Automotive Elastomers Market Opportunity Drivers: What’s Unlocking New Revenue Potential?
The increasing demand for new vehicles is expected to propel the growth of the automotive elastomers market going forward. The rise in demand for new vehicles is driven by increased consumer confidence, economic recovery, and advancements in automotive technology. Vehicles use automotive elastomers for sealing, vibration isolation, and flexible components in various parts, such as seals, gaskets, tires, and suspension systems. For instance, in July 2023, according to the International Energy Agency, a France-based autonomous intergovernmental organization, over 2.3 million electric cars had been sold in the first quarter of 2023, marking a 25% increase compared to the same period in 2022. By the end of 2023, sales were expected to reach 14 million, representing a 35% year-on-year increase, with growth accelerating during the second half of the year. Therefore, the increasing demand for new vehicles is driving the growth of the automotive elastomers market
