Asia
In China, the average prices of EPDM Rubber were ~USD 4,695.00/MT (FOB) in July and ~USD 4,919.47/MT in August, showing a ~4.8% increase. Producers entered the quarter with strong margins after cost-driven price increases in the previous quarter, which gave them room to hold firm on offers. Earlier plant maintenance at a leading Asian producer had also reduced available volumes. Propylene costs rose from late August, and leading Chinese petrochemical plants raised synthetic rubber prices several times in September. However, producers expected seasonal weakness and softer demand to weigh on profitability, and some customers delayed purchases.
Europe
In Germany, EPDM averaged approximately USD 4,829.00/MT (CIF) in July and rose to about USD 5,033.00/MT in August, an increase of ~4.2%. Higher import costs from Asia were the main reason for the increase. Demand also gave support, as new car registrations in the EU continued to grow, raising the need for EPDM seals and parts. However, rising energy prices and geopolitical uncertainty kept buyers careful with new orders.
North America
In the USA, average EPDM import prices increased from nearly USD 4,882.00/MT (CIF) in July to roughly USD 5,075.00/MT in August, a rise of ~4.0%. Vehicle sales improved in August compared with July, supporting demand from auto parts makers, and industry forecasts pointed to stronger full-year sales. However, quarterly sales volumes were expected to be lower than in the previous quarter, which kept the increase smaller than in other regions.
Analyst Insight
According to Procurement Resource, EPDM prices are likely to stay firm on higher feedstock costs, though seasonal weakness and cautious buying may limit further gains.

Asia
EPDM Rubber prices in China increased to ~RMB 33.83/kg in April and ~RMB 34.87/kg in May, showing a ~3.1% increase. The EPDM rubber market received support from higher upstream costs early in Q2 due to global oil supply disruptions and increased synthetic rubber production expenses. However, broader synthetic rubber markets faced weaker feedstock support later as butadiene and other petrochemical inputs declined. Supply remained relatively balanced despite maintenance activities, as overall synthetic rubber production increased. Tire production provided some support, with rubber tire casing output increasing, but weak replacement demand, high finished tire inventories and softer export orders limited stronger market momentum.
Europe
EPDM Rubber prices in Germany increased to ~EUR 4.33/kg in April and ~EUR 4.50/kg in May, showing a ~3.9% increase. European markets remained supported by elevated production costs, with higher energy and intermediate-goods prices increasing pressure on rubber manufacturers. Automotive demand provided stability, supported by higher vehicle registrations and growing electric and hybrid vehicle adoption, which increased demand for seals, hoses and weather-resistant rubber components. However, construction-related demand remained uneven, with weaker building activity limiting EPDM consumption in roofing, sealing and insulation applications. Higher input costs supported prices, but moderate downstream growth restricted larger increases.
North America
EPDM Rubber prices in the United States increased to ~USD 5,042.56/MT in April and ~USD 5,273.19/MT in May, showing a ~4.6% increase. The market experienced strong cost pressure from higher synthetic rubber manufacturing expenses and upstream feedstock volatility. Producer prices for synthetic rubber manufacturing increased during Q2, reflecting higher raw material and production costs. Downstream demand remained mixed, with automotive production improving slightly and construction-supply output showing growth, while plastics and rubber-product manufacturing remained weaker. The price increase was mainly driven by cost pressure rather than strong demand growth.
EPDM rubber is a type of synthetic rubber that is a copolymer of ethylene, propylene, and non-conjugated diene monomers. These dienes are usually vinyl norbornene, dicyclopentadiene, etc. It is an example of M-class synthetic rubber, meaning that it is an elastomer comprising a saturated chain of polymethylene type. Usually, the ethylene content is between 45-75%, whereas dienes are around 3-9%. The cross-linkages are vulcanized via Sulphur. EPDM rubber owing to its excellent properties like resistance to heat, light, ozone, and polar liquids, are widely prevalent among manufacturers.

The polymerization reaction of the feedstock ethylene, propylene, and the catalyst take place in the presence of an excess hydrocarbon solvent. Stabilizers are required as and when needed. Then steam and hot water remove the excess solvent and monomers, leaving only the EPDM rubber. This product is then dried through a mechanical press or in ovens.
