Global POM Resins Market Growth 2025-2031
The global POM Resins market size is predicted to grow from US$ 5056 million in 2025 to US$ 7166 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.0% from 2025 to 2031.
POM (Polyacetal) resins, also known as acetal or polyoxymethylene resins, are important engineering resins with exceptional wear resistance and excellent chemical, thermal, electrical, and mechanical properties; as a result, they have replaced metals and other plastics in wear-critical applications. While one of the oldest engineering thermoplastics, polyacetal resins continue to be successful substitutes in traditional metal markets, at costs that are lower than those of many other engineering thermoplastics. Polyacetal resins continue to replace die-cast zinc, brass, aluminum, steel, and other metals in various end-use applications.
Asia Pacific is the major POM Resin sales regional market and is expected to witness a significant growth rate over the forecast period. Rising vehicle production in China, India, Japan, and Indonesia is expected to drive POM Resins demand for manufacturing power windows, lightweight vehicle frames, fuel units, and door locking systems. Market players should actively expand production capacity and actively participate in strategic alliances in the Asia-Pacific region to meet the growing POM demand in the region.
The major factor driving the POM Resin market is the growing demand from the automotive industry. But the increasing use of bio-based materials as an alternative to POM Resin is expected to hinder the growth of the studied market.
Recent development:
May 21, 2024, China's Ministry of Commerce has initiated an anti-dumping investigation into polyformaldehyde (POM) copolymer, exported by companies in the European Union, the U.S., Japan and Taiwan. The move is seen as protecting domestic production to ensure economic security. The companies named include Celanese from the U.S.; Polyplastics, Asahi Kasei and Mitsubishi Gas Chemical (MGC) from Japan; and Formosa Plastics from Taiwan. Celanese was named for its exports from its European entity.
