Market Overview:
The global thermally conductive plastic market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The growth in this market can be attributed to the increasing demand for thermally conductive plastics in electrical & electronics, automotive, industrial, healthcare and aerospace applications. Based on type, the global thermally conductive plastic market is segmented into polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), polyamide (PA), polycarbonate (PC), Polyetherimide (PEI) and Polystyrene sulfonate(PSU). PBT is expected to be the fastest growing type segment during the forecast period. This can be attributed to its properties such as high thermal stability and resistance against chemicals and solvents. Based on application, the global thermally conductive plastic market is segmented into electrical & electronics, automotive, industrial, healthcare and aerospace applications.
Product Definition:
Thermally conductive plastics are materials that can transfer heat very efficiently. This is important because it allows for electronic components to be cooled quickly, preventing them from overheating and damaging.
PPS:
Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) is a thermoplastic polymer, which contains strong sulfur groups. These polymers are widely used in the manufacturing of heat transfer fluids and electrical insulation materials. PPS has high thermal conductivity compared to Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET), Polypropylene (PP), and other common plastics with different cross-linking patterns.
PBT:
Poly Butylene Terephthalate (PBT) is a thermoplastic polymer with high heat distortion temperature and excellent mechanical strength. It offers superior performance to weight ratio, low density, high dimensional stability, and good chemical resistance. PBT has replaced the conventional polyester materials in many applications on account of its superior properties such as flame retardancy coupled with toughness at elevated temperatures.
Application Insights:
The automotive application segment led the global thermally conductive plastics market in 2017 and is projected to witness significant growth over the forecast period. Increasing use of thermally conductive materials in automobiles for heat management, power distribution, and cooling is expected to drive demand. In addition, growing focus on weight reduction by manufacturers is likely to propel demand from the automotive industry.
Thermally conductive plastics are used extensively across all major industries including electrical & electronics, industrial machinery/ equipment manufacturing (food processing plants), healthcare equipment manufacturing (dental dams), aerospace & defense applications (heat shields) owing to their excellent thermal insulation properties along with high dielectric strength and low maintenance cost. These factors are anticipated to fuel market growth over the forecast period.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific was the largest market for technologically advanced plastics in 2016 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The region accounts for nearly half of global population, and thus it has a huge impact on the demand as well as supply side of thermally conductive plastics. China is one of the key countries that have a positive influence on global plastic production trends, along with India.
The Asia Pacific market was followed by Europe which accounted for around 25% of total revenue share in 2016 owing to high automotive manufacturing rates in Germany, France and Italy coupled with aerospace & defense industry growth in Eastern European countries such as Russia and Poland.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for thermally conductive plastics from the electronics and semiconductor industries due to the miniaturization of electronic devices and rising demand for high-performance materials.
- Growing demand for thermally conductive plastics in LED lighting applications as a result of the increasing penetration of LEDs in lighting markets worldwide.
- Rising demand from automotive OEMs and suppliers for thermally conductive plastics in engine cooling systems, as well as chassis, exhaust, and other thermal management applications.
- Increasing use of thermally conductive plastics in medical device applications to improve heat dissipation and patient safety. 5) Growing popularity of 3D printing technology that is enabling new opportunities for using thermally conductive plastic filaments in additive manufacturing processes
