Thermoplastic Polyolefin (TPO) is a type of synthetic polymer blend that combines the characteristics of polypropylene (PP) and ethylene-propylene rubber (EPR). It is widely used in various industries due to its desirable properties, including flexibility, durability, resistance to UV radiation and weathering, as well as good chemical resistance. TPO is often utilized in applications such as roofing membranes, automotive parts, and consumer products, where its combination of cost-effectiveness and performance makes it a popular choice. It can be molded, extruded, and welded easily due to its thermoplastic nature, which allows for efficient processing and manufacturing.

The global thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) market size is estimated to be USD 4.5 billion in 2021 and is projected to reach USD 6.2 billion by 2026, at a CAGR of 6.4% between 2021 and 2026. The compounded TPO accounted for the largest market share of 41% in 2020. Automotive is estimated to be the largest end-use industry of TPOs during the forecast period, followed by building & construction in terms of volume. TPOs are used for exterior body parts such as bumpers, rocker panels, body seals, automotive gaskets, doors & windows, and other parts. Recent developments in TPO have enabled their use in underhood applications in the automobile industry.

Thermoplastic Polyolefin (TPO) can be broadly classified into in-situ TPO, compounded TPO, and Polyolefin Elastomers (POEs) based on type. These polyolefins are one of the most innovative products in the plastics industry, as they have the functional properties of thermoset rubber while carrying the strength of thermoplastics. TPOs offer exceptional benefits by bridging the gap between flexible rubber and rigid plastics. The automotive sector is one of the largest applications of TPOs, where the low thermal expansion, resistance to fuel, and high impact resistance make them applicable in various auto parts. TPOs are also used in both interior and exterior parts of vehicles.

Thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) is obtained by blending polypropylene with elastic ethylene copolymers (polyolefin elastomers or POE) and adding other reinforcing fillers and additives. This creates a new form that is highly suitable for many applications in the end-use industries such as automotive, building & construction, engineering, footwear, wires & cables, and medical because of its favorable physical properties and ease of manufacturing. The Automotive segment accounted for the largest market share in terms of value, in 2020. The demand for thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) has been severely affected by the outbreak of COVID-19 owing to the halting of various industries across the globe. Industrial wastewater treatment chemical production had been affected in major countries due to supply shortages, lockdowns, and production suspensions in the early months of 2020.

The Thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) market is studied for five regions, namely, North America, APAC, Europe, Middle East & Africa, and South America. Asia Pacific is projected to be the fastest-growing market during the forecast period in terms of value. This growth is attributed to high demand from the power, mining, oil & gas, food & beverage, chemical, pulp & paper, and textile industries in the region. The Asia Pacific market growth is expected to be propelled by the changing demographics such as improving stringent regulations regarding the treatment of wastewater, rapid industrialization, and growing population in the region during the forecast period.
