EPDM Rubber Price Trend Report
As of January 2025, EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) rubber prices have experienced a slight decline across various regions. In North America, the price decreased by 1.4% to $2.79 per kilogram, while Europe saw a 1.5% reduction to $2.57 per kilogram. Northeast Asia reported a 1.7% drop, bringing the price to $2.29 per kilogram. These downward trends are attributed to factors such as decreased demand in the automotive and construction sectors, as well as fluctuations in feedstock costs, particularly ethylene. For instance, in September 2024, the U.S. market experienced a notable surge in EPDM rubber prices due to rising ethylene costs and strong downstream demand. However, by the end of 2024, European markets, especially Germany, witnessed a bearish trend amid decreasing demand and lower bids. Overall, the EPDM rubber market remains dynamic, influenced by regional supply-demand balances and feedstock price volatility.
