Polyamide in Electronic Protection Device Market Segment Analysis - By Product Type

PA 6 segment held the largest share of more than 30% in the polyamide in electronic protection device market in the year 2020. PA 6 polyamide is generally used in applications where toughness, lubricity and wear & tear are required, such as gear wheels, rollers, bearings, power tool housings, electrical connectors, coil formers etc. It has excellent heat aging resistance and chemical resistance properties. PA 6 polyamide is also has an excellent surface appearance, especially in filled and reinforced versions, compared to other versions of polyamide, making it a preferred type of polyamide as compared to the other polyamides.PA 6 can withstand temperature up to 310 degree Celsius.

Polyamide in Electronic Protection Device Market Segment Analysis - By Type

Glass Fiber segment held the largest share of more than 30% in the polyamide in electronic protection device market in the year 2020. Glass content makes the product more rigid and flexible giving more stiffness and strength, even after absorbing humidity. The dimensional stability is also better compared to other types of material. It is used in many electrical parts like switches, sockets, plugs, and antenna-mounting devices. It has a specific resistance greater than steel and thus is used to make high-performance. The main feature of glass fiber is that it comes in varying sizes and can be easily combined with many synthetic resins. According to the European Glass Fibre Producers Association, the global glass fibre market reached revenue of US $ 40 billion in the year 2020. Thus, the growth in the glass fiber market, will also drive the growth of this this market.

Polyamide in Electronic Protection Device Market Segment Analysis - By Application

Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB) held the largest share of more than 25% in the polyamide in electronic protection device market in the year 2020. Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB) is being used extensively in the present days due to the easiness in handling the equipment and safety from electric shock in using the Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB). Handing a Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB) is electrically safer than a fuse, since it is properly insulated and coated. Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB) automatically switches off electrical circuit during any abnormal condition or any overload. Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB) is used in generators or invertors. 

Polyamide in Electronic Protection Device Market Segment Analysis - By Geography

Asia-Pacific region held the largest share of more than 40% in the polyamide in electronic protection device market in the year 2020. The highest demand from the Asia-Pacific region is due to the availability of cheap raw materials such as nylons, aramids, sodium polyaspartate, and wool. The presence of emerging countries like India, China and South Korea also drive the market growth in APAC region. Furthermore, the growing demand for environment friendly vehicles, developing aviation sector, and growing investment in the infrastructure sector across the region also propels the market growth.

Polyamide In Electronic Protection Device Market Drivers

Surging Demand from electrical and electronics industry

The increase in adoption of polyamide in electronic protection devices owing to various reasons such as cost-effectiveness and environmental friendliness of polyamide is driving polyamide in electronic protection device market. This is one of the main reasons why other thermoset materials such as acrylates, phenolic, epoxies and cyanate esters are being replaced by polyamide in the electronics protection device industry. The raw material used in producing polyamide like caprolactam is cheaper than the other thermoset materials. This is hugely driving polyamide in electronic protection device market. Whereas, the growth in the electronics and IT industrties is also contributing to the market growth. For instance, according to the JAPAN ELECTRONICS AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY INDUSTRIES ASSOCIATION (JEITA) report 2020, the total global production by the electronics and IT industries is expected to increase by a mere 2% year on year in 2020 to reach $2,972.7 billion.

Technological advancements in electronic protection devices

The evolution of technology in the past few years has contributed to the growth of electronic protection devices. There has been a significant change in the control, testing and commissioning methods, which fuels the growth of electronic protection devices industry. This further gives raise to the need of polyamide in electronic protection devices market, due to their insulation properties and low flammability. For instance, the Voltage Test Station (VTS) from Grace Engineered Products is a permanent electrical safety device that helps quickly and safely validate zero electrical energy from outside the electrical cabinet. This helps in detecting presence or absence of voltage, malfunctions of the disconnect switch and unintended release of stored electrical energy.

Polyamide in Electronic Protection Device Market Challenges

Availability of other substitutes for polyamide

The availability of substitutes such as polystyrene, polyester, and polybutyleneis are acts as a major challenge to the growth of polyamide in electronic protection device market. These substitutes are relatively cheaper and is easier to handle than polyamide that makes them a better substitute thereby acting as one of the biggest challenge to the polyamide in electronic protection device industry. Polystyrene can be made into various other applications by adding other additives, colorants, foam, other plastics etc. Polystyrene can also be extracted from natural products such as coffee, cinnamon etc. This makes polystyrene a preferred kind of plastic.

Market Landscape

New product launches, acquisitions and mergers, collaborations, expansion and investments are some of the key strategies adopted by players in the Polyamide In Electronic Protection Device Market.
