Polyoxymethylene Market By Application, Industry Size, Growth, Share And Forecast To 2022

Published By: Brisk Insights | Published On: Jul 27, 2016

Key Findings


The global polyoxymethylene market is expected to grow with aCAGR of 4.12%during the forecast periodof 2016-2022.


Polyoxymethylene is a high performance engineering plastic and possesses various enhanced properties such as high impact resistance, high strength, dimensional stability, and fatigue resistance. Polyoxymethylene is also known as POM,and due to the presence of various desirable properties it is majorly used by the end user industries like electrical and electronics, consumer goods, automotive, and others.Growing demand of POM product in electrical and electronics industries is one of the factors that is majorly driving the growth of the market. POM are majorly used in electronics and electrical industries to make capacitors, insulators, and other various electronic components, as with the use of POM in various products makes them more effective and efficient. Electronics and electrical industries are the biggest consumer of polyoxymethylene, and it is followed by the transportation industry as the second largest consumers of POM among all end user industries. Rising demand of POM products in the transportation industry is largelydriving forgrowth of the global POM market. POM is considered to be the best substitute with various metallic parts of the vehicles that canmake the vehicle light weight and more fuel efficient.POM is majorly used by the transportation industries because of its various properties like creep resistance at raised temperature, excellent chemical resistance,dimensional stability, and high stiffnessdue to which the vehicle manufacturersprefer to replace its metallic parts with lighter and more efficient POM parts. Bio-based engineering plastics, traditional materials, and other polymers are the substitutes and competitorsfor POM, which is acting as a major restraint for the market. Some of the opportunities for the global polyoxymethylene market are the use of natural gas to make the raw material and the increasing use of metal and UV detectable POM in thefood and packaging industries. For the past few years, the consumption of processed food is continuously growing in the emerging countriesmarket; and due to this, the usage of POM is growing in demand in processed food market.The global polyoxymethylene market is also facing certain challenge due to the lack of awareness among the consumers.


Market Segment Insight


The global market of polyoxymethylene is segmented on the basis of application and regional outlook. On the basis of applicationsmarket has been categorized intoautomotive, electrical and electronics, consumers, transportation, and other applications. In the application segment,almost all the sub segments dominate the market growth of the global polyoxymethylene market. Though, electrical and electronics, andtransportation segments are majorly dominating the market share and are driving the market growth,with electrical and electronics industry application having the largest share, and is followed by the transportation industry application is the second position, in terms of consumption of polyoxymethylene products among all industries. In the automotive industries application, POM is used in manufacturing various parts and components of the vehicle such as door locks; side covers; fuel pump modules; combination switches; door lock actuators; seating systems; seat belt adjusters; drive train transmission; clock springs; fuel filters; loud speaker grills; and, others.


Regional Insight


On the basis of geography the polyoxymethylene market is divided into North America; Europe; Asia Pacific; Middle East and Africa; and, Latin America. Asia Pacifichas the largest market share of global polyoxymethylene market due to the growing demand of automotive and electrical and electronic productsin the Asia Pacific region. Asia Pacific region includes India, Japan, Indonesia, and China which is predicted to be the fastest growing market during the forecast period of 2016-2022.North America and Europe are the developed regions and the growth of end user industries in these regions is slow and stagnant, hence, it is predicted that the market growth of these regions will be quite slow as compare to Asia Pacific region.


Competitive Insights


Some of the key players of the industries areA. Schulman Inc.; Asahi Kasei Chemicals Corporation; BASF SE; Buhler AG; Celanese Corporation; Daicel Corporation; E.I. Dupont De Nemours & Company; Formosa Plastics Corporation USA; Kolon Plastics, Inc.; Korea Engineering Plastics (KEP); LG Chem Ltd.; Mitsubishi Engineering Plastics Corporation; Polyplastics Company Ltd.; Sabic Innovative Plastics USA LLC; Yunnan Yuntianhua Co. Ltd.
