Global Polyamide-Imide Market by Application (Molding Resins, Coatings, Fabric, Wire Enameling) and Region (North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific and Middle East & Africa), Forecast To 2028

Industry Insights

Global Polyamide-Imide market was valued at USD 387.6 Million in 2015. It is projected to grow 6.3% during the forecast period. The market for PAI is expected to grow due to the increasing demand for high-temperature thermoplastics in different applications within the aerospace and automotive industries.

There are many commercially available product grades, including molding resins, coatings, films, adhesives and fibers. In molding resin and fiber applications, polyamide-imide is a significant ingredient. Its enhanced thermal resistance of up 270 degrees C can explain this. The large-scale adoption and long-term stability of PAI products in the aviation and aircraft industries has contributed to their chemical resistance to conventional solvents, lubricants and acids.

PAI is one of the amorphous high-temperature plastics that are available. This includes polyether ketone, polyphenylene sulfuride, and polyphenylene. These plastics can be extruded and molded to produce high-tolerance applications. The commercial forms of this application include powder, fibers, or injection molded. Its enhanced electrical insulation characteristic has driven its demand for components and materials for electric & electronic, protective clothing and bearings.

Polyamide-imide is in high demand due to its light weight and versatility. Major industries like automotive, aerospace and energy & power are moving towards replacing metallic seals or bearings in compressors and engines. Steel cages, bronze bushings and hardened steel balls are some of the materials that could be replaced by PAI.

The market for PAI plastics will grow over the next eight year due to increased use of lightweight plastics to replace steel and aluminum. PAI plastics have a lot more advantages than steel and aluminum due to their superior impact strength, ease of moldability, improved aesthetics as well as vibration & noise control. There is also an increasing use of PAI plastics in conjunction to metals, industrial machines, and process equipment.

Over the forecast period, there will be a growing demand for polymers that have enhanced insulation properties. This will drive demand for polyamide-imide in the electrical and electronics industry. Consumer awareness about fuel-efficient cookware is driving nonstick cookware demand. Non-stick cookware has also seen a rise in demand for healthy and innovative food recipes throughout Asia Pacific and Europe.

Safety regulations and strict occupational health standards have encouraged the adoption of more safety measures in various industries, such as construction, oil & gas, and manufacturing. The heat-resilient properties of polyamide-imide fibre are expected to drive fiber application demand over the forecast period.

Regional Insights

Asia Pacific accounted for 31.6% market share in 2015 and was the largest region market. Logistics divisions of different automotive industry players can attribute the shift towards lightweight components to an economic strategy. Over the forecast period, polyamide-imide will be driven by the rising demand for energy-efficient materials in electrical and electronics industries.

In 2015, North America's polyamide-imide market was responsible for 28.2% of global revenue. The growing aerospace and automotive industries can be blamed for the high demand for extruded and compounded high-performance plastics. Over the next eight year, polyamide-imide-based component demand will be driven by ongoing investments and capacity expansions by different automakers in Canada and the U.S.
