PEEK Filament Market

PEEK Filament Market: Overview and Dynamics

Polyether ether ketone (PEEK) is a colorless, organic thermoplastic polymer which is primarily used for 3D printing. PEEK filaments’ unique qualities such as exceptional impact strength and high durability makes it ideal choice in 3D printing applications. Other bundled advantages like high chemical resistivity and flame retardancy have made PEEK filament an ideal material in a range of applications.

PEEK filament offers impressive resistivity against high temperatures ranging up to 260o C due to which it is used in numerous applications which require equipment having the ability to withstand extreme temperature conditions. Attributed to the aforementioned facts, the global PEEK filament market is poised to embark on a positive growth trajectory, registering a CAGR of ~5% over the forecast period (2020-2030).

On the basis of end-use industry, automotive and medical industries are set to emerge as growth epicenter in the global PEEK filament market during the forecast period. The growth is attributed to the momentum towards light-weighting and vehicle electrification. PEEK filament is a semi-crystalline material with exceptional mechanical strength that has been extensively used in automotive applications. PEEK filament’s lightweight properties and ability to improve the performance of the electronics within a vehicle are set to bolster its demand over the forecast period.

Further, because of PEEK filaments robustness, it is in high demand from a range of applications including bearings, compressor plate valves, cable insulation, piston parts, pumps, HPLC columns, and others. However, PEEK filament not only has high cost but also requires high tech 3D printer to utilize its capabilities which may impact its adoption among end-users till midterm forecast.

COVID Impact Insights

The spread of the coronavirus has nearly forced all countries to impose lockdowns and strict social distancing measures which has disrupted every industry and market so the PEEK Filament market across the globe. As per UN stats global economy is estimated to suffer billion dollars of loss in 2020.

The coronavirus pandemic has generated massive disruptions in the demand-supply equation across multiple industries, causing a global economic meltdown. However, lockdown ease in Asia Pacific and several other countries across the globe are set to assist the global PEEK filament market growth in 2020.
