The cast elastomer market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.37 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand for durable industrial components, rising investments in mining and infrastructure equipment, growth of automation-driven machinery, increasing preference for low-maintenance materials, expansion of heavy equipment manufacturing. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing demand for high-wear resistant elastomers, rising adoption in heavy-duty industrial applications, growing use of polyurethane-based elastomers, expansion of custom-molded elastomer components, enhanced focus on material longevity.

The cast elastomer market is anticipated to experience growth driven by the increasing demand in automotive component manufacturing. The automotive components industry, particularly in India, is expected to witness significant growth, with projections indicating a 10-15% increase. Cast elastomers, known for their flexibility, durability, and ease of processing, find applications in various automotive components. For instance, the Indian automotive sector achieved a revenue of USD 56.5 billion in 2022, representing a 23% increase from the previous year. This upward trajectory is expected to continue, with a projected growth rate of 15% in the fiscal year 2023-24, highlighting the substantial demand for automotive components that contributes to the cast elastomers market's growth.

Major companies in the cast elastomer market are concentrating on developing innovations, such as low compression sets, which ensure minimal deformation under pressure. Low compression set refers to a material's capacity to resist permanent deformation when subjected to prolonged compression. For example, in November 2023, Inkbit, a US-based 3D printing technology firm, introduced TEPU 50A, an advanced material designed specifically for 3D printing. This new elastomer features a Shore 50A durometer hardness, excellent UV stability, chemical compatibility, and a low compression set. It is well-suited for creating intricate, elastic components such as grommets, seals, and soft grippers. The material offers precise detailing, outperforming traditional rubber and silicone alternatives. The cutting-edge technology guarantees high-quality, consistent 3D printing for demanding industrial applications.

In January 2023, Mearthane Products Corporation, a US-based manufacturer specializing in custom-formulated polyurethane products, acquired Precision Elastomers, Inc. for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition is intended to enhance its capabilities in the production of high-performance elastomer products. It solidifies Mearthane's position in the custom polyurethane market, boosts its material science expertise, and expands its offerings across various industries. Precision Elastomers, Inc. is a US-based manufacturer of custom-molded products.
