The global Ultra-high Molecular Weight Polyethylene Fibers market size is expected to be worth around US$ 1.41 billion by 2027, according to a new report by Vision Research Reports.
The global Ultra-high Molecular Weight Polyethylene Fibers market size was valued at US$ 761.11 million in 2019 and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 8.6% during forecast period 2020 to 2027.
Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fibers are gaining increasing acceptance in the military and defense application owing to their several superior properties, such as high chemical resistance excellent impact, and abrasion resistance, highest strength-to-weight ratio, excellent flexibility and comfort, wear resistance, and protection against handgun threats. UHMWPE fibers are widely used in protective armor applications, such as ballistic helmets, frag knits, bulletproof vests, ballistic shields, ballistic plate inserts, and explosion-resistant blanket.
Growth Factors
Rising demand from various applications, such as protective armor, medical devices, nets, wear and gear, ropes, and
is a key factor driving the market. Growing geriatric population, majorly in North America and Europe, is presumed to play a critical role in shaping the demand for ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fibers in the medical devices application segment over the forecast period.
Lightweight and excellent strength as compared to polyester, ease of handling, and longer service life are the major attributes driving the demand for ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fibers in air cargo nets. UHMWPE fibers help reduce the total weight of air cargo, thereby lowering fuel cost and CO2 emissions.
due to increasing positive coronavirus cases is positively influencing the growth of air cargo, thereby creating opportunities for air cargo nets. However, stalled manufacturing operations and decreasing discretionary spending by consumers are impacting the growth of industrial air cargo, which, in turn, is hampering the demand for air cargo nets.
According to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), China accounted for approximately 14% share in the global military spending in 2019 and ranked second after U.S. Thus, high spending on the military and defense sector is fueling the demand for protective armor, which, in turn, is anticipated to create significant opportunities for the manufacturers of UHMWPE fibers.
Report Highlights
In terms of revenue, Asia Pacific dominated the overall market and is projected to witness the fastest growth over the forecast period
By application, the protective armor segment emerged as the largest application segment in 2019 and is anticipated to maintain its lead throughout the forecast period
Industrial grade UHMWPE fibers are witnessing high demand among various applications, such as protective armor, wear and gear, nets, ropes, medical devices, and sports equipment
