Heat resistant polymers help in preventing degradation at extreme temperatures. These polymers are used in the construction of small, airplane cabins, enclosed spaces, such as boats and skyscrapers. Heat resistant polymers are also used in manufacturing military materials, such as canvas tenting, aerospace materials, and as adhesives in insulation for electronics.
The global heat resistant polymers market is likely to grow rapidly in the years ahead, owing to the growing investments made in the electronics, aerospace, and automotive sectors. Rapid industrialization in developing countries, such as Mexico, Brazil, China, India, and Indonesia, is propelling the automotive industry. This, in turn, is expected to drive the heat resistant polymers market growth globally in the future. Heat resistant polymers are widely used in fuel systems and coolant systems. Thus, the thriving industries globally are extensively using heat resistant polymers in various applications, which, in turn, is anticipated to drive the heat resistant polymers market over the estimated timeframe. However, the high processing cost of heat resistant polymers might obstruct the heat resistant polymers market growth over the forecast time period.
The global heat resistant polymers market is segmented on the basis of type and end-user industry. By type, the global heat resistant polymers market includes polyimides, polyphenylene sulfide, fluoropolymers, polyether ether ketone (PEEK), polybenzimidazole (PBI), and others. Fluoropolymers-based heat resistant polymers held 49% of the share of the global heat resistant polymers market in 2016 and are projected to dominate the heat resistant polymers market in the future. This can be attributed to their versatility like high chemical resistance, high dimensional stability, resistance to bases, acids, and solvents, etc. By end-user industry, this global market includes electronics and electrical, transportation, and others. The transportation segment is expected to dominate the market globally, owing to the growing automotive industry across the globe.
By region, the global heat resistant polymers market includes North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East and Africa. In 2017, the Asia Pacific region dominated the heat resistant polymers and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast time period as well. Rapid industrialization in the region is fuelling the demand for heat resistant polymers in the automotive and other transportation industry, which, in turn, is anticipated to drive this regional market’s growth in the future. In the Latin American region, the flourishing automotive industry is expected to propel the heat resistant polymers market in the years ahead.
