Bio-based Polyamide Market Dynamics and Trends
A major driver is the unique low friction of bio-polyamides, which is favorable for many automotive products such as bushings, gears, and plastic bearings. Excellent mechanical and thermal performance, low moisture absorption, strong chemical resistance properties offered by bio-based polyamide is created huge market demand for the product in various end-user
A major driver is the unique low friction of bio-polyamides, which is favorable for many automotive products such as bushings, gears, and plastic bearings.
Polymeric materials now account for around 20% of the overall weight of an automobile, or 100 to 150 kg per vehicle. The significant demand for plastics and recent economic and ecological issues such as rising crude oil prices accelerated the depletion of fossil resources. New regulations for greenhouse gas emissions and vehicle end-of-life management have combined to accelerate the demand for plastics. The automotive industry prompted inventing, adapting, or revitalizing several long-forgotten, more environmentally friendly plastic materials and biocomposites for current automobiles. Some of these bio-based polymeric materials have previously been proven for use in automotive applications, such as bio-based polyamides and bio-based polyurethane foams, as well as polylactic acid formulations and fabrics.
Several novel bio-based polyamides have recently hit the market, generated (at least in part) from renewable feedstocks such as castor beans and sugar cane. The new automotive radiator end tank suggested by Toyota, Denso, and DuPont Automotive consortium, and utilized in some 2009 Toyota Camrys vehicles, is a recent example of an under-the-hood deployment of a bio polyamide the DuPontTM Zytel RS, PA 6.10 (with 62.5 percent biobased carbon content).
Excellent mechanical and thermal performance, low moisture absorption, strong chemical resistance properties offered by bio-based polyamide is created huge bio-based polyamide market demand for the product in various end-user
High tensile strength, flexibility, toughness, resilience, and abrasion resistance are among the mechanical features of bio polyamides. They have reduced moisture absorption (1%), stronger impact strength, and better chemical resistance than their classic equivalents PA6 and PA6/6. They also have a lower modulus, a greater melting point, and a substantially higher elongation at break. The mentioned properties of biobased polyamides trigger the demand for the product in various applications such as automotive fuel lines, pneumatic air brake tubing, electrical wire jacketing, flexible oil and gas pipes, powder coatings, etc.
For instance, Technoform is offering bio-based polyamide offering high levels of heat resistance, stiffness and high mechanical stability for a durable solution. Furthermore, the product offers excellent heat resistance that can be used in the toughest of conditions, for example, exposure to hot and humid environments. In the windows, doors, and facades industry, the high-temperature resistance of PA reduces the rate of conductivity (U-value), insulating the energy flow from the outside of a window, door or facade to the inside.
Strict government regulations towards adopting an environment-friendly approach in all the industries are expected to uplift the growing momentum of bio-based polyamide in the forecast period.
Over the forecast period, increased awareness about the environmental devastation caused by the extraction of petroleum derivatives and legislation pertaining to the usage of renewable products in Europe and North America are projected to boost the bio-polyamide market. Petrochemicals are used to make synthetic surfactants. The bio-polyamide market is expected to be driven by rigorous laws enacted in response to environmental concerns about the toxicity of synthetic surfactants throughout the forecast period.
For example, in the United States, corporate average fuel economy (CAFE) regulations and the European Union's CO2 limitations would place tremendous pressure on automakers to lower vehicle weight to cut emissions. In 2020, the CO2 limit was 95g CO2/km, down from 130g CO2/km in 2013. Furthermore, one of the primary driving drivers of the worldwide bio-polyamide market is expanding the electrical and electronics industry.
COVID-19 Impact on Bio-based Polyamide Market
The global bio-based polyamide (PA) market has shown a significant decline due to the COVID-19 pandemic, as many manufacturing facilities were shut down for months during the 2019-2020 period. Further several countries have restricted production activities in different industries during the covid-19 pandemic. Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the major lockdown leads to the sudden shutdown of various automotive industries across the globe, leading to a drop in the demand for bio-based polyamide (PA)s during the 2019-2020 period. Furthermore, a halt in transportation sectors has severely hampered the bio-based polyamide (PA) market business due to disruption in the product's supply chain management.
