The report on “heat resistant resins” considers its four commonly used applications: adhesives, coatings, castings, and laminates. The global heat resistant resins industry is witnessing high growth because of increasing end-use industry which includes aerospace, electrical & electronics, industrial and medical, technological advancements, and growing demand in the Asia-Pacific region. The top global market players are responding to this increase in demand by expanding their product lines and rigorous R&D. The demand for heat resistant resins is expected to grow in the next five years, due to increasing applications in the various end-use industries.

Coating is one of the largest applications of heat resistant resins across the world. Growing end-user industries in emerging nations such as China, and India is one of the drivers for heat resistant resins market. The liberalization of foreign trade and investments and change in industrial policies allowing private enterprises has triggered rapid industrialization in China over the past three decades. The massive industrial growth in Asia-Pacific has been fueling growth of the heat resistant resins market from the past few years and this trend is expected to continue over the next five years.

Heat resistant resins such, as fluoropolymers, polyphenylene sulphide, polyimides, and polysulfones are expected to show high demand in their respective applications. Polyimide was one of the majorly consumed heat resistant resins in 2013. The prime driver for heat resistant resins consumption comes from the increasing demand in developing countries coupled with growing manufacturer’s preference for heat resistant resins products in high end applications. The semiconductor industry has a wide scope for its expansion, which in turn would help in increasing the consumption for heat resistant resins in the forecasted period.
