Chlorinated Polyethylene Resins and Elastomers (CPE) Market

Chlorinated Polyethylene Resins and Elastomers (CPE) Market Overview

The chlorinated polyethylene resins & elastomers market is forecast to reach US$ 600 Million by 2022, expected to flourish at a CAGR of 8% to reach US$ 1,297 Million by 2032.

Chlorinated polyethylene (CPE) resins and elastomers are thermoplastic polymers exhibiting enhanced physical and chemical properties. These are used as thermoplastic elastomer, modifiers for various resins such as Polyvinyl chloride (PVC), Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), and polyethylene (PE). Chlorinated polyethylene resins offer resistance against chemicals, fire, heat, oil, weather, abrasion.

Other properties of CPE include excellent mechanical and physical properties, high filler acceptance, tensile strength, and low-temperature performance.

The enormous demand for PVC siding, pipes, window profiles, doors, and fences, among others from the building & construction trade, propels the growth of impact modifiers in this market.

Which are Some Prominent Drivers Spearheading Chlorinated Polyethylene Resins Market Growth?

The applications of chlorinated polyethylene resins and elastomers include geomembranes, as impact modifiers and flexible sheeting for automotive, roofing membranes, molded shapes, extruded profiles, and cable jacketing, and as a base polymer. 

Growing demand for chlorinated polyethylene resins and elastomers in impact modification application is expected to drive market growth. Impact modification is the largest application of CPE in terms of consumption. It is widely used for impact modification of PVC for the fence, deck, window profiles, pipes, and vinyl siding.

What are the Challenges Faced by the Chlorinated Polyethylene Resins Industry?

Uprising crude oil prices and volatility in raw materials prices are projected to hamper the market growth for chlorinated polyethylene resins and elastomers. Polyethylene is manufactured from crude oil derivatives and is subjected to availability and price variations.

Additionally, the high cost of processing to develop the application-specific elastomer or resin is expected to hamper the market growth.

Why is Asia-Pacific Emerging as an Opportunistic Chlorinated Polyethylene Resins Market?

The Asia Pacific was the largest market for chlorinated polyethylene resins and elastomers in terms of consumption. China accounts for the largest share in the global market in terms of production and consumption. Most CPE in China is used for impact modifiers and hoses applications. Asia Pacific was followed by North America where the U.S. was the largest consumer. 

The flexible sheeting industry is experiencing high growth in the Asia Pacific region due to growing construction and electrical industries. These two industries are propelled by changing lifestyles and rising disposable income. Further, rising demand from automobile hoses and industrial hoses is likely to reinforce the chlorinated polyethylene resins and elastomers market growth.
