Growing penetration of reinforced 3D printing high performance plastics in functional part manufacturing

 

The demand for reinforced 3D printing high performance plastics is increasing for functional part manufacturing. These grades offer optimum performance in extreme conditions such as corrosive and high temperature/pressure environments. Carbon fibers and glass fibers are added to PEEK, PEKK, and polyamide to enhance their performance. Novamid ID1030 CF10, offered by Royal DSM, is a 3D printing grade high-quality polyamide that is 10% carbon-reinforced. Novamid finds a variety of applications ranging from automotive to packaging. Another manufacturer from the US, Stratasys, Ltd., provides FDM Nylon 12 CF, which is polyamide (PA)12 thermoplastic filament reinforced with chopped carbon fiber 35% by weight. The material has the highest flexural strength of any thermoplastic, leading to the highest stiffness-to-weight ratio. The combination of lightweight and high strength and stiffness makes it an ideal replacement for heavier metal components in applications such as functional prototypes and selective end-use parts.

The global 3D printing high performance plastic market is expected to grow from USD 72 million in 2020 to USD 202 million by 2025, at a CAGR of 22.9% during the forecast period. Increasing demand from high end-use industries, growing novel application in tooling and proptotying, and government supportive activities to promote the usage of 3D printing materials is driving the growth of the market.

North America to continue the similar growing trend in the market

North America held the largest share in 3D printing high performance plastic market and is projected to continue the similar trend over the projected period. Manufacturers of 3D printing materials in North America are putting efforts by undertaking new product launch, collaboration, and other strategies. For instance, in September 2018, Stratasys Ltd. signed a multi-year technical partnership with Team Penske (US). Team Penske will be using advanced materials, such as Carbon Fiber-filled Nylon 12, in additive manufacturing for advanced car testing, production parts, and prototypes. The partnership is aimed at innovating new materials in 3D printing to increase output and improve vehicle performance.

Arkema S.A. (France), Royal DSM N.V. (the Netherlands), Stratasys, Ltd. (US), Evonik Industries AG (Germany), 3D Systems Corporation (US), EOS GmbH Electro Optical Systems (Germany), Victrex plc. (UK), Solvay (Belgium), Oxford Performance Materials (US) , and SABIC (Saudi Arabia) are some of the key players in the 3D printing high performance plastic market.. These players have taken different organic and inorganic developmental strategies over the past five years.

Replacement of metals with plastics in automotive applications is driving the Black Masterbatches Market

The black masterbatches market size is estimated to be USD 2.4 billion in 2021 and is projected reach USD 3.0 billion by 2026, at a CAGR of 4.4 % between 2021 and 2026. . This growth is mainly supported by the increasing need for innovative and attractive plastic products from the packaging industry. Most of the polymer manufacturers have switched the processing method of plastics from compounding to masterbatch. This process is cost-effective and saves processing time as compared to compounded materials. American and European black masterbatch manufacturers are focusing on expanding their manufacturing facilities in emerging economies owing to cost-effective labor, low setup cost, tax benefits, and high demand for black masterbatch.

Plastics provide superior mechanical, physical, thermal, and electrical properties than metals. Engineering plastics are widely used in various automotive components such as steering wheels, airbags, seatbelts, bumpers, and dashboards. Continuous innovation and demand for lightweight materials in the automotive industry are encouraging the replacement of metals with plastics. It is estimated that for every 10% reduction in the weight of vehicles, fuel efficiency can be increased by 7–8%. In addition, plastics offer better design, safety, and environmental sustainability than metals. Automotive and airplane manufacturers utilize lightweight plastics such as PP and PC for windows, hoods, and interior applications.

Plastics used in the manufacture of automotive components are PBT, PET, PVC, ABS, PA, PS, PC, and PE. Implementation of stringent regulations on vehicular emissions in developed nations has led to automobile manufacturers working on weight reduction of vehicles. As plastic is used for weight reduction in vehicles, the demand for plastics in the automotive industry is increasing rapidly. Black masterbatch is used in exterior applications such as vehicle bodies, bumper, headlamp lenses, body side protection strips, window sealing profiles, and tires in the automotive industry.

The APAC comprises major emerging nations such as China and India. Hence, the scope for the development of most industries is high in this region. The black masterbatches market is growing significantly and offers opportunities for various manufacturers. The APAC region constitutes approximately 61.0% of the world’s population, and the manufacturing and processing sectors are growing rapidly in the region. The APAC is the largest black masterbatches market with China being the major market which is expected to grow significantly. The rising disposable incomes and rising standards of living in emerging economies in the APAC are the major drivers for this market.

Key players in this market are LyondellBasell (US), Avient Corporation (US), Ampacet Corporation (US), Cabot Corporation (US), Plastika Kritis S.A. (Greece), Plastiblends India Ltd. (India), Hubron International (UK), Tosaf Group (Israel), and Penn Color, Inc. (US). The global and regional players have sizable shares in the black masterbatch market. The key players in the market are focusing on strategies, such as new product launches, partnerships & agreements, acquisitions, and expansions, to expand their businesses globally.
