Polyether Ether Ketone (PEEK) Market Segmented By types such as unfilled, glass filled and carbon filled with application such as automotive, aerospace, medical, electronics & electrical and others
Over the years, chemical and metallurgical advancements have produced several polymers that possess properties relatively better than or comparable to those of metals. Polyether ether ketone (PEEK) is a semi-crystalline thermoplastic comprising repetitive monomers of two ether groups and a ketone group. Polyether ether ketone (PEEK) belongs to the polyaryletherketone (PAEK) family and is obtained by the dialkylation of bisphenolate salts through step growth polymerization process.
Polyether ether ketone (PEEK) is witnessing a growth in adoption in various applications owing to its relatively superior mechanical properties along with high thermal and chemical stability. Polyether ether ketone (PEEK) is commonly used for high temperature applications which require combination of superior thermal, chemical and combustion properties.

Physical characteristics such as low moisture absorption, superior mechanical & electrical properties and ability to retain these properties at relatively higher temperatures render the material ideal for a wide range of specialty applications. Demand for Polyether ether ketone (PEEK) has witnessed a strong growth especially in applications pertaining to aerospace industry due to comparatively light weight, relatively better high temperature performance and durability as compared to other conventional materials.
Growing concern towards ill-effects of pollution and pollutants emanating from automobiles have prompted industry participants to resort to automotive light-weighting wherein adoption of alternative lightweight materials for fabrication of components which were otherwise made from conventional materials so as to better address efficiency and pollution related issues has been laid emphasis on. Such developments are expected to drive the growth in demand for polyether ether ketone during the forecast period.
Moreover, polyether ether ketone is bio compatible material and is gaining wider acceptance in the medical field. MRI compatibility, sterilization resistance and lack of toxicity are among other major characteristics that make polyether ether ketone (PEEK) suitable for various medical applications. However, relatively higher cost of the material is expected to restrict the use of polyether ether ketone to certain relatively higher value applications.
