By manufacturing process, the slurry/suspension process segment accounted for the second-largest market share in 2025.
In the global EPDM market, the slurry/suspension process holds the second-largest share in the manufacturing process segment. It is because of that that this method offers a balance of cost-effectiveness and flexibility in production. This method is usually used to manufacture standard-performance polymer grades for a variety of applications. This method has a relatively simple operating procedure compared to solution polymerization and can provide more consistent quality. Furthermore, its ability to produce in large quantities at a reasonable cost has contributed significantly to its overall share of the EPDM market.
By application, the building & construction segment accounted for the second-largest market share in 2025.
The building & construction industry was the second-largest end-use market for EPDM products in 2025, driven by increasing applications in roofing membranes, waterproofing systems, and insulation. The UV-ray, ultra-high/low temperature, and environmental stability performance characteristics associated with EPDM products make them ideal long-term products for exterior use. Other key drivers of growth are the increasing number of infrastructure projects and the growing demand for long-lasting construction materials.
Europe accounted for the second-largest share of the EPDM market in 2025.
The global EPDM market is led by Europe, where established industries such as automotive and construction have had a significant impact. Major automobile companies are located in Europe and rely on EPDM for many components, such as seals, gaskets, hoses, and weather-stripping, as this material can withstand extreme environments and high loads over extended periods. As energy-efficient and sustainable construction methods gain popularity, more contractors are using EPDM-based roofing membranes and insulation systems.
