Thermoplastic Polyolefins (TPO) Market was valued at US $ XX Mn and expected to grow at XX% Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) from 2019 to 2025.
Market Outline: Thermoplastic Polyolefins (TPO) Market
Thermoplastic Polyolefins (TPO) contain polymers including polypropylene, polyethylene and rubber with filler material. TPOs are processed like thermoplastics and come under thermoplastic elastomers family. TPO are manufactured by different processes including injection molding, extrusion molding and forming. TPO possess rubber qualities but they are processed like polymer. This unique property has increased the application scope of TPO in major end-use industries recently. Thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) is one of the most widely used products in the thermoplastic elastomer family. TPO finds application in a wide range industries, such as automotive, building and construction, home appliances, medical, industrial, and footwear.
Market Dynamics: Thermoplastic Polyolefins (TPO) Market
Rapid growth in the automotive industry, coupled with a rise in building and construction activities, has been single-handedly driving the demand for TPO in the past few years. Transparency Market Research predicts that this trend will continue during the forecast period. However, factors such as volatility in the prices of raw materials and a high threat from substitutes are estimated to adversely affect the growth of the TPO market. Substitutes such as thermoplastic polyurethane, polyvinyl chloride, and thermoplastic vulcanizate are anticipated to offer substantial threat to the TPO market in the coming years.
