Global PEEK market is expected to register growth at CAGR of 7.2% and 8.0% by revenue and sales volume respectively during 2018-2025F.
The PEEK producers should focus on developing innovative PEEK solutions for different end user industries. Automotive gears, thermal and acoustic aircraft insulation blankets, pipes for oil and gas industry and dental implants are some of the upcoming applications of PEEK in the different industries.
Europe is expected to be the biggest market for PEEK by 2025. Growing demand of electronic and automatic vehicle, increase in environmental consciousness in the aerospace industry and technological developments in the electronics industry are expected to drive the market in Europe.
PEEK markets in South Korea, Japan and France are expected to grow at the fastest pace on the basis of sales volume with a CAGR of 9.0%, 8.9% and 7.8% respectively during 2018-2025F.
Advent of 3D printing Technology: 3D printing also known as additive manufacturing, has been gaining traction in the medical, aerospace and industrial manufacturing industry. Development of industrial and medical grade PEEK filaments for 3D printing will drive the demand of PEEK in these industries in the coming years.
Shifting End-User Preference towards PEEK: With increasing technological development, PEEK is replacing metals such as titanium, aluminum, steel, nickel, chromium and also other engineering plastics such as PPS, PTFE, Nylon 66, PAI, PEI, PLA, PVF and others in oil & gas, aerospace & defense, electronics & electrical, automotive, medical and food processing industries. For instance, carbon or glass reinforced grades of PEEK are replacing PTFE in seals and back-up rings application and it is also used to replace the conventionally used titanium tubes in aircraft tubing systems, for instance, PFW Aerospace selected VICTREX Pipes for the cargo drainage system on the Airbus A350 XWB.
Increase in Competition: Increase in number of expiring patents of Victrex PEEK and increase in global PEEK production capacity ensures availability of cheaper PEEK grades, which will eventually increase the demand of PEEK in various end user industries.
Technological Development in Automotive Industry: Development of electronic vehicles and automated vehicles has necessitated the demand of light weight, self lubricating and high performance material PEEK. With surge in demand of electric vehicle, the demand of PEEK is also expected to increase.
Increase in Demand for Technologically Advanced Consumer Goods: Increase in standard of living has increased the demand for technological advanced and expensive consumer goods. For instance, Dyson hairdryers and vacuum cleaners have PEEK impeller which makes it sound proof and enhances the consumer experience. Mentor Optical have developed PEEK optical frame with Evonik’s VESTAKEEP PEEK known as Plasteel Eyewear. The Eyewear weighs just 9 grams whereas traditional frames weigh as much as 23 grams, thereby offering the highest wear comfort for the user.
