Hot Cast Elastomers Market Dynamics

This section deals with understanding the market drivers, advantages, opportunities, restraints and challenges. All of this is discussed in detail as below:

Drivers

• High Demand From High-Value End-Use Industries

The hot cast elastomers are expected to grow significantly in the coming years as demand from various end-use industries such as mining, automotive and transportation, machinery, medical, and oil and gas increases. Hot cast elastomers are used in mineral processing applications like separating screens, conveyor scrapers, and other components. Moreover, the market growth will also be aided by rising output in the mining industry, as well as increased exploration activities, particularly in emerging economies.

The market for hot cast elastomer is also being driven by better properties than traditional materials, such as high load-bearing capacity, high resilience, high impact strength, high abrasion resistance, and excellent resistance to oil and grease. The expansion of the chemical industry is projected to bolster the growth of the market.

Opportunities

• Product Development and Initiatives for Environment

Furthermore, manufacturers have been encouraged to develop new products by increased awareness of environmental sustainability, rising competition, and volatility in raw material prices. Era Polymers and Covestro, for example, have introduced a number of low free monomer prepolymers. In addition, the demand for green polyurethane continues to rise. This has heightened interest in the development of environmentally friendly PU products such as bio-based polyols. Manufacturers have also been working hard to develop bio-based isocyanates to counteract the negative effects of petroleum-based isocyanates. Such initiatives, combined with ongoing technological advancements, are expected to provide enormous growth opportunities for the hot cast elastomers market players.

Restraints/Challenges

• Fluctuation of Raw Material Prices

Isocyanates and polyols derived from crude oil or natural gas are used as raw materials in the production of hot cast elastomers. Cast polyurethane system manufacturers must consider raw material prices and availability when determining the cost structure of their products. Raw material price fluctuations raise operating costs, resulting in a more expensive end product. These petroleum-based raw materials are susceptible to price fluctuations. The prices of raw materials for hot cast elastomers have been affected by these fluctuations in crude oil prices.

• Adverse Impact of Hot Cast Elastomers

The hot cast elastomers are have a negative impact on human health and the environment, which is expected to slow market growth over the forecast period. In addition, a number of stringent regulations have been enacted to limit the product's negative impact on the industry's growth during the forecasted period. Therefore, this factor will challenge the hot cast elastomers market growth rate.

COVID-19 Impact on Hot Cast Elastomers Market

The recent outbreak of coronavirus had a negative impact on the hot cast elastomers market. COVID-19 has ushered the manufacturing and industrial sectors into an unknown operating environment around the world. Government restrictions on the number of people who can congregate in one place have had a significant impact on these industries. For instance, the virus has had a significant impact on the component manufacturing industry. Investment losses, liquidity shortages, labor shortages, supply chain constraints, and overall global economic uncertainty are all affecting the industrial sector's growth. During the lockdown, production and factory operations in the automotive, electronics, and aerospace industries were temporarily halted. The majority of industries rely on China for raw material supply. As a result, supply chain interruptions have had a significant impact on industrial output.

However, many countries, including India, China, and the U.S., have opened their economies in recent months, and industrial activities have resumed, albeit with a limited workforce and materials. As most economies have begun to open, industrial output is expected to rebound. COVID-19 has had a negative impact on sales volume for cast elastomer manufacturers in the first and second quarters of 2020. Major market players are reducing the risk by concentrating on local management and pursuing untapped market opportunities.

Recent Development

• In August 2020, LANXESS has introduced a new line of MDI polyether prepolymers made from renewable raw materials. The products, which are marketed under the brand name Adiprene Green, can be used to replace existing fossil-based polyether prepolymers and allow PU processors to produce components with lower CO2 emissions.
