North America has established itself as the dominant regional market for thermoplastic elastomers. The region is expected to account for 36.7% of the market share in 2024. The region accounts for the largest share of the global market owing to its well-established automotive and medical device industries. These sectors are the primary end-users of thermoplastic elastomers in North America given their need for materials that offer flexibility, resilience and durability. Leading automakers have production facilities dispersed across the U.S. and Canada near their major customer bases and supplier networks, driving consistent demand. Additionally, stringent regulations favor domestic production and the region promotes innovation, attracting investments by global raw material suppliers, and thermoplastic elastomer manufacturers. This ensures ease of availability and competitive pricing.
The Asia Pacific region has emerged as the fastest growing regional market for thermoplastic elastomers in recent years. Rapid industrialization and strong economic growth have fueled massive infrastructure development and automobile manufacturing in countries such as China and India. This has augmented the demand for engineering plastics including thermoplastic elastomers from various end-use industries. China, in particular, has taken significant strides to become a dominant manufacturing hub and net exporter, with liberal foreign investment policies and special economic zones attracting global thermoplastic elastomer producers. Furthermore, government initiatives are promoting the use of plastics over conventional materials in applications like automotive, medical, and packaging. The burgeoning middle-class population is driving higher consumption of commodities and consumer goods manufactured using thermoplastic elastomers. This makes Asia Pacific an extremely lucrative regional market, despite competition from Chinese manufacturers.
