High Performance Plastics Market - Forecast(2021 - 2026)
High Performance Plastics Market size is forecast to reach $31.98 billion by 2025, after growing at a CAGR of 9.30% during 2020-2025. High performing plastics are specially designed polymers with high mechanical strength, chemical resistance, and, all-importantly, temperature resistance. Stability at high temperature is the main criterion used to differentiate high performance plastics from regular plastics. Most of the high performance polymers are produced by the polycondensation process as amorphous, semi-crystalline or liquid crystalline polymers. The major types of HPPs are fluoropolymers, high performance polyamides, polyphenylene sulfide, sulfone polymers, liquid crystal polymers, aromatic ketone polymers, and poly-imide.

By Type - Segment Analysis
Fluropolymers segment held a significant share in high performance plastics market in 2019. Fluoropolymers are fluorocarbon-based, high-performance plastics used in many unique, highly specialized applications. Fluoropolymers such as FEP, PFA and PTFE belong to the category of high performance plastics. These fluoropolymers are very resistant to nearly all chemical compounds and solvents. Distinguishing features of FEP, PFA and PTFE are their excellent sliding characteristic and very good biocompatibility. With unmatched temperature and chemical resistance, unique electrical performance and decreased friction, fluoropolymers are high-performance plastics that help manufacturers produce lighter-weight vehicles that are extremely reliable.
By End-Use Industry - Segment Analysis
Transportation segment held a significant share in high performance plastics market in 2019 growing at a CAGR of 9.41% during the forecast period. High performance plastics help achieve transport solutions that combine high performance, competitive pricing, safety, strength and minimal environmental impact. Advancements in engineered plastics and composites have led to significant improvements in fuel efficiency and safety of mass transit vehicles, including trains and buses. High performance plastics have long been one of the most popular materials used in the manufacturing of mass transit vehicles due to desired qualities such as high strength to weight ratio, high wear and corrosion resistance, and fire and flame resistance.
The global COVID-19 pandemic has led to a sudden pause to manufacturing activities across the globe, affecting the demand for plastics and also production & processing of them. The most critically impacted end-use segments of the plastics industry include automotive & transportation, consumer goods, industrial equipment, construction, and electronics.
