcoming safety regulations & innovative techniques for its use will be the key influencing factors for the Asia Pacific ethylene propylene diene monomer market, with the increased emphasis on its different applications.

The global ethylene propylene diene monomer market has witnessed significant growth in recent years, mainly owing to the rapidly-growing demand from the Asia Pacific region, followed by the North American region. In addition, the intense efforts at country level to promote environmentally-friendly and recyclable products have also impacted the growth of the concerned market. A considerable amount of investments have been made by various market players to serve the end-user applications of EPDM.

50.3% of the total ethylene propylene diene monomer demand was observed to be from the automotive applications segment in 2013, with the building & construction and plastic modification industries being among the faster-growing end-use segments in the Asia Pacific region, primarily due to the high penetration of EPDM in all the member countries.

The drivers of the Asia Pacific EPDM market include the increasing demand from the automotive industry, and the increasing demand for modified elastomers, among others.

Ethylene propylene diene monomer is a synthetic rubber made from ethylene, propylene, and diene. This synthetic rubber is a thermoset elastomer that exhibits satisfactory compatibility with fireproof hydraulic fluids, ketones, hot and cold water, alkalis, and unsatisfactory compatibility with most oils, gasoline, kerosene, aromatic & aliphatic hydrocarbons, halogenated solvents, and concentrated acids.

The main properties of EPDM are its resistance to heat, ozone, and weather; strong resistance to polar substances and steam; and the excellent electrical insulating properties. EPDM is a good material in manufacturing seals, washers, glass-run channels, radiators, garden and appliance hose, tubing, pond liners, belts, electrical insulation, vibrators, O-rings, solar panel heat collectors, UV protection, and speaker cone surrounds.

The EPDM industry is witnessing high growth on account of its increasing applications, technological advancements, and the growing demand in the Asia-Pacific region. EPDM is largely used in industries such as automotive, building & construction, plastic modification, lubricant additive, wire & cable, and tires & tubes, among others.

The Asia-Pacific EPDM market, by application, was valued at $2,424.1 million in 2014 and is projected to reach $3,384.8 million by 2019, at a CAGR of 8.1% during the period under consideration. The market is projected to reach a volume of 770.4 KT by 2019, at a CAGR of 5.9% during the given forecast period. China is the largest market for Asia-Pacific Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer market region. The automotive segment registered the largest share of the ethylene propylene diene monomer market, among the application segments, in 2014.

Ethylene propylene diene monomer is also used as a medium for water resistance in electrical cable-jointing, roofing membranes (since it does not pollute the run-off rainwater, which is of vital importance for rainwater harvesting), geomembranes, rubber mechanical goods, plastic impact modification, thermoplastic, vulcanisates, and many other applications. Granulated, colored EPDM granules are mixed with polyurethane binders and sprayed onto concrete, asphalt, screenings, interlocking brick, wood, and so on, to create a non-slip, soft, porous safety surface for wet-deck areas such as pool decks or playgrounds.

The major participants operating in the Asia-Pacific ethylene propylene diene monomer market are Mitsui Chemicals (Japan), Kumho Petrochemicals (South Korea), JSR Corporation (Japan), SK Global Chemical Co. Ltd. (South Korea), and Jilin Chemicals (China). There are several other local players in the market manufacturing ethylene propylene diene monomer, with a majority of these players located in China.
