The global Polyether ether ketone (PEEK) market stood at approximately 12 million tonnes in 2022 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.67% during the forecast period until 2035. In 2022, Victrex plc began commissioning a new PEEK manufacturing plant in China which will begin operating in 2023 with an annual production capacity of 1500 tonnes of PEEK.
PEEK is a polyaromatic semi-crystalline, high-performance engineering thermoplastic, which belongs to the polyaryletherketone family. PEEK polymer is derived from step-growth polymerization by the dialkylation of Bisphenolate salts. It can be synthesized by using nucleophilic substitution of 4,4’-difluorobenzophenone or 1,4-bis(4-fluorobenzoyl) benzene with hydroquinone in the presence of Alkali carbonate under microwave irradiation to produce a good yield. Polyether Ether Ketone can be processed by using conventional method such as injection moulding, extrusion and compression monofilament. PEEK being processed by advanced 3D printing technology extends possible applications from patient-specific hearing aids to other surgical aids or instruments.
In comparison to other polymers, PEEK exhibits better properties, like resistance to chemicals, chemically inert and being insoluble in all solvents, resistance to high temperature, lightweight nature, generate extremely low toxic gas and smoke, biocompatible, bioresorbable, etc. The PEEK molecule is very stable in nature due to which it can be reprocessed with the least changes to its properties. This reduces the environmental impact and ensures that waste material from manufacturing processes can be re-used economically. PEEK polymers can withstand even harsh environments. This light thermoplastic polymer can support numerous requirements in various industries and has the tendency to replace metals.
Polyether Ether Ketone has gained popularity in various industries such as aerospace, automotive, electrical and electronics, medical, etc. PEEK polymers can replace Aluminium and other metals in several aircraft components in the aerospace market. It is also used in critical engines, aircraft exterior and interior parts providing excellent resistance to high temperature and rain erosion. With the increasing trend of small engine compartments. In the automotive market, PEEK offers weight reduction and noise reduction, resulting in the replacement of metals. The main application includes gear designing, washer and other active components used in transmission, braking and air conditioning system. In the medical sector, Polyether Ether Ketone finds application as the material of choice for implants. The global Polyether ether ketone (PEEK) market is anticipated to reach approximately 19 million tonnes by 2035.
