[164 Slides Report] Polyoxymethylene is an engineering thermoplastic that is derived from formaldehyde. The properties of these products include high dimensional stability, good strength, and high fatigue and impact resistance. These properties make POM a highly preferred material in light weight metal replacing applications in various end-user segments of the polyoxymethylene market. For its capability of replacing metal in light weight applications, POM has penetrated various segments such as transportation and industrial.

In the past five years, the demand for polyoxymethylene has grown at a rapid pace due to its present applications and scope of development of applications in different sectors. The presence of new developing economies has ensured growth in demand for polyoxymethylene in the next five years. China shared about 31.5% of the global POM demand in 2012. The Asia-Pacific region is the leader in consumption and revenue generation, followed by Western Europe, in the POM market.

This study aims at estimating the market of polyoxymethylene for 2013 and to project the expected demand of the same by 2018. This market research study provides detailed qualitative and quantitative analysis of the polyoxymethylene market. It provides a comprehensive review of major market drivers, restraints, opportunities, winning imperatives, challenges, and key issues in the market. The market is further segmented and forecasted for major regions of North America, Western Europe, the Asia-Pacific, and Rest of the World (ROW).

Polyoxymethylene (POM) is a high performance engineering plastic which is used in many end-user applications due its various desirable properties, which also make POM an effective metal replacing plastic. Major consumption of  the products in the polyoxymethylene market is recorded in electrical & electronics industry, where it is used to make capacitors, insulators, and various other electronic components. The POM application in the transportation industry is expected to witness growth at a healthy pace. Non-crude oil derivate based raw materials and new applications in the food packaging sector would serve as the opportunities for the material.

The market is driven by replacing metals in various applications where extreme strength or impact resistance is not required and the use of POM matches the application’s requirements. R&D efforts by major players in the market could improve the growth by developing newer applications and new products to fulfill the demand from various end use markets. The increasing demand in different developing regions promises the growth of polyoxymethylene in the long-term.

The POM market valued to be $2.2 billion in 2012, which is estimated to reach about $3.3 billion in 2018, is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.8% from 2013 to 2018. The Asia-Pacific region led the polyoxymethylene market. It contributed nearly 45.6% of the total revenue in 2012. China was the leader in polyoxymethylene consumption, followed by the U.S., and together, these countries consumed 47.4% of the consumption. The Indian POM consumption for the end user applications is expected to grow at 7.6% from 2013 to 2018.
