66 CHEMICALS KNOWLEDGE HUB Issue 1 / July 2025 MATERIAL SCIENCE Growth in the automotive industry in Asia Pacific is boosting the EPDM rubber market in this region. EPDM rubber is also used as a substitute for thermoplastic olefins (TPO) and thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPV) in the plastic manufacturing industry. Technology advancements in manufacturing plastics also help in the growth of the EPDM rubber market. Growth in the automotive industry in India, China, South Korea, Japan, and Thailand further contributes to the EPDM rubber market in Asia Pacific. Synthetic rubber is produced from crude oil and natural gas. It is mainly produced by the polymerization of monomers. Synthetic rubber has many benefits over natural rubber, such as better resistance to oil and temperature. It is used in a wide range of applications, but its major Ecosystem/market mapping.
