Market Insights

Market Research Future has released its report on the super engineering plastics market for the forecast period of 2022-2030. The market is set to witness significant growth due to various relevant factors. Engineering plastics have extensive uses due to their superior mechanical and thermal properties as compared to commodity plastics. Super engineering plastics take this one step further to offer high strength and superior thermal resistance. Other features of super engineering plastics include resistance to impact, high mechanical strength, self-lubricating, fire resistant, chemical stability, and several others. These features are the key driver of the market as they are high performance materials with extensive use across various end-use industries.

Used extensively in high temperature, and harsh environmental conditions, applications for super engineering plastics are diverse and can be found in automotive & transportation, packaging, electrical & electronics, healthcare, textiles, and sports, among others. Manufacturing of lightweight auto parts for increased fuel efficiency without compromising of strong, resistant materials is anticipated to increase the demand and sales of super engineerings plastics. The rapidly growing automotive industry and the use of super engineering plastics to increase the safety of vehicles will lead to growth for the global super engineering plastics market. Moreover, their high insulation properties make them ideal for use in handlebars and plug connectors of electronic devices. Presently, these plastics are produced in small quantities and are used for low volume applications. However, advancing technology, and increasing R&D activities are anticipated to produce cost-effective, and superior super engineering plastics for the market, thus creating opportunities for future growth.
