The report titled 'Global Polyphthalamide Market - Growth, Share, Opportunities, and Competitive Analysis, 2023-2032' offers strategic visions into the global polyphthalamide market along with the market size (Revenue - US$ Bn and Volume - Kilo Ton) and estimates for the duration 2023 to 2032.
The said research study covers in-depth analysis of multiple market segments based on type, filling, end-user and study across different topographies. The report is also inclusive of competitive profiling of the leading polyphthalamide vendors, and latest developments.
Polyphthalamide (PPA) is an aromatic, semi-crystalline polyamide. When compared to its traditional Nylon, polyphthalamide is stronger, less sensitive to moisture, stiffer and has high thermal capabilities. The compound also has significant creep resistance and chemical fatigue. PPA finds application in wide range of industries owing to its superior thermal, physical and electrical properties.
The resins based on PPA are molded into different parts in order to replace metals in applications where high temperature resistance is required. The specific applications include housing for high temperature electrical connectors, automotive powertrain components, and others.
Other applications include fuel lines, metal replacement, LED headlights, catheter tubes, gas pipes, wire casings, hairbrush and toothbrush bristles, electrical insulation, sporting goods, switches, automotive motor bobbin parts, pump wear rings, fuel line connectors, coolant pumps, fuel modules, bearing pads and bushings.
The global polyphthalamide market was valued at US$ 725.4 Bn in 2017 and is expected to expand at a CAGR of 5.8% from 2018 to 2024. The key factor driving growth of the global polyphthalamide market is the rising demand for polyphthalamide from the automotive applications.
The rapidly evolving and expanding automotive segment coupled with the rising production of light weight vehicles has created significant demand for PPA globally. Another key factor driving the market is the demand from electrical & electronics industry.
Moreover, in many applications PPA is being utilized as a replacement material for metal. On the contrary, volatility in raw material prices and high of polyphthalamide is one of the key challenges restraining the market growth. Furthermore, limited life of product and environmental regulations are also having moderate impact on the market growth.
In the coming years, rising usage of bio-polyphthalamide, and demand from personal care and medical industries is expected to offer potential growth opportunities.
The global polyphthalamide market has been segmented based on type, filling, end-user, and geography. Based on types, the global polyphthalamide market has been segmented into amorphous and semi-crystalline PPA.
