 Industry Outlook.svg)
Product Definition:
A engineering thermoplastic used in precision parts and equipment. It has high strength, stiffness, and dimensional stability.
Homopolymer POM:
Homopolymer POM, also known as Acetal or Polyoxymethylene (POM) is a synthetic polymer with properties similar to that of Polymethyl Methacrylate (PMMA), but at a lower cost. It has high impact resistance and good surface hardness, making it suitable for applications in automotive parts such as headlamp lenses and exterior body panels. Increasing demand from the automotive industry is expected to drive the global market over the forecast period.
Copolymer POM:
It has properties similar to that of polyoxypropylene, but on analysis it turns out to be much more expensive. It is used in various applications including packaging and consumer goods.
Application Insights:
The automotive application segment led the global market in 2016 and accounted for more than 30.0% share of the overall revenue in 2017. The growing demand for lightweight and high-performance polyoxymethylene plastics is expected to drive the demand from this application over the forecast period.
Polyoxymethylene plays a crucial role in manufacturing automobile parts as it can be molded easily, has good impact strength, low shrinkage when exposed to heat, cold or pressure and is resistant to acids, alkalis & solvents. These properties have made polyoxymethylene an ideal material for use in automotive applications such as engine covers; transmission cases; hoods/bonnets; doors/trims; fuel caps & lids; rocker panels & covers (for vehicles) among others.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific was the largest market for polyoxymethylene plastics in 2016 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The region accounts for a major share of global automotive production, which has resulted in high demand from end-users such as automotive manufacturers and component suppliers. In addition, rising disposable income levels coupled with increasing consumer electronics production are expected to drive demand over the forecast period.
The presence of key players such as Nippon Paint Holdings Co., Ltd.; BASF SE; PPG Industries Inc.; Sherwin-Williams Company; AkzoNobel; Clariant International Ltd.; and 3M Company has led North America to be one of the most influential regions across global Polyoxymethylene (POM) market space. The region is characterized by technological advancements along with an increase in R&D activities that have resulted into higher consumption levels compared to other regions globally.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand from automotive and electrical & electronics industries
- Growing popularity of POM in medical implants and prosthetic devices
- Rising awareness about the benefits of POM among consumers
- Technological advancements that have led to the development of new grades of POM with better properties
