Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) has huge market demand and good prospects for future industry development

Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is a semi-crystalline product produced by the condensation reaction of 4,4′-difluorobenzophenone and hydroquinone in the presence of alkali metal carbonates, using diphenyl sulfone as the solvent. , thermoplastic engineering plastics. Polyetheretherketone has good processability, high temperature resistance, lubricity, creep resistance, etc. It can be used to process various mechanical parts and is widely used in transportation, aerospace, medical equipment, 3D printing, and household appliances. and other fields.

According to the “2021-2025 China Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) Market In-depth Research Report” released by the Industrial Research Center, the global Within the scope, Europe is the world’s largest consumer market for polyether ether ketone, accounting for nearly 35% of the market, followed by North America. In recent years, with the rise of emerging economies, the polyether ether ketone market in China, India, Southeast Asia and other regions has grown rapidly. China is one of the main driving forces for the growth of the global polyether ether ketone market. In 2020, domestic polyether ether ketone The market demand for ether ketone materials is close to 1,500 tons.

In the overseas market, the main suppliers of polyether ether ketone include Victrex, Solvay, Intron, RTP Company of Germany, etc. Victrex is the world’s largest manufacturer of polyether ether ketone. In the domestic market, the main suppliers of polyether ether ketone include Panjin Zhongrun, Jilin Zhongyan, Haoran Special Plastics, Fafa Technology, Changchun Jida Special Plastics, Zhejiang Pengfulong New Materials, etc., as related projects under construction and proposed are put into production , my country’s polyetheretherketone production capacity is steadily increasing.

Polyetheretherketone is one of the important raw materials for bone transplant products approved by the FDA. As an excellent substitute for traditional titanium materials, polyetheretherketone solves the problems of thermal expansion and contraction, fast thermal conductivity, and metal artifacts of traditional titanium materials. In recent years, with the upgrading of market demand, polyetheretherketone has gradually become favored by the market, and its market demand growth rate is much higher than that of traditional titanium materials. But overall, the application of polyetheretherketone materials in the medical field is still in the popularization stage. Due to the high price, the demand for polyetheretherketone materials mainly comes from top-level hospitals.

Polyetheretherketone has excellent properties and shows good application prospects in many fields. For example, in the field of transportation, polyetheretherketone materials meet the needs of automobile lightweighting. In the field of electronics and electrical appliances, polyetheretherketone meets the needs of integration of electronic components. , miniaturization development trend. With the release of downstream market demand, the market size of polyetheretherketone will expand year by year. It is expected that the global polyetheretherketone market size will reach more than US$1 billion in 2025.

Industry analysts said that in recent years, thanks to the growth in demand in electronic appliances, transportation, medical and other fields, polyetheretherketone The market size is gradually expanding, and the future development prospects of the industry are good. At this stage, my country has become one of the most important polyetheretherketone markets in the world. With the improvement of domestic enterprises’ R&D capabilities and the advancement of related technologies, my country’s polyetheretherketone industry will develop in a high-end and international direction in the future.
