Thermally Conductive Polymers Market - Size, Share, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2019-2027

Thermally Conductive Polymers Market - Size, Share,
Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2019-2027
The global thermally conductive polymers market is projected to reach US$ 430.7 million by
2027 witnessing a CAGR of 13.1% over the forecast period. This growth is attributed to
growing end-use industries such as electrical & electronics, automotive, aerospace & defense,
and medical industries. Moreover, increasing demand for compact, smart, inexpensive, and
high performance products is expected to drive growth of the electronics industry, which in
turn is expected to propel demand for thermally conductive polymers over the forecast
period.

On the basis of product type, thermally conductive polymers can be classified into
polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), polyamide (PA),
polycarbonate (PC), polyethylenimine (PEI), polysulfone (PSU), polyether ether ketone
(PEEK), polyolefin, epoxy, silicone, polyurethane, and others. Other products consist of
thermoplastic elastomers and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS).
The polyamide segment is expected to witness a faster growth rate during the forecast period.
This is attributed to good flow properties of PA, which enables it to be easily molded into
complicated shapes with high surface to volume ratios. For instance, Osram — a major
lighting company — uses Stanyl TC (thermally conductive polyamide 46 of Royal DSM) in
heat sinks of large LED down lights. The material is used as an alternative for aluminum due
to its molding properties, which enables it to be shaped into complicated geometries that help
in removing heat from LED light source.
Lower thermal conductivity and higher filler loading of polymers compared to metals is
projected to hamper the market growth. However, technological advancements in the industry
are expected to boost demand for thermally conductive polymers over the forecast period. For
instance, according to a study, ‘Hybrid conductive filler/polycarbonate composites with
enhanced electrical and thermal conductivities for bipolar plate applications’, published by
Polymer Composites Journal in 2018, a triple-filler system of carbon nanotube, carbon fiber,
and graphite was developed and analyzed for its thermal properties. The results showed that
this hybrid filler exhibits good thermal as well as electrical conductivity. Favorable growth of
end-use industries across the globe creates a high growth opportunity for manufacturers in the
thermally conductive polymers market.
For instance, according to the Automobile Industry Pocket Guide 2017 / 2018 published by
European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association, the global motor vehicle production
reached 96.1 million units in 2016 from 91.6 million units in 2015.
The global thermally conductive polymers market was valued at US$ 141.8 million in 2018,
and is expected to register a CAGR of 13.1% in terms of revenue over the forecast period
(2019 – 2027).
North America is the fastest growing market and accounted for the largest market share of
around 43.8 % in 2018. This is owing to significant growth of various end-use industries such
as electrical & electronics, automotive, and aerospace & defense in the region. For instance,
according to Aerospace Industries Association, the U.S. aerospace & defense industry
generated US$ 872 billion in sales in 2016, which increased from US$ 604.7 billion in 2015.
Furthermore, key players in the market are focused on developing advanced technologies and
superior-grade materials to enhance their market share. For instance, the paper – ‘Highly
thermally conductive yet electrically insulating polymer/boron nitride nanosheets
nanocomposite films for improved thermal management capability’— published by
American Chemical Society in December 2018 — reported an advanced nanocomposite
polymer, which contains boron nitride nanosheets as a filler material. According to the
research, the polymer exhibits high thermal conductivity along with excellent electrical
insulation. The research results also stated that this nano polymer composite can be easily
incorporated in transistors to uniformly dissipate the heat.
Among filler type, carbon-based fillers segment held significant market share of 34.0% in the
global thermally conductive polymers market in 2018. The segment growth is driven by
beneficial properties of carbon-based fillers such as abundant availability, low cost, and easy
functionalization.
Key players operating in the global thermally conductive polymers market are adopting
various growth strategies such as mergers & acquisitions and business expansion to enhance
their market share. For instance, in October 2016, Celanese Corporation acquired SO.F.TER
Group (manufacturer of engineering thermoplastics and thermoplastic elastomers). The
acquisition is expected to help Celanese Corporation to enhance its product portfolio and
expand its global presence.
Major players operating in the global thermally conductive polymers market include, RTP
Company, PolyOne Corporation, Celanese Corporation, SABIC, Covestro AG, Royal DSM,
Mitsubishi Engineering-Plastics Corporation, HELLA GmbH & Co., and Torray Industries,
Inc.
