PAEK is a high-performance thermoplastic due to its great temperature resistance and good mechanical properties. Polyphenylene sulphide (PPS), polycarbonate (PC), polysulfone (PSU), and polyetherimide are other high-performance thermoplastics (PEI). These thermoplastics have functional qualities similar to industrial and automotive applications. These polymers can replace PAEK thermoplastics. PPS is a popular PEEK alternative. PPS is a high-performance, semi-crystalline engineering plastic that can replace metals or thermosets. These include high stiffness, strength, creep resistance, and chemical resistance. In the next eight years, the use of PPS in kitchen appliances, hair dryer components, and grills are expected to increase in demand. Rising PAEK prices are expected to slow the market's growth. Volatile raw material prices could potentially limit the market growth.
PEEK provided 82% of PAEK market sales in 2021. This market sector is expected to develop significantly in the approaching years due to its high inherent purity, strong tensile strength and modulus, accurate machinability, thermal stability, fire, smoke, and toxicity resistance, and chemical resistance. PEEK is expected to continue generating the most income during the predicted period. Rising demand from oil and gas, medical, automotive, electrical and electronics, and aerospace industries, especially in China and India, is driving this segment's revenue growth. Electrostatics, bearings, industrial coatings, and body implants are driving this demand. PEEK is a thermoplastic polymer with a high strength-to-weight ratio. Adaptable and versatile, it can replace metals in many applications. As a result, many companies are developing and manufacturing PEEK alternatives, and this trend is expected to continue. Victrex plc announced on January 13, 2020, that Yingkou Xingfu Chemical Company Limited and Victrex Hong Kong Limited would form a joint venture to build and operate a PEEK polymer production plant in Liaoning, China. This collaborative venture will follow 'Made in China 2025' The new factory might produce up to 1,500 tonnes per year.
Glass filled had the most market revenues in in 2021. Unfilled PAEK has poor thermal and mechanical qualities. It's electrically and chemically resistant. Glass-filled PAEK is pricier. Glass-filled PEEK has good thermal bearing strength, radiation resistance, and creep resistance. Glass-filled PEEK's higher strength and thermal stability have raised its demand in structural applications.
Carbon-filled income is expected to grow rapidly from 2023 to 2030. PAEK with carbon infill has a lower coefficient of friction and improved thermal bearing strength. Composites constructed with this filler and PEAK have higher heat conductivity than unfilled PAEK.
Automotive and aerospace led the global revenues in 2021. Automotive and aerospace are expected to rise due to the demand for metal alternatives to reduce fuel consumption and boost fuel efficiency. Due to PEEK's resilience to hydrolysis and good insulating characteristics, the business is expected to grow as PEEK replaces metals in automotive applications. Several automakers use PEEK to make rotor arms, seals, thrust washers, shock absorber bearings, and alternator covers. Because of this and the expanding usage of metal alternatives to decrease weight and save energy, automakers are using more PAEK, which has raised demand. The medical sector is expected to have the fastest revenue growth. PAEK implants are preferred for its antimicrobial properties and great CT, X-ray, and MRI durability. PEEK material is suitable for surgical equipment, spinal fusion devices, and medical implants since it resists hydrolysis and corrosion. Expanding medical applications is expected to fuel revenue growth in this area.
