is growing, which, in turn, is driving and propelling the growth opportunities
in APAC PP & EPDM In Electric Vehicles Market and acting as a major factor
for the growing APAC PP & EPDM In Electric Vehicles Market size.
Bolstering Growth for Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles:
Thermoplastic such as EPDM and polypropylene polymer has a growing demand
for a wide range of applicability in the plug-in hybrid electric vehicles sector
for hoses, electrical gaskets, cable insulation, cones, window and door seals,
battery boxes and others. The electric vehicles sector in APAC is fast-paced
owing to growth factors such as the rise in the government’s initiative for

APAC PP & EPDM In Electric Vehicles Market Challenge
Availability of Better Alternative for EPDM and Toxicity of PP:
The ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM)
polymer faces major competition from thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPVs) owing to
its advantages such as superior recyclability over the EPDM. The EPDM faces the
problem of non-recyclability. Moreover, polypropylene (PP) is considered
toxic due to the availability of toxins such as DEHP, vinyl chloride and others,
which is likely to cause major health effects. The better alternatives such as
TPVs infused with polyamide and others offer superior benefits such as cost-effectiveness,
well beyond recyclability, superior sealing performance and design freedom,
thereby acting as a major substitute and competition for EPDM. Thus, the
recyclability problems, the toxicity of PP and a threat from a better and more cost-friendly
substitute for ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) act as major
challenging factor, which, in turn, also impacts the demand and applicability
in electric vehicles.
