Global sales of bio-based elastomers are projected to reach USD 1,901.8 million by 2033, up from USD 513 million in 2023. Throughout the forecast period of 2023 to 2033, a growth rate of approximately 14% is anticipated. The market is anticipated to expand as a result of the advantages that bio-based elastomers offer over crude oil-based elastomers in terms of emissions of volatile organic compounds. The development of bio-based elastomers is a major endeavor for major crude oil-based elastomer manufacturers.
End-use companies in the elastomer market are also including sustainable materials in their product manufacturing, which can significantly impact the market growth. For instance, in January 2022, The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company launched a demonstration tire containing 70% sustainable-material content such as soybean oil and silica produced from rice husk ash to develop tires. Pela, a phone case manufacturing company in Canada, manufactures 100% compostable phone cases from Flaxstic, a bio-based material. This material includes a by-product of the flax oil seed harvest and a bio-based thermoplastic elastomer.
The U.S. in North America is expected to witness significant growth in the demand for bio-based elastomers. This is due to the fact the country hosts a number of conventional elastomer manufacturers such as Avient Corporation, Huntsman International LLC, The Lubrizol Corporation, Trinseo, and Dow that are now engaged in the development of bio-based elastomers.
Key Takeaways from the Market Study
- Bio-based thermoplastic elastomers dominated the market and accounted for more than 75.0% share of the overall revenue in 2022.
- The automotive application segment dominated the market in 2022. This is attributed to the growing use of bio-based elastomers in automotive trims, dashboards, mats, and tires.
