Polyphenylene Ether Alloy Market size achieved USD 1.62 billion in 2023 and will grow at 5.7% CAGR from 2024 to 2032. The increasing demand for PPE/PS is expected to fuel the overall industry growth in the coming years.
Polyphenylene ethers are a special class of material, which consists of phenolic monomers through an ether linkage and can be utilized to produce a variety of homopolymers and copolymers. These materials have unique characteristics including outstanding thermal stability in elevated temperature, minimum water absorption, and effective mechanical & dielectric properties over a broad range of frequencies. Vehicle manufacturers are focusing on vehicle weight reduction to increase mileage owing to which lightweight materials are used in vehicles. Due to the low density of PPE alloys, they are lightweight.
Furthermore, their properties, such as high heat resistance, low mold shrinkage, dimensional & hydraulic stability, and high impact strength, make them the preferred material in the automotive industry.
