The global chlorosulfonated polyethylene (CSM) market size was USD 130.5 million in 2019 and the market is projected to touch USD 212.27 million by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 4.5% during the forecast period.
Chlorosulfonated Polyethylene (CSM) is an elastomer characterized by its white or light colour and unique properties. It shares common characteristics with raw rubber, and in aromatic and chlorine hydrocarbons, it exhibits solubility. However, in ketones and ethers, it only undergoes swelling without complete dissolution. The chemical structure of CSM is entirely saturated, resulting in vulcanizates with exceptional properties. These include excellent ozone resistance, durability against weathering and aging, chemical resistance, resistance to ionizing radiation, colourability, robust physical and mechanical properties, thermal ageing resistance, heat and low-temperature resilience, flame retardancy, abrasion resistance, and outstanding electrical insulation.
Additionally, the demand for chlorosulfonated polyethylene (CSM) is expected to elevate due to its unique combination of properties. Chlorosulfonated polyethylene is commonly used in various industries, including the manufacturing of hoses, gaskets, seals, conveyor belts, roofing materials, cable jackets, and protective clothing. Its versatility and durability make it a valuable material in applications where a combination of weather resistance, chemical resistance, and flexibility is essential. Consequently, the market is anticipated to flourish over this forecast period with expanding end use application industry and growing use of material in renewable energy sector.
COVID-19 Impact: Restrictions on Industrial Operations Curbed the Market Growth
The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden market growth reflected by the rise in CAGR is attributable to the market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels. The market demand fell down due to a disruption in the supply chain during the pandemic. Also, the shutdown of industries including the chemical industry lowered the production rate which impacted the growth of the market. Consequently, the market experienced a decrease in demand and revenue during the pandemic. While the industry may eventually recover as the situation improves, the immediate impact of COVID-19 was predominantly negative for the global market.
