A performance elastomer is a substance with a cross-linked chemical structure consisting of polymer chains bonded together by strong chemical bonds. Coating corrosion-prone structures with performance elastomers prevents the entry of moisture and the production of compounds that promote corrosion. Intermolecular forces are reinforced in performance elastomers, preventing the entrance of corrosion-causing chemicals such as water and hydrogen sulfides. Elastomers are polymers with viscosity and elasticity, thus their name viscoelasticity. Elastomer molecules are bound together by weak intermolecular interactions and have a low Young's modulus as well as a high yield strength or failure strain.
The global market for performance elastomers will expand due to the efforts of car and aerospace component makers to lower vehicle weight while enhancing its operational qualities. Regularly, these producers must find materials that can withstand temperatures ranging from sub-zero to engine block heat, exposure to hydrocarbons like as coolant, gasoline, and lubricants, and numerous chemical reactions involving sulfides, nitrous oxides, ozone, and other salts. The market for overall performance elastomers would be positively impacted by rising automotive sales globally, particularly in growing Asia-Pacific nations such as India, China, South Korea, and Southeast Asian nations. In both China and the U. S, standard passenger cars have been replaced by high-performance, relatively expensive sport-utility vehicles and crossovers during the past year, and this trend will continue in the coming years as the per capita income of the population rises. However, when exposed to high temperatures, the thermoplastic type of elastomers has a tendency to lose their elasticity. They also have the propensity to undergo creep, also known as deformation under the effect of temperature and prolonged pressure, which hampers the expansion of thermoplastic elastomers in applications that involve high temperatures. This may serve as a factor that hinders the expansion of the performance elastomers market. Whereas, it is expected that recent product innovations in the performance elastomers market would make significant contributions to the growth opportunities for end-users. It is also expected that the uses of elastomers will extend to include more modern industries, which would create profitable growth opportunities for the manufacturers of performance elastomers.
Market demand for performance elastomers is growing as a result of rapid industrialization in a wide range of countries. They are frequently utilized as plastic and adhesive raw material modifiers in the gas and oil industries for exploration and production. Performance elastomers such as neoprene and silicone are widely utilized in the electronic and food & beverage industries due to their abrasion, flame resistance, impact, water, and high dielectric characteristics, and also for their exceptional UV, weather, and ozone resistance. Various end-use industries are increasing their need for performance elastomers due to their diverse qualities. In addition, due to the growing use of performance elastomers in orthotic and prosthetic applications, the performance elastomers market is projected to expand in the healthcare sector. Thus, increasing demand for performance elastomers from various end-use industries drives the performance elastomers market.
Copper metal and hydrogen fluoride are costly components that are required in the production of silicone. Performance elastomers, such as silicone elastomers, are more expensive due to the high energy expenditures connected with their production process, which involves the transformation of sand into high-purity silica and subsequently the polymerization of this silica. Due to variations in raw material, compounding, filing, and processing costs, elastomer prices may also fluctuate substantially. High production costs may function as a hurdle to market expansion.
Rising awareness regarding the use of performance elastomer and tight government rules and regulations related to the use of rubber would enhance the demand for performance elastomer in numerous end-user industries, hence offering enormous opportunities for manufacturers in the performance elastomer market during the forecast period. In addition, the widespread use of elastomers in the automotive industry, as well as ongoing R&D activities and technological advancements in the field of performance elastomers, will provide lucrative growth opportunities for the performance elastomer market.
COVID-19 impact analysis on the performance elastomers market.
The pandemic of COVID-19 has had a swift and severe impact on the global automotive industry.
Chinese component supplies were halted, large-scale production disruptions occurred across Europe, and American assembly plants were shut down.
This has exerted considerable pressure on the industry. In addition, automobile manufacturing was halted, resulting in a significant drop in the overall automotive market.
According to the European Automobile Manufacturers Association, demand for new commercial vehicles remained sluggish in the EU in June 2020 (-20.3%), although the rate of fall reduced from April and May. Germany (-30.5%), Spain (-24.2%), and Italy (-24.2%) were the three of the region's four largest markets to experience double-digit percentage drops in May (-12.8%).
Due to the decline in automobile manufacturing, demand for performance elastomers such as nitrile-based elastomers, fluoroelastomers, silicone elastomers, and others decreased dramatically, which had a significant effect on the performance elastomers market.

Executive Summary
According to this report, titled, 'Performance Elastomer Market,' the performance elastomer market was valued at $15.8 billion in 2021, and is estimated to reach $31.6 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 7.2% from 2022 to 2031.A performance elastomer is a polymer having viscoelasticity (i.e., both viscosity and elasticity) and weak intermolecular forces, often a low Young's modulus, and a high failure strain in comparison to other materials.
Performance elastomers have high elongation, superior resilience, abrasion resistance, impact strength, and tear resistance. Due to their properties, performance elastomers are in great demand in the construction sector. These properties make performance elastomers useful for key applications in the construction industry. Window & weather seals, artificial grass, wall coverings, carpets, expansion joints, bitumen modification, road markings, window & door frames, waterproofing, weather stripping, and roofing membranes are the principal applications in the construction industry. Utilizing TPE and TPU elastomers in the building and construction industry boosts the space's longevity, and UV protection improves aesthetics and gives a superior mechanical performance. This will fuel the market for performance elastomers.
However, the primary factor constraining the growth of the global performance elastomers market is the product's expensive production. The processing of these materials to offer the appropriate tensile strength, heat resistance, and chemical resistance tends to increase the price of these specialist products in comparison to those of commodity elastomers. Specific and crucial application areas of certain products require their utilization, hence increasing the product's price. In the approaching years, this aspect will have a negative impact on the performance elastomers industry.
