Project Background

PEEK material is a kind of high-performance special engineering plastics, with excellent heat resistance, wear resistance, fatigue resistance, radiation resistance, peeling resistance, creep resistance and other excellent physical and chemical properties, widely used in aerospace, electrical and electronic, medical and other industrial fields. The excellent comprehensive performance of PEEK materials meets the lightweight needs of the transportation industry, and also meets the development trend of integration and miniaturization of electronic components.

China is the world's largest auto market. Auto production and sales reached a phased peak in 2017, and then entered a downward cycle due to economic influence. Car production and sales fell 2.0 percent and 1.8 percent year-on-year in 2020 as a result of the outbreak. However, with the development of domestic new energy vehicles, 5G communication technology and "two new and one heavy" industries, the demand for high-performance materials such as PEEK will be further increased.

Shangpu Consulting Company is a professional market research and strategic consulting service organization, with many years of industry experience and professional team. Shangpu Consulting Company received a commission from a well-known domestic PEEK material manufacturer, requesting an in-depth analysis of the application and market prospects of PEEK materials in China's automotive industry, and formulating a reasonable market strategy and development plan for it.

Customer pain points

As the leader of domestic PEEK material production enterprises, customers are faced with the following problems:

-The application of PEEK materials in China's automotive industry is still in its infancy, the market penetration rate is low, and customers' awareness and acceptance of PEEK materials are not high, resulting in difficult sales;

-The application of PEEK materials in China's automotive industry is mainly concentrated in the traditional automotive field, such as engines, gearboxes, brake systems and other components, while the application in the field of new energy vehicles is still relatively small, failing to make full use of the advantages of PEEK materials in electrical insulation, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance and other aspects;

-The application of PEEK materials in China's automotive industry is also facing competitive pressure from foreign brands and domestic low-end brands. Foreign brands have advantages in technology and quality, while domestic low-end brands have advantages in price;
