Improved Fuel Efficiency of TPU Elastomers Stimulating Adoption in Automotive Sector, Nov. 15, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The global TPU elastomer market is estimated at US$ 3.65 billion in 2024, as per the latest market study published by Fact.MR, a market research and competitive intelligence provider. Sales of TPU elastomers are predicted to increase at 6% CAGR from 2024 to 2034. Rising demand for high-performance and lightweight materials in several industries, including medical, electronics, footwear, etc., is forecasted to drive the sales of TPU elastomers.
Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) elastomers exhibit excellent mechanical properties, including abrasion resistance, high tensile strength, and flexibility. In addition, the durability and good chemical resistance of TPU elastomers are also contributing to their increased adoption. These properties make them more suitable for end-use industries, including automotive.
TPU elastomers can replace conventional materials, including metal, rubber, etc. in end-use industries. Moreover, a growing concentration on eco-friendly and sustainable materials is projected to fuel demand for TPU elastomers due to their lower carbon footprints and recyclability compared to other materials.
