Key Market Trends

Increasing Demand from Healthcare Industry

  • Polyimide is used for medical tubing in healthcare, in vascular catheters, due to its burst pressure resistance, flexibility, and chemical resistance.
  • It  is also used to coat optical fibers for medical or high-temperature applications. With the growing healthcare industry, the market for polyimides in its applications is expected to grow.
  • According to a recent analysis from the United States Federal Government Actuaries, the expenditure on the United States’ healthcare reached USD 3.65 trillion. This is considered, by far, the highest spending in the world, according to the Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development.
  • Healthcare has become one of the India’s largest sectors due to its strengthening coverage, services, and increasing expenditure by public and private players. The government’s expenditure on the healthcare sector increased to 1.4%.
  • According to India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), the healthcare market in India is expected to reach USD 372 billion by year 2022, due to the rise in incomes, greater health awareness, lifestyle diseases, and the increasing access to insurance. The hospital industry is expected to register a CAGR of around 16-17%, to reach USD 132.84 billion, by 2022.
  • Such factors are expected to drive the healthcare industry, and in turn, increasing the consumption of polyimides in its applications.

China to Dominate the Asia-Pacific Region

  • China is one of the fastest growing economies globally, and almost all the end-user industries have been growing due to the rising population, living standards, and the per capita income.
  • However, owing to the international trade turbulences and unfavorable geopolitical affairs, the growth rate is expected to slow down in the initial years of forecast period. The growth is expected to take up the pace in the later part of forecast period, considering the favorable conditions and relations in the future.
  • Polyimide materials are used in the electronics industry for flexible cables and as insulating films on magnetic wires. Additionally, polyimide resin is used as an insulating and passivation layer in the manufacture of integrated circuits.
  • China has the world’s largest electronics production base. Electronic products, such as smartphones, OLED TVs, tablets, wires, cables, and earphones, recorded the highest growth in the electronics segment. The country serves not only domestic demand for electronics, but also exports electronic output to other countries.
  • In China, with the increase in the disposable incomes of the middle-class population and the rising demand for electronic products in the countries importing electronic products from China, the production of electronics is estimated to grow further.
  • According to the Industry, Science, and Technology International Strategy Center (ISTI), the production value of Taiwan’s semiconductor industry is anticipated to grow substantially due to the increasing demand for integrated circuit (IC) devices for artificial intelligence applications.
  • Such growth in healthcare, electronics & semiconductor industries is expected to drive the polyimides market.
