Japan's thermoplastic elastomer market is driven by the country's well-established automotive, electronics, and healthcare sectors. The demand for TPEs in Japan is particularly strong in automotive applications, where they are used in seals, hoses, and interior components, contributing to vehicle weight reduction and fuel efficiency. 

Additionally, Japan's aging population is fueling the demand for TPEs in medical devices and healthcare applications due to their flexibility, biocompatibility, and ease of processing. Japanese manufacturers are also investing in the development of high-performance, eco-friendly TPE materials to meet stringent environmental regulations. 

In January 2024, Asahi Kasei acquired the ISCC PLUS certification for several of its products, including thermoplastic elastomers, to ensure the appropriate management of biomass, recycled materials, and renewable energy in its supply chain.
