DRIVING FACTORS

"Growing Demand for These Filaments in Automotive, and, Electronics Industry to Amplify Market Growth"

Certain industries such as automotive, aerospace, and electronics are considered to be high-performance sectors, and they require materials that exhibit strength and resistance. These filaments are preferred as they have exceptional dimensional stability. These filaments are thermoplastics that are extensively used in 3-dimensional printing.  

3D printing is gaining popularity, in most of the sectors. Hence the demand for PPS filaments has also registered a considerable growth. Aerospace vehicles, and equipment require materials that are lightweight yet strong. These filaments are considered to the ideal choice for manufacturing aerospace equipment. All of these factors are increasing the growth of the market.

"Incorporation of PPS Composites in Medical Instruments to Develop Market Growth"

Apart from being used in industries such as electronics, aerospace, and automotive, PPS composites form a very major part of the healthcare industry. They are used in the manufacturing of surgical equipment, implants, and healthcare devices.  Post pandemic the number of surgeries happening have increased, rising the demand for medical equipment. As PPS composites are used in manufacturing medical devices their sales have increased.

While constructing buildings, and infrastructures materials that have better stability and corrosion resistance are preferred. PPS filaments are suitable to be used in construction industry. Other than these high-performance sectors, PPS filaments are also adopted for prototyping and end-use industries. All of the above-mentioned factors have contributed in increasing PPS filament market share.

RESTRAINING FACTOR

"High Cost of PPS Composites Compared to Thermoplastics to Decrease Market Growth"

Thermoplastics are considered to be a better alternative for these filaments in terms of cost. Thermoplastics are cheaper compared to these filaments. When it comes to price sensitive applications this factor can have a negative effect on the market. Many manufacturers will prefer using other thermoplastics to reduce the overall cost of production. Another factor that can hinder the market development, is the high printing temperatures required for production.

Without this temperature it might be difficult to achieve good adhesion to the printing bed. Another alternative material that is in high demand in the market as an alternative to these filaments is a material called PPEK. This substance has similar properties and can be afforded at a lower price. All of these factors can have a negative impact on the market.
