Geographically, Asia-Pacific has been the largest and the fastest growing market for automotive elastomers during 2012 – 2015. Some of the factors driving the growth of the automotive elastomers market in the region include high growth in automotive industry and increasing compliance for lightweight materials. The automotive industry in the region is expected to witness high growth, due to the growing population and increasing income level. Globally, China was the largest market for automotive elastomers in 2015 in terms of volume. The automotive elastomers market in North America and Europe is anticipated to witness considerable growth, owing to the well-established automotive industry, stringent emission norms and consumer’s preference for high performance vehicles. In terms of value, the U.S. was the largest contributor to the North American and the global automotive elastomers market in 2015.

The global automotive elastomers manufacturers are increasing their capacity to manufacture high performance elastomers. In April 2015, LANXESS AG successfully started their new ethylene propylene diene rubber (EPDM) plant in Changzhou (Jiangsu Province), China. The new plant would manufacture total ten premium grades of EPDM tailored to Chinese and Asian customer needs. Similarly, in July 2016, Exxon Mobil Corporation announced plans to expand its specialty elastomers plant in Newport, Wales. The project is expected to be completed by late 2017 and would result in a 25% increase in its global capacity to manufacture Santoprene thermoplastic vulcanizate, high-performance elastomers used for automotive, industrial and consumer applications.
