Market Landscape:
The TPC market has witnessed steady growth, with global production capacity over 340 kilo tons in 2022. The United States, Japan, South Korea, and Western Europe experienced higher capacity utilization rates between 2016 and 2022. However, China faced challenges stemming from lower capacity utilization rates and idle production facilities, contributing to a global average capacity utilization between 50-55%. The COVID-19 pandemic further impacted the industry, with decreased automotive demand causing a 16% decline in global car production. A semiconductor chip shortage added to the woes for automotive manufacturers.
The global Thermoplastic Copolyester elastomers demand exceeded 150 kilo tons in 2022 and is projected to surpass 230 kilo tons by 2032, demonstrating a Compound Annual Growth Rate of 4% from 2023 to 2032.
Following are highlights of the key market trends pertaining to the demand growth of Thermoplastic Copolyester elastomers.
A Greener Future:
In an era characterized by global environmental consciousness, TPCs are poised to play a pivotal role in meeting the objectives of agreements like the Paris Climate Agreement. The shift towards these high-performance materials aligns with the automotive industry's pursuit of reduced greenhouse gas emissions. As a result, TPCs are expected to be a key enabler in the ongoing transition towards sustainability, offering solutions that merge performance and ecological responsibility.
Automotive Sector and Sustainability:
The automotive industry remains a pivotal driver of TPC demand, particularly for high-performance engineering components. TPC's ability to replace metals in various components, such as CVJ boots and air ducts, contributes to weight reduction and fuel efficiency, aligning with the industry's quest for lower emissions and enhanced energy efficiency. As the automotive sector shifts production to Asia-Pacific, TPC demand is anticipated to rise, driven by countries like China and India.
Manufacturing and Versatility:
TPCs are synthesized through a polycondensation process of long-chain ether or ester diols with chain extenders like butanediol and terephthalic acid. This chemical reaction results in a material with a blend of hard segments akin to polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) and soft segments of amorphous polyether. The ratio and molecular weight of these segments influence the final material properties, allowing for a wide spectrum of variations to suit diverse applications. TPCs are processed using established methods like injection moulding, compression moulding, extrusion, and rotational moulding, with processing conditions tailored to the melting temperatures and resulting morphology of the polymers.
