Market Overview

High performance polymers have been reported to have more significant potential for use in more challenging areas such as aerospace, defense, energy, electronics, and automotive compared to commodities and traditional polymers. These polymers have higher operating temperatures in extreme conditions, excellent mechanical strength, dimensional stability, thermal degradation resistance, environmental stability, gas barriers, solvent resistance, and electrical properties even at high temperatures. They are usually much more difficult to supply and significantly more expensive, owing entirely to more advanced complicated monomers. However, as the polymer's problem grows, so does the resulting polymer. PolyEtherEtherKetone (PEEK) is one of these high-performance polymers. With over 300 participants, it is a PAEK (Poly Aryl Ether Ketones) own circle of polymer relatives. However, only a few are commercialized. The aromatic PEEK polymer is composed of repeating ether, ether, and ketone linkages separated by aryl groups.

Driving Factors

High performance polymers have high applicability in construction sector due to their ability to withstand high temperature and pressure. As a result, they are used as building insulation, and as nanocomposites and phthalonitrile adhesives, they improve the bonding strength of structures at high temperatures. The construction sector in developed economies such as the United States has grown significantly due to an increase in residential construction. Increased residential unit issuance and healthcare construction spending will boost overall construction activity in the United States, resulting in increased use of high-performance polymers in the construction sector. This will help the high performance polymers industry in the United States grow. Boeing, one of the world's largest commercial aircraft manufacturers, has a hub in the United States. Due to an increase in air traffic, demand for commercial aircrafts has increased, resulting in an increase in the delivery rate of such aircrafts.

Restraining Factors

Exploration and drilling for oil have a negative impact on land and marine ecosystems because seismic techniques used to explore for oil beneath the ocean floor harm fish and marine mammals, and drilling an oil well on land frequently necessitates clearing an area of vegetation. As a result, in order to address such environmental concerns, the U.S government has implemented new policies.

Market Segment

• In 2023, the polyaryletherketones segment accounted for the largest revenue share over the forecast period.

Based on the type, the United States high performance polymers market is segmented into polyaryletherketones, aromatic polyamides, fluoropolymers, sulfone polymers, liquid crystalline polymer, resins,and others.
