Electronics and machinery industries rising as the most profitable
- PEEK resin is popular in many industries due to its lightweight nature and high quality in terms of strength, low fatigue, and low flammability. It resists combustion up to almost 600 °C. Asia-Pacific accounted for 41% of the overall global consumption of PEEK in 2022, making it the largest consumer of PEEK in the world.
- The automotive industry holds the largest market share in volume terms, which accounted for 28% of the region's total PEEK consumption in 2022. The Chinese automotive industry was the region's largest PEEK consumer in 2022. China is an emerging exporter of small- and medium-sized vehicles, with companies like Geely, Chery, and BYD setting up manufacturing plants in the country to penetrate developing vehicle markets abroad. This factor is expected to increase the production of vehicles and the usage of PEEK in the country in the future. Vehicle production in China is expected to reach 64.7 million units by 2029 compared to 46.6 million units in 2022.
- The electrical and electronics industry is the fastest-growing industry in terms of value. The industry is predicted to register a CAGR of 9.01% in terms of value during the forecast period (2023-2029). PEEK is commonly used in the semiconductor industry due to its high electric insulation properties. PEEK is used to manufacture wafer bearers, electronic insulating films, printed circuit boards, high-temperature connectors, cable plugs, battery housing, etc. The growing demand for semiconductor chips and PCBs is anticipated to increase the consumption of PEEK in the coming years. For instance, Asia-Pacific's electrical and electronics production revenue is expected to reach USD 6,742 billion by 2029 compared to USD 4,301 billion in 2022.

Market Definition
- End-user Industry - Automotive, Aerospace, Industrial Machinery, Electrical & Electronics, and Others are the end-user industries considered under the polyether ether ketone market.
- Resin - Under the scope of the study, virgin polyether ether ketone resin in primary forms such as powder, pellet, etc. are considered.
| Keyword | Definition |
|---|---|
| Acetal | This is a rigid material that has a slippery surface. It can easily withstand wear and tear in abusive work environments. This polymer is used for building applications such as gears, bearings, valve components, etc. |
| Acrylic | This synthetic resin is a derivative of acrylic acid. It forms a smooth surface and is mainly used for various indoor applications. The material can also be used for outdoor applications with a special formulation. |
| Cast film | A cast film is made by depositing a layer of plastic onto a surface then solidifying and removing the film from that surface. The plastic layer can be in molten form, in a solution, or in dispersion. |
| Colorants & Pigments | Colorants & Pigments are additives used to change the color of the plastic. They can be a powder or a resin/color premix. |
| Composite material | A composite material is a material that is produced from two or more constituent materials. These constituent materials have dissimilar chemical or physical properties and are merged to create a material with properties unlike the individual elements. |
| Degree of Polymerization (DP) | The number of monomeric units in a macromolecule, polymer, or oligomer molecule is referred to as the degree of polymerization or DP. Plastics with useful physical properties often have DPs in the thousands. |
| Dispersion | To create a suspension or solution of material in another substance, fine, agglomerated solid particles of one substance are dispersed in a liquid or another substance to form a dispersion. |
| Fiberglass | Fiberglass-reinforced plastic is a material made up of glass fibers embedded in a resin matrix. These materials have high tensile and impact strength. Handrails and platforms are two examples of lightweight structural applications that use standard fiberglass. |
| Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) | Fiber-reinforced polymer is a composite material made of a polymer matrix reinforced with fibers. The fibers are usually glass, carbon, aramid, or basalt. |
| Flake | This is a dry, peeled-off piece, usually with an uneven surface, and is the base of cellulosic plastics. |
| Fluoropolymers | This is a fluorocarbon-based polymer with multiple carbon-fluorine bonds. It is characterized by high resistance to solvents, acids, and bases. These materials are tough yet easy to machine. Some of the popular fluoropolymers are PTFE, ETFE, PVDF, PVF, etc. |
| Kevlar | Kevlar is the commonly referred name for aramid fiber, which was initially a Dupont brand for aramid fiber. Any group of lightweight, heat-resistant, solid, synthetic, aromatic polyamide materials that are fashioned into fibers, filaments, or sheets is called aramid fiber. They are classified into Para-aramid and Meta-aramid. |
| Laminate | A structure or surface composed of sequential layers of material bonded under pressure and heat to build up to the desired shape and width. |
| Nylon | They are synthetic fiber-forming polyamides formed into yarns and monofilaments. These fibers possess excellent tensile strength, durability, and elasticity. They have high melting points and can resist chemicals and various liquids. |
| PET preform | A preform is an intermediate product that is subsequently blown into a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottle or a container. |
| Plastic compounding | Compounding consists of preparing plastic formulations by mixing and/or blending polymers and additives in a molten state to achieve the desired characteristics. These blends are automatically dosed with fixed setpoints usually through feeders/hoppers. |
| Plastic pellets | Plastic pellets, also known as pre-production pellets or nurdles, are the building blocks for nearly every product made of plastic. |
| Polymerization | It is a chemical reaction of several monomer molecules to form polymer chains that form stable covalent bonds. |
| Styrene Copolymers | A copolymer is a polymer derived from more than one species of monomer, and a styrene copolymer is a chain of polymers consisting of styrene and acrylate. |
| Thermoplastics | Thermoplastics are defined as polymers that become soft material when it is heated and becomes hard when it is cooled. Thermoplastics have wide-ranging properties and can be remolded and recycled without affecting their physical properties. |
| Virgin Plastic | It is a basic form of plastic that has never been used, processed, or developed. It may be considered more valuable than recycled or already used materials. |
