High-Performance Plastics Market Dynamics and Trends

• Increasing performance requirements across various applications are accelerating the adoption of high-performance plastics in the automotive and aerospace industries.

• The superior performance qualities and flexibility in integrating components are some of the prime factors of the market.

• Further, the demand for these high-performance plastics is expected to grow at a significant rate owing to the number of production line units of plastic.

• Many companies in the world are expanding their product line in recent times which will boost the production of high-performance plastics.

• For instance, in 2018, German chemicals company BASF SE started a new production line for its high-temperature resistant thermoplastic ultrasonic in Yeosu, Korea.

• On the flip side, the high manufacturing cost of high-end plastics is one restraining factor for this market.

High-Performance Plastics Market Segmentation Analysis

• By end-user, the global high-performance plastics market is bifurcated into transportation, automotive, aviation, medical, and others (electrical & electronics). Of these, the Aerospace industry dominates the market owing to being lightweight compared with other industrial materials.

• Leading aerospace companies like Bombardier, BAE Systems, Raytheon, GE Aviation, and Lockheed Martin have also leaned into using High-performance thermoplastics and composites in their aircraft and defense-related systems.

• These companies are using lightweight plastics to keep passengers comfortable, protect vital electronics, and improve the reliability of the mission.

• However, polymer composites have relatively low electrical conductivity. As a result, an extra layer of the copper mesh must be added to the fuselage of the Boeing 787 to dissipate the electricity from lightning strikes.

• Currently, there is a growing interest in the use of thermoplastic carbon-fiber composites, such as those based on PEEK, to increase manufacturing productivity and satisfy growing demands for an ever-faster aircraft build rate. For instance, Victrex recently launched a joint venture with Tri-Mack Plastics Manufacturing Corp. to accelerate the commercial adoption of polyaryletherketone (PAEK) composite applications in the aerospace industry.
