Polyphthalamide Market Segmented By Glass Fiber Filled, Carbon Fiber Filled, Mineral Fiber Filled, Unfilled Product in Automotive and Transportation, Electricals and Electronics, Industry Equipment, Consumer and Personal Care
Polyphthalamide (PPA) is a high heat resistant, semi-crystalline and partially aromatic polyamide. It has high dimensional stability, good chemical resistance, low moisture absorption and excellent mechanical properties. Due to these qualities PPA is ideal for use in high temperature conditions or in a chemical environment.
It is a subset of thermoplastic synthetic resins. ASTM D5336 defines polyphthalamide (PPA) as a polyamide in which the residues of purified terephthalic acid or isophthalic acid or a combination of the two comprise at least 55 molar percent of the dicarboxylic acid portion of the repeating structural units in the polymer chain.
The global polyphthalamide market is expected to increase at a value CAGR of 5.6% over the forecast period (2016–2024).

High deflection and high transition temperature properties of polyphthalamide (PPA) are anticipated to surge its consumption in producing automotive body-parts, in turn, driving the overall market growth globally. Government regulations to decrease automotive emissions has led manufacturers to take measures for increasing overall fuel economy of vehicles.
Polyphthalamide, due to its superior characteristics, is found to have been increasing the working lifespan of components along with reduction in weight, leading to improved fuel efficiency. However, due to its higher production costs, PPA with filler material is largely being utilized for high-end applications, and is yet to become popular among the mass uses of the product.
