Polyether Ether Ketone (PEEK) Market is expected to reach USD 765.7 million by 2020: Radiant Insights, Inc

Global polyether ether ketone (PEEK) market is expected to reach USD 765.7 million by 2020. Shift towards reducing overall weight of automobiles by substituting metals with high performance plastics is expected to drive the global PEEK market over the forecast period. Stringent regulations particularly in the U.S. and Europe to minimize fuel consumption by improving fuel efficiency have prompted PEEK adoption across the automotive industry. Superior performance features have also contributed towards its increasing penetration across medical, food, semiconductors, aerospace and industrial sectors. High price of PEEK compared to other plastics is expected to remain a key challenge for market participants.

Glass filled emerged as the leading PEEK product and accounted for 47.6% of total market volume in 2013. Glass filled PEEK is widely used across electrical & electronics and industrial applications. Growth of electrical & electronics industry in Asia Pacific is expected to fuel this segment over the forecast period. Carbon filled PEEK is expected to witness the highest growth of 8.8% from 2014 to 2020 on account of its increasing application base across clinical and aerospace industries.
