The Growing Aliphatic Polyketone Market Is Driven By Rising Automation And Advancements In Autonomous Vehicles

by

Aliphatic polyketones are a family of high performance engineering thermoplastics known for their high strength, stiffness and toughness even at elevated temperatures. They are increasingly being used in applications that require durability and resistance to heat, chemicals and impact. Automotive components such as intake manifolds, oil pans, gear shifter parts are now being manufactured using aliphatic polyketones owing to their ability to withstand high pressure and abrasion.

The global Aliphatic Polyketone Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 165.01 Bn in 2024 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 12% over the forecast period 2024 to 2031, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.

Market key trends:
One of the major trends driving the growth of the aliphatic polyketone market is the rising demand for autonomous vehicles. Automotive OEMs are focusing on developing self-driving cars integrated with advanced driver assistance systems and autonomous driving technologies which require durable materials that can withstand vibration and temperature fluctuations. Aliphatic polyketones are increasingly replacing metals in applications such as sensors as they exhibit high heat and chemical resistance along with high strength making them suitable for construction of autonomous car components. Their ability to withstand wear and impacts also makes them ideal for manufacturing brake components, clutch parts and gears among others. The demand for aliphatic polyketones from the automotive industry is thus expected to significantly increase over the forecast period.
