Product Definition:
Styrene Ethylene Propylene Styrenes (SEPS) are a family of thermoplastic resins that are used in a wide variety of applications. Some common applications include automotive parts, construction materials, and medical devices. SEPS resins offer excellent strength, durability, and thermal stability.
Pellets:
Pellets, also known as granules or powder, is a form of polymer. It is made from styrene and ethylene and has properties such as high strength, heat resistance, electrical insulation and chemical inertness. Pellets are widely used in the production of polystyrene which finds application in packaging materials food containers among others. The growth factor for SEPS market is expected to be pellets themselves since they have characteristics that complement each other; i.e.
Powder:
Powder is a fine, dry, free-flowing mixture of plastic resins and additives. It can be used as an alternative to liquid resin for various applications such as injection molding and extrusion. The properties of powder such as high flow rate, low viscosity are ideal for the production process in styrene ethylene propylene styrenes (SEPS) market.
Application Insights:
Automotive application segment accounted for the largest share of 33.3% in terms of volume in 2017. Rising environmental concerns regarding plastic usage and disposal have resulted in a significant shift towards bio-based materials especially polyolefins, which are extensively used as replacements for styrene-based plastics. The aforementioned trend is expected to continue over the forecast period, thereby benefitting the market growth across regions.
The pharmaceutical industry is anticipated to emerge as one of the prominent end users of styrene ethylene propylene styrenes (SEPS) due to its biodegradable nature and ability to combine both flexibility and strength required by modern drug formulations without adding extra cost or weight on product development side.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific dominated the global market in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The growth of this region can be attributed to rising product demand from various end-use industries, such as automotive, construction, packaging and electrical & electronics. China is one of the largest markets for styrene ethylene propylene Styrenes (SEPS) owing to easy availability of raw materials coupled with a well-established manufacturing sector.
Europe accounted for a significant share in terms of volume as well as revenue in 2017 due to rapid industrialization and technological advancements witnessed by major economies including Germany, U.K., France among other Eastern European countries during past few years which are anticipated to propel industry growth over next eight years till 2030 time frame.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand from end-use industries such as automotive and construction owing to the growing population and rising income levels in emerging economies.
- Growing popularity of SEPS in the packaging industry due to its excellent properties such as toughness, heat resistance, and chemical resistance.
- Rising demand for lightweight vehicles due to stringent fuel economy norms across the globe, which is expected to boost the demand for SEPS in automotive applications.
- Rapid expansion of infrastructure development projects worldwide, which is anticipated to create opportunities for SEPS in construction applications.
