Polyolefin elastomers market is set to register a high CAGR owing to increasing demand in the automotive industry

Pune, India, September, 2018 /press release/- Market Research Future Published a Half-Cooked Research Report on Polyolefin Elastomers Market Research Report.

POE are prepared by the copolymerization of ethylene with different monomers such as propylene, butene, hexene, and octene. They have low density and good elasticity. POE are a new class of polymers developed due to advancements in metallocene polymerization catalysts. POE offer superior elasticity, UV resistance, thermal stability, toughness, and low temperature ductility.

Based on type, the global polyolefin elastomers market has been segmented into polyethylene, polypropylene, and ethylene propylene diene monomer. The polypropylene segment is expected to account for the largest share of the global polyolefin elastomers market during the forecast period owing to low cost, good mechanical and thermal properties, melt rheological behavior, easy processing, and chemical resistance. Wires and cable insulation, injection molded automotive parts such as bumpers, adhesives, trims, and instrument panels, packaging, and footwear are the major applications of polypropylene-blended elastomers. The expanding global automotive industry is expected to drive the growth of the polyolefin elastomers market during the assessment period.

By end-use industry, the global polyolefin elastomers market has been divided into automotive, consumer goods, packaging, medical, electrical and electronics, and others. The automotive segment is projected to account for the largest share of the global polyolefin elastomers market during the review period due to rising product use in automotive panels, adhesives, airbags, bumpers, and automotive interior and exterior components.
