Ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) is a synthetic rubber consisting of ethylene, propylene, and diene monomers. Known for its resistance to outdoor and high-temperature conditions, EPDM exhibits properties such as resistance to ozone, UV, heat, polar solvents, water-based chemicals, and aging. It finds applications in roofing for waterproofing and as seals.
The manufacturing of ethylene propylene diene monomer involves processes like solution polymerization, slurry and suspension process, and gas-phase polymerization. Solution polymerization is a method where a monomer is combined with a hydrocarbon solvent and a catalyst, resulting in a polymer. This process allows easy heat transfer, generates a low viscosity mixture, is cost-effective, and the bulk polymer does not require additives. Sales channels for ethylene propylene diene monomer include both direct and indirect sales. Applications span across automotive, building and construction, manufacturing, electrical and electronics, and various other industries.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
Tariffs are influencing the EPDM market by increasing costs of imported monomers, catalysts, processing chemicals, and polymer additives. Automotive and construction industries in North America and Europe are most affected due to reliance on imported raw materials, while Asia-Pacific faces cost pressure on export-oriented EPDM production. These tariffs are impacting material pricing and contract negotiations. However, they are also supporting domestic polymer production, regional supply chain diversification, and innovation in alternative elastomer formulations.

The ethylene propylene diene monomer market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $4.79 billion in 2025 to $5.26 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of building construction activities, increasing automotive production volumes, rising use of synthetic rubber materials, growth in industrial sealing applications, availability of cost-effective polymerization processes.
The ethylene propylene diene monomer market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $7.52 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand for durable and recyclable elastomers, rising adoption in electric vehicle components, expansion of green building materials usage, growing focus on lightweight automotive materials, increasing investments in advanced polymer manufacturing. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing use of epdm in roofing and waterproofing, rising demand for automotive sealing applications, growing adoption in electrical insulation systems, expansion of weather-resistant elastomer products, enhanced focus on long-service-life materials.
The increasing construction industry is expected to drive the growth of the ethylene propylene diene monomer market forward. The construction industry refers to a wide range of activities related to the planning, design, development, construction, renovation, and maintenance of physical structures and infrastructure. Ethylene propylene diene monomer is a versatile material used in construction due to its ability to provide long-lasting protection against the elements and contribute to the structural integrity and energy efficiency of buildings. For instance, in August 2024, according to Eurostat, a Luxembourg-based statistical office of the European Union, production in construction in the Euro area increased by 1% from 2023 to 2024. Therefore, the increasing construction industry is expected to propel the growth of the ethylene propylene diene monomer market.
Major companies in the Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer market are concentrating on creating innovative products, such as elastomeric materials, to enhance performance and sustainability across various applications, including the automotive and construction sectors. For example, in July 2024, Dow, a U.S.-based chemical company, introduced its bio-based NORDEL(TM) REN Ethylene Propylene Diene Terpolymers (EPDM) at the German Rubber Conference (DKT) 2024. This new product is aimed at promoting sustainability in multiple sectors, including automotive, infrastructure, and consumer applications. By utilizing bio residues from other industries as raw materials, NORDEL(TM) REN EPDM seeks to offer a lower-carbon alternative that does not compete for land resources or food production. The product is manufactured through an ISCC PLUS certified mass balance system, ensuring the traceability of bio-based materials.
In December 2023, INEOS Group Limited, a UK-based chemical manufacturer of petrochemicals, specialty chemicals, and oil products, acquired LyondellBasell for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition aims to enable INEOS Group Limited to establish a strong presence in the U.S. oil and gas market while furthering its commitment to energy transition and sustainability through investments in low-carbon technologies.
