Market Overview:
The global polyimide prepreg market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% from 2018 to 2030. The growth in the market can be attributed to the increasing demand for lightweight and high-performance materials in aerospace and defense, transportation, and other applications. Polyimide prepregs are used in various end-use industries owing to their properties such as high thermal stability, chemical resistance, low dielectric constant, and excellent mechanical properties. Out-of-autoclave curing is a process that is used for manufacturing polyimide prepregs using low pressure equipment. This process helps reduce the manufacturing time and cost of products.
Product Definition:
Polyimide prepreg is a composite material made from a polyimide film and an epoxy resin. The polyimide film provides strength and stiffness, while the epoxy resin provides toughness and resistance to heat. Polyimide prepreg is used in aerospace, automotive, and other high-performance applications where its combination of properties is needed.
Autoclave Curing:
Autoclave curing is a method of producing cross-linked polyimide prepreg using high temperature and pressure in an autoclave. This process produces highly efficient products with superior properties as compared to the other available methods. Autoclaving at elevated temperatures of around 130°C for 30 minutes results in the production of fully or nearly cross-linked polyimide, which has excellent tensile strength, flexural modulus and elongation at breakage along with good chemical resistance.
Out-of-Autoclave Curing:
Out-of-autoclave curing is a method of crosslinking polymers that are prepared in the absence of autoclaves. Out-of-autoclave curing (OoAC) has gained significant importance owing to its advantages such as cost reduction, higher productivity, and less time consumption. The process can be carried out under diverse conditions such as room temperature, elevated temperature, or accelerated rates with the use of different catalysts.
Application Insights:
Aerospace and defense was the largest application segment in 2017. Polyimide prepreg is used to manufacture aircraft interiors, including seats, walls and ceiling panels as well as cabin equipment. It¢â‚¬â„¢s also utilized for manufacturing lightweight parts for use in airframes that are prone to fatigue. In addition, it finds applications in aerospace components such as turbines, blades and rotary blades where high strength-to-weight ratio is required.
Polyimide prepreg is widely utilized for manufacturing of automotive interior trim components owing to its properties such as flame resistance along with electrical insulation and weathering resistance which enhance the durability of these parts over time.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific was the largest market for polyimide prepreg in 2016 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The presence of major aircraft manufacturers such as Boeing, Airbus, and Lockheed Martin coupled with rising defense expenditure by countries such as India and China are some of the factors anticipated to drive demand in this region.
The aerospace industry is one of the key sectors that use polyimide prepreg owing to their excellent properties including high strength-to-density ratio, lightweight, superior electrical performance under harsh environmental conditions (e.g., temperature changes). These characteristics have made it suitable for use in structural components as well as electronics applications requiring a high degree of protection from moisture or chemicals.
Europe accounted for 24% share in 2016 owing to growing automotive production particularly after Brexit which has led many companies including Jaguar Land Rover Limited; BMW Group; Ford Motor Company Europe S.p.A.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for lightweight and high-performance materials in aerospace and defense applications
- Growing demand for polyimide prepregs from the automotive industry for manufacturing fuel-efficient and low-emission vehicles
- Rising popularity of polyimide prepregs in the electrical and electronics industry due to their superior thermal stability, mechanical strength, and chemical resistance
- Proliferation of new applications for polyimide prepregs in industries such as medical devices, wind energy, and marine engineering
- Technological advancements that have led to the development of more efficient production processes for polyimide prepregs, resulting in lower manufacturing costs
