Market Overview:
Polyolefin Elastomers and Plastomers Market Segmentation by End User (Automotive, Packaging, Wires & Cables, and Others); and by Distribution Channel (Direct Sales, Retail Sales, and Others)-Global Demand Analysis & Opportunity Outlook 2021-2031
Global Polyolefin Elastomers and Plastomers Market Highlights Over 2021 - 2031
The global polyolefin elastomers (POE) and plastomers (POP) market is estimated to garner a revenue of USD 7772.6 Million by the end of 2031 by growing at a CAGR of 7.6% over the forecast period, i.e., 2022 – 2031. Moreover, the market generated a revenue of USD 3752.8 Million in the year 2021. The growth of the market can be attributed to the growing demand for automobiles worldwide, the production of which touched 91786861 units in the year 2019 around the globe, up from 58374162 units in the year 2000, according to the statistics by International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (OICA). In the automotive industry, polyolefin elastomers (POE) and plastomers (POP) are used for manufacturing the exteriors and interiors of the vehicle. On the other hand, the surge in urbanization, which is driving the need for urban housing, along with the development of smart cities and the rise in the number of commercial and residential housing projects, are driving the need for electrical wires and cables. Additionally, growing adoption of renewable energy worldwide, is also raising the need for electric cables, such as HVDC cables, and others. Since, POE and POP materials are used as wire and cable coatings, hence, the rising demand for wires and cables is expected to contribute to the growth of the market in the coming years. The growth of the market can also be attributed to the numerous applications of the chemical compounds across different end-use industries.

Polyolefin elastomers and plastomers are a relatively new class of polymers which are copolymers of ethylene and butene (EBR) or octene (EOR), and are produced by a metallocene catalyst. These chemical compounds have emerged on the back of recent advancements in metallocene polymerization catalysts and are widely being adopted as a substitute for generic polymers, such as styrene-block copolymers (SBCs), ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA), ethylene propylene rubbers (EPR or EPDM), and poly vinyl chloride (PVC) among others. These chemical compounds are known to offer low density and high flexibility and are also used in injection molding, film & compounding, and extrusion. The growth of the global polyolefin elastomers and plastomers market can also be attributed to the increasing demand for the product in the medical industry for manufacturing different medical devices, as well as for applications in prosthetics, surgical instruments, and mobility aids. Besides this, the stringent regulations of the government of nations on the use of plastics owing to its health concerns, along with the use of POE in solar module encapsulation are also expected to drive the growth of the market in the coming years.
