COVID 19 Impact on Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene Market - Growth, Trends, by 2024
Global Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) Market: Information by Form (Sheets, Rods & Tubes, and Others), End-Use Industry (Healthcare, Military & Defense, Automotive, Electronics, Chemicals, Food & Beverage, Sports & Leisure, and Others), and Region (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa)—Forecast till 2024Global Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) Market was valued at USD 1.8 billion in 2018 and is projected to register a CAGR of over 9.5% to reach USD 3.4 billion by 2024.
Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) has the highest molecular density with a molecular weight between 5 to 9 million. It is a subset of the thermoplastic polyethylene. It has excellent mechanical properties such as high abrasion resistance, high impact strength, and low coefficient of friction. Apart from this, it also is lightweight, self-lubricating, chemical resistance, and sound dampening properties.
The growth of the global COVID 19 Impact on Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene Market is primarily driven by the significant demand for orthopedics implants in Europe and North America. Increase in the number of joint replacement surgeries for knees and hips coupled with an increase in geriatric population is projected to fuel the demand for UHMW-PE in making of prosthetics. It is used for non-absorbable sutures as it is strong and durable. Moreover, the sutures made using UHMW-PE are flatter than the conventionally used polyester and poly-blend sutures. The demand for UHMW-PE in the military & defense industry is increasing due to its use in personal protective equipment and anti-ballistic applications. It is commonly used in bulletproof vests, impact plate, and helmet production. The need for homeland security and counter-terrorism activities across the globe is expected to have a positive impact on the market during the forecast period. It is also being used in automotive applications such as to assist straps, seat belt parts, shock spacers for trucks, glass run channel, among others due to its self-lubricating properties. Additionally, it is an ideal choice of material for use in electronic and electrical applications and components subjected to high wear and stress, requiring high friction, and abrasion resistance.
