In United States, high performance polymers have high applicability in sector like automotive sectors where they are used in bearings and gears, in construction sector they are used as nanocomposites, while in oil & gas sector they are used in pipes. Factors like an increase in deliveries of commercial aircraft, growing construction activities, high demand for textile and an increase in production of aircraft are driving the growth of United States high performance polymers market. However, changes in oil and gas policies by new administration can impact oil & gas production level, thereby having negative impact on usage of high performance polymers in oil sector in United States. Hence, this can hamper the growth of United States high performance polymers industry.

COVID-19 pandemic had huge negative impact on major end user of high performance polymers in United States such as automotive, construction and aerospace sector. High performance polymers is used in automotive in thrust washers & seal rings, in aerospace it is used in valve seats and pump gears, while in construction activities, it is used as nanocomposites and phthalonitrile adhesives. Hence, due to lockdown implemented in order to prevent widespread of virus, the output of such sectors decreased. For instance, according to International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturer, in 2020, automotive production stood at 8.8 million units compared to 10.8 million units made in 2019, showing 18.5% decrease. Also, according to according to US Census Bureau, from January to May 2020, overall construction spending in US was reduced from US$68.4 billion to US$44.7 billion. Further, according to General Aviation of Manufacturers Association, in 2020, US manufactured aircraft shipment was 1,555 units in comparison with 1,771, showing 12% decrease. Such decrease in productivity of these sectors will create less usage of high performance polymers in them, which will negatively impact the United States high performance polymers industry.

United States High Performance Polymers Market Segment Analysis – By Type

Polyaryletherketones accounted for approximately 22% of United States high performance polymers market share in 2021. Polyaryletherketones is rich in chemical, mechanical properties and is anti-corrosive in nature due to which it has high applicability in sectors like automotive, aerospace and oil & gas. The rapid growth in these sectors in United States on account of the increase in their demand has positively impacted usage of polyaryletherketones. For instance, according to International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturer, in 2021, total vehicle production in US was 9.16 million units, showing 4% increase. Also, according to annual report of Boeing, in 2021, the revenue of the company on account of increased in production and sale, grew up to US$62,286 million in comparison with US$58,158 million made in 2020. Further, according to US Energy Information Administration, in 2019, crude oil production grew 11% surpassing 12 million barrels per day in comparison with 2018. Polyaryletherketones is used in automotive pistons and gears, in aircraft valve seats and in wear rings of oil pipelines. Hence, the increase in productivity of these sectors will increase the usage of polyaryletherketonesin United States, thereby boosting growth of United States high performance polymers industry.

United States High Performance Polymers Market Segment Analysis – By Application

Bearings & Gears accounted for approximately 27% of United States high performance polymers market share in 2021. High performance polymer such as polyaryletherketones and aromatic Polyamides has high thermal stability and excellent chemical resistance in high temperature, due to which they are majorly used in bears & gearing application in sectors like oil & gas. The increase in production level of crude of oil in United States on account of growing demand in oil market, has positively impacted the usage of high performance polymers solution for drilling components like bearing & gears. For instance, according to US Energy Information Administration, in November 2021, crude oil production of United States stood at 11.7 million barrels per day in comparison with 11.1 million barrels in 2020 same month, showing 5.4% increase. Such increase in oil production will increase the usage of high performance polymers in drilling components like bearing & gears due to their high mechanical properties. This will provide positive impact on the growth of United States high performance polymers industry.

United States High Performance Polymers Market Segment Analysis – By End Use Industry

Automotive sector accounted for approximately 25% of United States high performance polymers market share in 2021.

United States High Performance Polymers Market Challenge

Change in Policies for Oil and gas Leasing

Exploring and drilling for oil disturb land and marine ecosystems as seismic techniques used to explore for oil under the ocean floor harm fish and marine mammals while drilling an oil well on land often requires clearing an area of vegetation leading. Hence, in order to reduce such environmental issues, the US government has introduced new policies. For instance, in January 2021, Biden administration halted new oil and gas leasing on federal onshore lands and offshore waters on account of change in oil & gas policies and moreover recently US government cancelled oil drilling lease sales in Gulf of Mexico and Alaska due to such changes. Hence, such policy shift will have significant implications on oil and gas production which in return will negatively impact the usage of high performance polymers in oil & gas sector. This will hamper the growth of United States high performance polymer industry.
