Growing demand from automotive and electrical & electronics industries will drive market growth

  • Polyamide has several physical properties that make it ideal for manufacturing and industrial use, including abrasion, corrosion, chemical resistance, flame resistance, flexibility, and strength. The volume of European polyamide consumption increased by 3.3% in 2019 compared to 2017 due to increased demand, primarily from the automotive and electrical and electronics industries.
  • The European electrical and electronics industry has the highest consumption volume due to the surge in demand for electronic devices as a result of companies implementing work-from-home models and individuals establishing home offices. Technological advancements generate consistent demand for electronic devices year after year. The industry accounted for 26.9% of the total polyamide volume consumed in 2022, and the consumption volume increased by 1.5% in 2022 compared to 2017.
  • The automotive industry has the second-largest consumption rate due to the surge in vehicle production. The industry accounted for around 26.6% of the total polyamide volume consumed in 2022. Consumers are opting for electric vehicles due to government regulations on the manufacturing and production of internal combustion engines. Polyamide sales in the region are expected to increase due to the growing production of EVs and vehicles with the latest lightweight and higher fuel efficiency requirements.
  • The aerospace industry is expected to be the second fastest growing in terms of consumption value during the forecast period (2023-2029), with a CAGR of 7.97%, owing to the production of aircraft components in response to the growing demand for lighter and more fuel-efficient aircraft.

  • The European electrical and electronics industry has the highest consumption volume due to the surge in demand for electronic devices as a result of companies implementing work-from-home models and individuals establishing home offices. Technological advancements generate consistent demand for electronic devices year after year. The industry accounted for 26.9% of the total polyamide volume consumed in 2022, and the consumption volume increased by 1.5% in 2022 compared to 2017.
  • The automotive industry has the second-largest consumption rate due to the surge in vehicle production. The industry accounted for around 26.6% of the total polyamide volume consumed in 2022. Consumers are opting for electric vehicles due to government regulations on the manufacturing and production of internal combustion engines. Polyamide sales in the region are expected to increase due to the growing production of EVs and vehicles with the latest lightweight and higher fuel efficiency requirements.
  • The aerospace industry is expected to be the second fastest growing in terms of consumption value during the forecast period (2023-2029), with a CAGR of 7.97%, owing to the production of aircraft components in response to the growing demand for lighter and more fuel-efficient aircraft.

Keyword Definition
Acetal This is a rigid material that has a slippery surface. It can easily withstand wear and tear in abusive work environments. This polymer is used for building applications such as gears, bearings, valve components, etc.
Acrylic This synthetic resin is a derivative of acrylic acid. It forms a smooth surface and is mainly used for various indoor applications. The material can also be used for outdoor applications with a special formulation.
Cast film A cast film is made by depositing a layer of plastic onto a surface then solidifying and removing the film from that surface. The plastic layer can be in molten form, in a solution, or in dispersion.
Colorants & Pigments Colorants & Pigments are additives used to change the color of the plastic. They can be a powder or a resin/color premix.
Composite material A composite material is a material that is produced from two or more constituent materials. These constituent materials have dissimilar chemical or physical properties and are merged to create a material with properties unlike the individual elements.
Degree of Polymerization (DP) The number of monomeric units in a macromolecule, polymer, or oligomer molecule is referred to as the degree of polymerization or DP. Plastics with useful physical properties often have DPs in the thousands.
Dispersion To create a suspension or solution of material in another substance, fine, agglomerated solid particles of one substance are dispersed in a liquid or another substance to form a dispersion.
Fiberglass Fiberglass-reinforced plastic is a material made up of glass fibers embedded in a resin matrix. These materials have high tensile and impact strength. Handrails and platforms are two examples of lightweight structural applications that use standard fiberglass.
Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) Fiber-reinforced polymer is a composite material made of a polymer matrix reinforced with fibers. The fibers are usually glass, carbon, aramid, or basalt.
Flake This is a dry, peeled-off piece, usually with an uneven surface, and is the base of cellulosic plastics.
Fluoropolymers This is a fluorocarbon-based polymer with multiple carbon-fluorine bonds. It is characterized by high resistance to solvents, acids, and bases. These materials are tough yet easy to machine. Some of the popular fluoropolymers are PTFE, ETFE, PVDF, PVF, etc.
Kevlar Kevlar is the commonly referred name for aramid fiber, which was initially a Dupont brand for aramid fiber. Any group of lightweight, heat-resistant, solid, synthetic, aromatic polyamide materials that are fashioned into fibers, filaments, or sheets is called aramid fiber. They are classified into Para-aramid and Meta-aramid.
Laminate A structure or surface composed of sequential layers of material bonded under pressure and heat to build up to the desired shape and width.
Nylon They are synthetic fiber-forming polyamides formed into yarns and monofilaments. These fibers possess excellent tensile strength, durability, and elasticity. They have high melting points and can resist chemicals and various liquids.
PET preform A preform is an intermediate product that is subsequently blown into a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottle or a container.
Plastic compounding Compounding consists of preparing plastic formulations by mixing and/or blending polymers and additives in a molten state to achieve the desired characteristics. These blends are automatically dosed with fixed setpoints usually through feeders/hoppers.
Plastic pellets Plastic pellets, also known as pre-production pellets or nurdles, are the building blocks for nearly every product made of plastic.
Polymerization It is a chemical reaction of several monomer molecules to form polymer chains that form stable covalent bonds.
Styrene Copolymers A copolymer is a polymer derived from more than one species of monomer, and a styrene copolymer is a chain of polymers consisting of styrene and acrylate.
Thermoplastics Thermoplastics are defined as polymers that become soft material when it is heated and becomes hard when it is cooled. Thermoplastics have wide-ranging properties and can be remolded and recycled without affecting their physical properties.
Virgin Plastic It is a basic form of plastic that has never been used, processed, or developed. It may be considered more valuable than recycled or already used materials.
