High Performance Thermoplastic Composites Market Report
High-Performance Thermoplastic Composites Market Size, Share, Trend, Forecast, and Competitive Analysis: 2019-2024
High-performance thermoplastic (HPTPs) is a group of those thermoplastics that offer excellent temperature resistance along with exceptional mechanical performance. The definition of high-performance thermoplastics varies from company to company, however, all of them have pretty similar definitions with inclusion or exclusion of one or two thermoplastics in their list. High-performance thermoplastics are used with or without fibers/reinforcements such as glass fibers, carbon fibers, and mineral fibers. Today, most of the industries are generating greater demand for high-performance thermoplastics filled with fibers in order to address the varied requirements including strength.
These thermoplastic composites are extremely suitable for those applications which require excellent heat-resistance in order to sustain in harsh operating environments. In comparison to standard and engineering thermoplastics, high-performance thermoplastics deliver excellent temperature stability, excellent chemical resistance, and higher mechanical properties. When reinforced with fibers/fillers, the properties of these materials get further enhanced to meet the diverse requirements of a wide array of industries.
HPTP composites have already earned a largely unheralded but a significant place in the family of thermoplastic composites. The market for high-performance thermoplastic composites is extrapolated to grow at a higher pace (5.7% vs 4.1% CAGR, 2019-2024) than the other thermoplastic composites (standard thermoplastic composites and engineering thermoplastic composites), and is catching the attention of the market players.
Several factors bolstering the growth of HPTP composites are:
Major players are performing strategic alliances including M&As in order to quickly align themselves in this briskly growing market, leading to an increased market consolidation. For instance; Solvay S.A., a leading global supplier of advanced materials for a wide array of end-use industries, acquired Cytec Industries Inc. at a total purchase price of approximately US$ 5.5 Billion. After the acquisition, Solvay S.A. has become one of the major players in the high-performance thermoplastic composites market. Similarly, in 2018, Toray, the world’s largest carbon fiber manufacturer, acquired TenCate Advanced Composites Holding B.V. (TCAC), a fully owned subsidiary of Koninklijke Ten Cate B.V. at an agreed purchase price of 930 million Euro. TCAC is one of the leading suppliers of carbon fiber-reinforced thermoplastic tapes and high-heat-resistant thermoset prepregs to the aerospace industry.

HPTP composites are used in a large number of industries including automotive, electrical & electronics, industrial, aerospace & defense, medical, consumer goods, etc. The mix of different HPTP composites varies from industry to industry, which is based on the requirements of strength/performance, cost of thermoplastic composites, the ability to manufacture in desired cycle time, etc.
At present, automotive is the biggest consumer of HPTP composites and is anticipated to maintain its leading position in the market in years to come. The factors which make the automotive industry dominant are:
Aerospace & defense, a relatively small market as compared to the automotive, is likely to be exhibit its dominance in the market in years to come. Several factors driving the demand for HPTP composites are increasing commercial aircraft production to support rising air passenger traffic, the development of next-generation aircraft with greater thermoplastics content, and increased focus towards thermoplastic composites over thermoset composites.
The report deeply studies the different HPTPs and their usage in different end-use industries. Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), aromatic ketones (PAEK family), polyarylsulfone (PASU family), polyetherimide (PEI), and high-performance polyamide (HPPA) are the major HPTPs considered in the report. Polyimide (PI) and liquid crystal polymer (LCP) occupy the lion’s share in the others’ category. HPPA holds the leading position today and will remain the most dominant resin type among all HPTPs in years to come. HPPA offer various advantages such as lower cost, higher voltage, and retention of dielectric properties at elevated temperatures, which make it the preferred choice for a wide range of applications such as automotive engine coolant pumps, impellers, and valves, especially where engineering thermoplastic nylons prove to be unsuitable.
In terms of regions, Asia-Pacific is likely to remain the largest demand generator of high-performance thermoplastics in the foreseen future. Furthermore, the growth in the demand for high-performance thermoplastic composites in the region would remain attractive in the coming years. Large population base coupled with increasing disposable income and rapid urbanization is creating a huge demand for high-performance thermoplastics filled with fibers. China is estimated to remain the largest demand generator not only in the region, but also in the world. High automobile production, an incessant manufacturing shift from the developed economies to China, especially in E&E and consumer goods industry, and ongoing efforts for the development of aircraft indigenously are the key factors driving the demand for these thermoplastic composites in the country.

India, Japan, and South Korea are the other countries generating sizeable demand in the region. All the major players are eyeing the Indian market, mulling to invest in the country to tap the future growth potential. Reforming government policies coupled with several initiatives including Make in India with an aim to boost the manufacturing sector is alluring the market players to increasingly participate in the market. Huge customer base, low-cost manufacturing, ease in availability of necessary inputs, and growing disposable income assure a robust indigenous demand for high-performance thermoplastic composites in the country.
North America and Europe are the next two big markets for the thermoplastic composites. These regions have been the pioneer for most of the industries; however, maturing GDP growth coupled with an incessant shift of manufacturing facilities towards Asia is causing a low growth in the demand for thermoplastics including high-performance thermoplastic composites in these regions. The USA is the largest market for high-performance thermoplastic composites in North America, whereas Germany, France, the UK, and Russia are the major markets in Europe.
