Product Definition:
POM is a thermoplastic with excellent mechanical properties and good dimensional stability. It has high resistance to wear and fatigue, making it suitable for use in precision parts such as gears, bearings, cams, and sprockets.
POM-H:
Polyoxymethylene (POM) is a polymer with the formula CX3YZ. It is produced by the reaction of oxymethylene and one or more zirconium oxychloride molecules, where X, Y and Z are random variables that determine the molecular weight.
POM-C:
It has properties such as high dimensional stability, excellent resistance to hydrocarbons and solvents, low moisture absorption, high surface hardness and good processability. POM-C is one of the forms of polyoxymethylene; it has higher density than standard polyoxymethylene but lower density than engineering polyoxymethylene.
Application Insights:
Consumer goods sector dominated the global polyoxymethylene (POM) market, accounting for a revenue share of over 35.0% in 2017. The growing demand for products such as carpets, rugs and mats from countries like India and China is expected to drive the demand over the forecast period. In addition, rising consumer disposable income levels coupled with increasing spending on home furnishing items is anticipated to augment product consumption in this application segment over the next eight years.
Automotive industry accounted for a significant share in terms of revenue generation in 2017 owing to extensive usage of POM compounds as an alternative to plastics like polypropylene and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS).
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific was the largest regional market in 2016 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The growth of this region can be attributed to rising automotive production, construction activities, and consumer goods manufacturing industries. China emerged as a major producer of POM-H with an average annual capacity addition exceeding 100 kilotons from 2012 to 2016. Increasing demand for polyoxymethylene in various end-use sectors such as automotive, machinery & equipment is likely to drive industry expansion over the coming years.
The Asia Pacific was followed by Europe which accounted for 24% of global revenue share in 2017 owing to high product consumption mainly due to growing automobile industry across Germany, Italy, France and U.K.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand from automotive and transportation industries for lightweight yet durable components
- Growing popularity of POM in medical implants and prosthetics due to its biocompatibility
- Rising demand for POM in electrical and electronic equipment due to its heat resistance properties
- Increasing use of POM in construction and engineering applications for its high strength-to-weight ratio
- Growing research and development activities on polyoxymethylene plastics
