Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) is a kind of thermoplastic polymer with some exceptional mechanical properties. It is also identified as high-modulus polyethylene (HMPE) or high-performance (HPPE) and has a high molecular weight varying between 3.5 million to 7.5 million atomic mass units. This thermoplastic is non-toxic and resistant to moisture, chemicals, abrasion, dirt, and corrosion. Apart from this, it is light in weight with superior impact strength, improved sound absorption properties, and a low-value coefficient of friction. UHMWPE is used for manufacturing various components in defense, marine, aerospace, and automobile. Moreover, UHMWPE is also utilized in the food processing and medical industry, as it has USDA and FDA approval.
Market Dynamics
A major factor driving its market growth is that there is an increasing demand for UHMWPE in the defense, military, and aerospace industries. Another key factor driving its market growth is a rise in demand for orthopedic implants that cater to the increasing number of knee and hip replacement surgeries and for making prosthetics for the rising geriatric population in North America and Europe and non-absorbable sutures. Besides, UHMWPE is also being used in a variety of other applications, including fibers, batteries, membranes, filtration, and additives. However, the presence of alternative materials like fluoropolymers, polyoxymethylene, polycarbonate, urethane, and fluctuating raw material prices are factors hampering UHMWPE growth.
