Europe is anticipated to hold the largest share of the cellular rubber market during the forecast period. The continuous progress of the automotive sector in this region is expected to fuel the cellular rubber market growth in this region. The growing demand for cars across the region is majorly attributed to the rising spending power of consumers, increasing number of double-income families, growth in working class, and rapid economic growth of the countries. Cellular rubber is being increasingly used in the automotive sector due to its sealing and noise reduction capabilities. The EPDM cellular rubber bonds quickly with metal and acts as an effective shield against weather; it also protects vehicles parts against environment and road surface conditions, and vibrations.

An interrupted supply of raw materials such as polyethylene and polypropylene, affecting production processes, has been a prime factor limiting the cellular rubber market growth during the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, a hike in crude oil prices have led to fluctuations in raw material prices, creating hurdles in the steady market growth. However, the cellular rubber market has witnessed a continuous demand from end-user industries such as automotive, construction, HVAC, and consumer goods. Moreover, as a part of economic recovery efforts, several sectors are strategically planning to invest in advanced and bio-based materials, such as cellular rubber, to address the growing need for environment friendly products. The automotive sector has started to gain momentum and is expected to witness significant growth in the coming years with the increasing sale of electric vehicles, eventually providing significant growth opportunities for the cellular rubber market players. Further, the demand for various medicines and COVID-19 vaccines has also surged during the COVID-19 pandemic across the world. The trade of these entities is propelling the need for suitable storage facilities and systems, eventually adding to the demand for cellular rubber as a sealant and insulator.
