As a result, the expanding electrical and electronics sector is a significant driving driver for the high performance polyamides market.
High performance polyamides are in high demand in a variety of end-use industries, including automotive, electrical and electronics, industrial, medical and health care, and others. This is due to the fact that high performance polyamides are excellent thermoplastic materials with higher tensile strength, superior flow properties, greater dimensional stability, improved chemical resistance, lower water absorption, and greater processing versatility than other thermoplastic materials and metals. As a result, high performance polyamides are favoured over metals and other plastics in car underhood engine parts and engine covers, wire and circuit board insulation, electronic housing & components, and other applications. High performance polyamides' exceptional properties prove to be an excellent driver for the high performance polyamides market.
The High-Performance Polyamides Market segmentation, based on type includes PA 12, PA 11, PA 10, and PA 6T. In 2022, the PA 12 segment topped the market. This considerable share is due to its excellent mechanical qualities, which include tensile strength, rigidity, toughness, and surface hardness. Polyamide 12 (PA 12) is principally used in the manufacture of trailer brake hoses, gasoline lines, football shoe soles, water pipes, air and spray-painting hoses, and other similar products. The material's capacity to offer a moisture barrier is boosting demand over the forecast period.
