Global Thermoplastic Elastomers: Consumer Goods Market - Demand and Sales Forecasts, Market Share, Market Size, Market Leaders

Study #: 3922 | Published: 02/2021 | Pages: 130 | Individual User License: US$ 3,900

Demand for thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) used in consumer goods is forecast to rise 2.3% per year to 1.2 million metric tons in 2024, driven by:

  • increasing manufacturing of key consumer goods, such as footwear, appliances, and soft touch household and personal care items, around the globe
  • the development of new TPE grades and compounds, expanding the range of consumer goods applications
  • continued adoption of TPEs with characteristics such as soft touch and colorability at the expense of competing products

Although many TPE markets markedly declined during the COVID-19 pandemic, consumer goods only experienced moderate losses due to the “essential” nature of many these goods, including footwear and such personal care items as toothbrushes.

Large Appliance Market Gaining Importance as Footwear Applications Mature

Appliances and household goods are becoming increasingly important markets for TPEs, which find widespread and expanding use in the manufacture of such products because of their:

  • temperature resistance, which is important for use in ovens and toasters
  • resistance to scuffing and abrasion, useful for oven, microwave, and refrigerator doors
  • compliance with safety guidelines regarding food contact
  • soft feel and ability to be molded and produced in different colors, which is particularly important for small kitchen tools such as can openers, dish washing brushes, and vegetable peelers

Footwear is the largest consumer goods market for TPEs, which are commonly used in the soles of shoes. However, applications for TPEs – namely SBCs, though also TPUs to an extent – are largely mature, which will limit new opportunities in this market.

Asia/Pacific Region to Maintain Its Position as Leading Regional Market

The Asia/Pacific region is forecast to remain the largest regional market for TPEs used in consumer goods, due largely to the presence of the massive Chinese market. However, production of footwear will continue to move from China to countries with lower manufacturing costs, such as India and Indonesia, resulting in a shift in footwear TPE demand to Southeast Asia. The presence of many large appliance manufacturers in the region, most notably in Japan and South Korea, also boosts TPE demand in the region.

SBCs Will Remain Largest Product Type but Will Continue to Lose Market Share Through 2024

SBCs are expected to remain the TPE most used in consumer goods through 2024, when they will account for 45% of demand, supported by the use SBCs in footwear. However, other TPEs – most notably TPVs and TPUs – will continue to take market share from SBCs due to their soft touch properties, which are particularly important when overmolded onto a solid substrate such as plastic or metal. The aesthetic appeal added by TPEs often justifies the extra cost.
