Report Scope and Market Segmentation

Market Definition

Polyimide fibres (PI) are a type of heat-resistant, relatively strong synthetic fibre that is orange to yellow in colour. Polyimide fibres are synthesised in two steps from aromatic diamines and aromatic tetracarboxylic dianhydrides. Polyimide fibres are frequently the best choice for high-stress applications that require corrosion, extreme temperature, wear, and creep resistance. The continuous use of polyimide fibres at very high temperatures up to 260°C and short-term exposure at 550°C maintains excellent operating capabilities.

Polyimide Fibers Market Dynamics

This section deals with understanding the market drivers, advantages, opportunities, restraints and challenges. All of this is discussed in detail as below:

Drivers

• High Usage of polyimide fibers in textile industry

Polyimide fibres are widely used in the textile industry due to the superior protection they provide to clothing. Polyimide fibres are flame retardants and used in the textile industry as a fiber for heat protective clothing. Polyimide fibres are widely used in producing protective clothing, such as firefighter suits and jackets, army uniforms, and industrial protective gear. In the coming years, the global polyimide fibres market is expected to be fueled by an increase in demand for flame retardant clothing in various end-use sectors.

• Increased requirements from aerospace industry

Due to their excellent heat resistance, polyimide fibres are used for multilayer insulations in astronaut space suits and space shuttles. This is expected to increase demand for these fibres over the forecast period.

Opportunities

Polyimide fibres are increasingly being used in a variety of end-use industries. Polyimide fibres are commonly used in products such as filter bags to separate flue gases in municipal solid waste incinerators. However, due to properties such as flame retardancy and chemical resistance, demand for these materials has recently increased in applications such as protective clothing such as outer shells of suits and jackets for firefighters, the army, and other industries.

Restraints/Challenges

• High Initial and Overall Costs

The global polyimide fibres market is likely to be hampered by the complex manufacturing process and high cost of polyimide fibres.

• Unfavorable Conditions Arising Due To COVID-19

The unfavorable conditions caused due to COVID-19 outbreak will prove to be a demerit for the polyimide fibers market. COVID-19 led to the halt of various manufacturing operations and also caused disruption in the supply chain. Therefore, this factor will challenge the polyimide fibers market growth rate.
