Polyphthalamide Market Forecasts to 2030 – Global Analysis By Product (Hybrid, Carbon Fiber-filled, Glass Fiber, Mineral-filled, Unfilled and Other Products), Application (Electronics & Electrical, Consumer and Personal Care, Industrial Equipment & Apparatus, Automotive, Transportation and Other Applications) and By GeographyAccording to Stratistics MRC, the Global Polyphthalamide Market is accounted for $1,416.2 million in 2023 and is expected to reach $2,605.5 million by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 9.1% during the forecast period. A category of thermoplastic synthetic resin from the polyamide family is called polyphthalamide, or PPA. High-temperature automotive applications and electrical connectors are where it is most frequently employed. The polyamides known as polyphthalamides have aromatic rings that provide them with exceptional mechanical strength and strong heat resistance. Alphatic diamines and aromatic acids react to produce polyphthalamide.
According to the EPA, the finalized rule will reduce carbon dioxide emissions from cars by 166 grams per mile in 2023 and 132 grams per mile in 2026.
Market Dynamics:
Driver:
Increasing trend of lightweight vehicles
The high demand for polyphthalamide is generated by the growing trend of lightweight vehicles and the replacement of metal parts with plastics in the automotive industry. Numerous interior automobile components, such as speaker covers, air vents, and seat adjustment levers, are made of polyamides. Additionally, it's used in automobiles as a replacement for metal parts like thermostat housings, gasoline and coolant lines, coolant pumps, pump wear rings, and fuel line connectors.
Restraint:
High cost and availability of raw materials
PPA is an engineering plastic with outstanding performance and better qualities than other materials. However, it is more expensive than other engineering polymers like polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) and polyamide (PA). Its adoption in some applications may be constrained by this high cost. Raw material scarcity could cause supply chain problems which would hinder the market's expansion.
Opportunity:
Superior properties of PPA and technology advancements
In comparison to other technical plastics, polyphthalamide has a number of superior qualities, including high-temperature resistance, chemical resistance, dimensional stability, and good mechanical properties. It is appropriate for use in demanding applications due to these qualities. The production of PPA with improved qualities, such as greater heat resistance, stronger chemical resistance, and increased dimensional stability, is the result of the development of new technologies and manufacturing techniques.
Threat:
Environmental concerns and stringent regulations
PPA is a recyclable and environmentally friendly material, although certain chemicals are used during the production process, which could be hazardous to the environment. The market expansion for PPAs may be constrained by rising environmental concerns and restrictions. REACH and RoHS are the laws and standards that relate to the PPA market. Following these laws and standards could make production more expensive, which might stop the market from expanding.
Covid-19 Impact:
The polyphthalamide (PPA) market has not been immune to the COVID-19 pandemic's enormous effects on the world economy. The COVID-19 epidemic has caused problems throughout the world's logistics, transportation, and raw material supply chains. PPA production and delivery have been hampered by disturbances, which have resulted in supply shortages and delays. The market is anticipated to rebound in the next few years, however, because of rising demand from a variety of end-use sectors as well as a growing interest in lightweight and environmentally friendly materials.
The automotive segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
Due to the rising trend of fuel-efficient lightweight vehicles, the automotive segment is anticipated to account for a proportionally large revenue share over the projection period. Automotive fuel system components, cooling and heating systems, and a variety of structural fragments are all made of polyphthalamide. Global demand for polyphthalamide is rising as a result of the growing popularity of lightweight electric vehicles (EVs).
The glass fiber segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
Due to the growing popularity of glass fiber in the electronics and automotive industries, the glass fiber segment had the highest compound annual growth rate throughout the anticipated period. Glass fiber made of polyphthalamide is resistant to high temperatures and has an outstanding price-performance ratio. Moreover, it has great mechanical and chemical resistance, along with high-temperature stability.
Region with largest share:
Because of the increase in car manufacturing and sales in the region, particularly in China, Japan, and India, Asia Pacific is anticipated to witness enhanced growth over the lucrative period of time. Significant demand for polyphthalamide is being driven by the growing popularity of electric and lightweight, fuel-efficient automobiles in the region. One of the world's largest manufacturers of automobiles is China. Additionally, it is anticipated that rising demand for polyphthalamide in electronics components will boost revenue growth in the region.
Region with highest CAGR:
Due to rising demand for electric vehicles and strict government restrictions to minimize gasoline emissions in the region, particularly in the U.S., the market in North America is predicted to rise steadily throughout the projected period. For instance, the EPA imposed strict economy rules for vehicles and trucks in December 2021. The government's initiatives to promote electric vehicles and the EPA's new guidance are projected to enhance demand for polyphthalamide throughout the entire country.
Key players in the market
Some of the key players in Polyphthalamide market include Akro Plastics GMBH , Arkema S.A., Avient Corporation, BASF SE, Celanese Corporation, DuPont de Nemours, Inc., Ecomass, Ems-Chemie Holding AG, Evonik Industries AG, PlastiComp Inc., Pro Polymers Inc., Saudi Basic Industries Corporation and Solvay S.A.
