Plastomers are macromolecular materials which exhibit high elasticity, viscosity, and plasticity. They have a hygroscopic and non-transparent elastomeric nature, which provides them with the aesthetics of rubber while imparting their ease of processing like plastics. They exhibit high impact resistance, good compression set, and have a soft touch. Their toughness, resilience, and flexibility make them useful for a wide range of industrial applications, including packaging.
The United Kingdom plastomers market expansion is being driven by increased demand for plastomers for customised applications. This includes a rise in demand for thermoplastic olefins and thermoplastic polyurethanes, among others, which impart desired touch and feel qualities to goods without giving them any shiny plastic look. Their easy handling and usage features are also driving the market growth.
High use of plastomers in the adhesive and sealants industry; growing adoption of sustainable management practices; high demand for plastomers from various sectors; and rising demand for thermoplastic elastomers are the major trends impacting the United Kingdom plastomers market growth.

| May 20th 2019 | ExxonMobil Corp. | Began producing Santropene at its speciality plant in Newport, Wales |
| Factor | Description |
| High use in adhesives and sealants industry | The tough and flexible nature of plastomers makes them ideal for usage in adhesives and sealants, driving the United Kingdom plastomers market development. |
| Sustainable management practices | With growing customer demand for eco-friendly solutions, key players are using renewable feedstock made from residue streams and waste to manufacture plastomers. |
| Increased demand from automotive and healthcare sector | Thermoplastic vulcanizates are widely utilised in designing vehicle interiors and IV fluid bags, among other products. |
| Rising demand for thermoplastic elastomers | The heightened degree of comfort provided by thermoplastic elastomers is prompting companies to utilise them in manufacturing toothbrushes, combs, and other medical products. |
Over the forecast period, increasing collaborations between food and beverage industry and companies manufacturing adhesives are expected to increase significantly. Food and beverage companies require low-odour, reclosable packaging solutions for preserving the quality of commercially produced food items, which can be fulfilled by plastomers adhesives. They can also facilitate the prevention of microbial growth and moisture loss from the food, thereby preserving its taste and flavour.
Thermoplastic elastomers have wide ranging applications owing to their diverse nature. Their durability and flexibility make them an excellent choice for manufacturing extruded weather seals and mobile phone covers, among other products. They are also used in making anti-vibration mounts for industrial machinery, face masks, and syringe seals. Their UV stability and wear-resistant nature enable apparel companies to manufacture premium-grade sportswear, which is expected to drive the United Kingdom plastomers market expansion in the coming years.

Cast film extrusion is expected to constitute a significant part of the United Kingdom plastomers market share.
Cast film extrusion is a process in which plastic resins are melted and then wounded into rolls to obtain a wide range of plastic films in different colours and finishes. The process is used to make food packaging and different types of technical and bubble films. The products obtained from this process can be embossed, laminated, printed, and coated easily. The anticipated increase in cast film extrusion processes is likely to lead to United Kingdom plastomers market expansion in the coming years.
Injection moulding is also expected to gain popularity over the forecast period. This is because different types of plastics can be combined in the injection moulding process to produce goods with a complex geometrical design. This process results in significant cost saving for businesses and also improves the strength and versatility of produced goods.
