  Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM) rubber   is a synthetic elastomer widely used in various industries due to its exceptional resistance to heat, ozone, and weather conditions, as well as its excellent flexibility and durability. The global market for EPDM rubber has seen significant fluctuations in prices over the years, influenced by a variety of factors such as raw material availability, production costs, demand-supply dynamics, and geopolitical conditions. The pricing of EPDM rubber is closely tied to the cost of its primary raw materials, ethylene and propylene, which are derived from crude oil and natural gas. Fluctuations in the prices of these feedstocks directly impact the production costs of EPDM. For instance, when crude oil prices rise, the cost of ethylene and propylene typically increases, leading to higher EPDM prices. Conversely, when oil prices fall, EPDM production costs tend to decrease, resulting in lower market prices. This close correlation with th...
