"Films is projected to be the fourth largest segment by form in terms of value."
The growth of UHMWPE films is rising due to advancements in processing technique which helps to improve their structural and mechanical strengths. Few research has demonstrated that newly developed films enhance the tensile strength and elongation at break of UHMWPE films, making them suitable for more demanding applications. During the production of UHMW PE films, molecules of UHMW PE are aligned in the biaxial direction. It can be extruded or skived from the UHMW PE block. High pressures and temperatures are required to form a solid block, which is mechanically skived to manufacture UHMW PE films. They are used as sliding materials in household electrical appliances and automated machines, copy machines, and lining of hoppers & chutes.
"Aerospace, defense, shipments accounted for the third largest share in the end-use industry segment of UHMW PE market in terms of value."
UHMW PE is widely used in various aerospace, defense & shipping applications. Features such as low weight, thermal insulation, noise reduction, fatigue resistance, wear resistance, fuel resistance, de-icing, fluid resistance, electrostatic dissipation, low friction, and chemical resistance make UHMW PE a suitable option for use in these industries. UHMW PE is used in various application of an aircraft such as in its interiors, seating and cargo liners as they are durable and light weight in nature. The defense industry utilizes UHMW PE in body armor, helmets, and vehicle armor as they possess high impact strength. In shipping industry UHMW PE is utilized in application like mooring lines, nets and fenders.
"Batteries has the third largest share in the application segment of UHMW PE market in terms of value."
UHMW PE is used in lead-acid and lithium-ion battery separators for automobiles and forklifts. UHMW PE is an ideal choice for batteries as they have unique properties such as high strength, chemical resistance and excellent thermal stability. UHMWPE is utilized to create microporous membranes that serve as separators in these batteries, effectively enhancing ion conductivity and cycle performance. The demand for batteries.
"Middle East & Africa is the fourth-largest market for UHMW PE."
Middle East & Africa holds the fourth-largest market share globally in the UHMW PE market due to several key factors. Firstly, the region benefits from a well-established infrastructure, advanced research and development capabilities, and stringent regulatory standards, fostering innovation and quality in UHMW PE products. This region has easy access to raw materials, which is a crucial factor in the production of UHMW PE. This has contributed to the region's strong market position.
