January 2023 | Report Format: Electronic (PDF)

Specialty Polyamides Market Growth & Trends

The global specialty polyamides market size is expected to reach USD 4.31 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 6.8% over the forecast period, according to a new study by Grand View Research, Inc. Rising concerns regarding automotive fuel efficiency and favorable government regulations regarding the use of polyamides in the automotive, textile, and consumer goods industries are expected to drive the global market over the forecast period. With the increasing focus on green technologies and sustainability, the use of specialty polyamide in the automotive industry is expected to increase over the forecast period.

Globalization, coupled with an increase in consumer disposable income, is projected to drive the global automotive sector, which is further expected to augment market growth. Moreover, the high strength-to-weight ratio of the product has made it popular in other transportation industries, such as aerospace & defense. It is majorly used in the components of military aircraft and helicopters to reduce their overall weight to a large extent. Based on the product segment, high-temperature polyamide demand is anticipated to advance at a significant growth rate over the forecast period. Long-chain specialty polyamides are traditionally used to produce monofilaments, which are further used in a broad range of high chemical resistance and good dimensional stability applications.

Some of the key applications of long-chain specialty polyamides include cooler hoses, fuel lines, transmission oil, corrugated tubes, sensors & solenoids, oil & gas transportation, hand-held devices, and hydraulic applications. The electrical & electronics application segment is projected to witness substantial growth during the forecast period. Polyamides are used in display technologies, home electronics, mobile electronics, smart devices, and electrical components. Electronic devices and assemblies are getting smaller and hence, dissipate high amounts of heat. In addition, the demand for thermally conductive plastics for household applications has risen sharply in recent years.

This trend is expected to continue driving product demand over the coming years. Specialty polyamide filled with electrically conductive materials provides resistance to Electrostatic Discharge (ESD), Electromagnetic Interference (EMI), and Radio-frequency Interference (RFI) shielding in electronic equipment, as well as for conveyor systems and trays used to manufacture semiconductor chips. Common fillers in this application include carbon powder, carbon fiber, stainless steel fiber, and nickel-coated carbon fiber. Other application areas include wiring & associated devices, batteries, switches, industrial connectors, and mobile parts.
