Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) Market Expand at a CAGR 7.1% During 2016-2024
Due to its excellent mechanical properties, polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is found suitable for use across diverse industries. However, on account of being technologically sensitive, the PEEK market restrained to niche applications. While this could limit the scope for its expansion, strategies adopted by producers to bolster production capacities will steer lucrative opportunities for the market. In addition, the rising research funding aimed at novel product development will augment the market’s pace of gains in the coming years.
On the down side, the high cost of a few grades of PEEK might inhibit its uptake across industries. Additionally, technological challenges of molding PEEK also create hindrances for the overall market. Nevertheless, with the development of new applications the market players will have immense opportunities to capitalize on in the future. Besides this, they are also expected to gain from the increasing demand across emerging regions. Transparency Market Research (TMR) forecasts the global polyetheretherketone market to exhibit a CAGR 7.1% between 2016 and 2024.
