Product Insights of Specialty Polyamides Market

The product segment consists of long-chain, high-temperature polyimides, and MXD6/PARA specialty polyamide. High temperature polyamide segment dominated the market in 2018 and is expected to maintain its dominance over the forecast period. High-temperature polyamides are high-crystalline and differ from other specialty polyamides, such as PA 11, PA 12, PA 6/10, and PA 6/12 on account of their mechanical and thermal properties. High-temperature polyamides include PA46, PA4T, PA6T/6, PA6T/66, PA6T/6I, PA6T/6I/66, PA6T/DT, PA6T/66/DT, PA9T, and PA10T. High-temperature polyamides are cost-effective and high-performance materials that offer durability, strength, and easy processing. End-product manufacturers from various applications prefer high-performance polyamides when the objective is to improve strength, enhance thermal performance, durability, reduce weight, and ease processing.

Application Insights of Specialty Polyamides Market

Automotive and transportation was the largest application segment, accounting for over 37.36% of the revenue share in 2018.Specialty polyamides are commonly utilized in automotive industry as they fulfill the need for automotive thermal management components. It maintains excellent toughness and strength during its exposure to hot automobile fluids. It finds major applications in the aforementioned areas owing to its excellent balance of oil resistance, mechanical strength, toughness, thermal stability, and design flexibility. In automotive and transportation application, the demand is expected to be driven by PA 12, PA 11, PA 4/6, and PA 6/12 grades of the product. These grades are typically used in airbag containers, engine covers, air intake manifolds, tire cords, hoses and tubing, automotive cooling systems, headlamp bezels, exterior automobile parts including door and tailgate handles, fuel caps and lids, wheel covers, and front-end grilles among others.

Regional Insights of Specialty Polyamides Market

Asia Pacific was the dominant regional segment occupying over 41% of revenue share in 2018 followed by North America. In 2018, Asia Pacific led by China, India, and Japan; emerged as the fastest growing regional market by both volume and revenue. Availability of low-cost raw materials and labor and increased spending power are the major driving factors for the growth. In addition, huge untapped market and supportive government policies are luring the global specialty polyamide manufacturers to set up their manufacturing and distribution facilities in the region. Fluctuation in electric voltage and loads is common in Asia Pacific compared to developed economies of Europe and North America. The electricity fluctuations generate more demand for electric protection devices, which can minimize the economic loss. Specialty polyamides are gaining attention from electrical and electronics manufacturers as plastic parts are more compact and can be easily integrated with other components, thus simplifying the design procedure. Asia Pacific is expected to register the fastest growth owing to rising per capita income in emerging economies, expanding middle-class population, and improving standard of living. Rapidly developing automobile manufacturing industries are also supplementing the demand for the product in regional market.
