North America: North America posted the sharpest decline. This was underpinned by subdued automotive factory activity, with inventory build-up delaying fresh EPDM orders. In parallel, reduced construction activity weighed on demand. Lower oil and petrochemical prices trimmed feedstock expenses, enabling suppliers to lower prices. Persistently strong USD relative to local currencies elevated export pressure and price competitiveness, prompting domestic downward adjustments. Additionally, surplus EPDM stock in storage put downward pressure on bidding. This convergence of slack demand and easing costs translated into the most significant regional price drop.
Europe: Europe’s EPDM price rose in August. The increase was fueled by strong demand in construction (notably roofing and window profiles) driven by ongoing infrastructure and refurbishment investments. Simultaneously, automakers continued to incorporate EPDM in seals, gaskets, and hoses, including usage in EVs for battery insulation, supporting upward price movement. Supply-side dynamics, such as elevated energy prices and compliance costs related to environmental regulations, pushed production costs higher. Additionally, import tariffs and logistical delays inherited from the pandemic period lingered, exerting additional upward pressure on landed costs. Currency fluctuations, particularly a weaker euro against the USD, exacerbated the import costs of feedstocks. These combined factors contributed to the most pronounced regional increase across the board.
Northeast Asia: Northeast Asia saw a modest price increase. This upward pressure was largely driven by strong industrial demand, particularly in the automotive and construction sectors. Supply-side constraints also contributed, as rising energy costs, stricter environmental standards, and logistics bottlenecks increased production costs. Currency dynamics played a role; a comparatively stronger local currency (e.g., Japanese yen or Korean won) eased import expenses for raw materials denominated in USD. In addition, East Asia's proactive shift towards higher-quality EPDM formulations for electric vehicle components elevated value. Furthermore, regional value chain integration allowed for efficiencies in distribution, partly offsetting cost rises. Overall, the moderate uptick reflects resilient demand amid tightening supply and regulatory pressures.
South America: South America experienced a price decrease, reflecting softer demand and favorable supply conditions. Sluggish automotive production and reduced export volumes due to macroeconomic headwinds dampened consumption. At the same time, local manufacturers benefited from easing feedstock prices and improved logistics, cushioning cost pressures. Commodity-rich economies in the region also saw currency stabilization, reducing cost burdens on imported raw materials. Moreover, alternative materials gained traction in certain end-use sectors like construction, gradually eroding EPDM demand. Taken together, these elements triggered a slight downward pricing adjustment.
Middle East: In the Middle East, EPDM prices dropped. This sharp decline stems from weakening regional industrial output and softening demand in construction and automotive segments. Lower oil and energy prices reduced feedstock costs, inputs tied to petrochemical derivatives—allowing producers to soften selling prices. Additionally, intensifying price competition among regional suppliers and rising EPDM inventories weighed on pricing. Currency strength in some Gulf currencies versus the USD further contributed to cost relief. Overall, favorable supply conditions, coupled with muted demand, prompted the most significant price drop.
Southeast Asia: Southeast Asia’s price fell during the period. Demand headwinds from reduced activity in automotive, building, and infrastructure sectors, influenced by headwinds such as interest rate hikes and cooling growth, pushed prices lower. On the supply side, concurrent decline in feedstock costs, easing logistics after earlier congestion, and local manufacturers ramping up capacity created a downward pull. Additionally, increased competition from alternative elastomers in certain applications, such as EPDM substitutes for roofing membranes, further suppressed pricing. The combination of softened demand and ample supply fuelled a notable price downturn.
IMARC's latest publication, “EPDM Rubber Prices, Trend, Chart, Demand, Market Analysis, News, Historical and Forecast Data Report 2025 Edition,” presents a detailed examination of the EPDM rubber market, providing insights into both global and regional trends that are shaping prices.

The factors affecting EPDM rubber pricing, such as the dynamics of supply and demand, geopolitical influences, and sector-specific developments, are thoroughly explored. This comprehensive report helps stakeholders stay informed with the latest market news, regulatory updates, and technological progress, facilitating informed strategic decision-making and forecasting.
The global EPDM rubber industry size reached USD 3.51 Billion in 2024. By 2033, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 6.08 Billion, at a projected CAGR of 5.99% during 2025-2033. The market is driven by the expanding automotive usage, particularly in EV components, rising construction demand for durable, weather-resistant materials, and advancements in specialized EPDM grades.
Ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) rubber is a synthetic elastomer known for its high durability, exceptional resistance to weathering, heat, ozone, and UV exposure. Classified among synthetic rubbers, it is one of the top-performing materials in global rubber consumption owing to its versatility and resilience. EPDM’s unique attribute is its long-term stability under extreme environmental conditions. It is widely used in automotive (seals, hoses, gaskets, battery insulation), construction (roofing membranes, waterproofing, window seals), electrical (insulation, cable jacketing), and industrial applications (hoses, o-rings). Its ability to maintain flexibility and integrity in harsh conditions makes it indispensable for enhancing product longevity and performance.
