Polyether Ether Ketone (PEEK) is one of the renowned high performance polymers extensively incorporated across several industries such as automotive, aerospace, oil and gas, and healthcare, among others. With its incomparable mechanical properties and resistance to chemicals, fatigue, and creep, among others, PEEK has been significantly aiding in dealing with difficulties pertaining to weight reduction, system downsizing, and performance, among others. Apart from weight reduction and enhanced performance, the incorporation of PEEK also helps in design optimization and system cost reduction. One of the pivotal advantages of PEEK includes dimensional stability and shape memory at high operating temperatures. Owing to its biocompatible properties and stiffness in congruence with bone structure, PEEK is the best suitable material for fabrication and development of medical implants. The successful incorporation of PEEK material for the development of medical implants, has significantly enhanced the scope of PEEK material for non-implant medical applications. Acknowledging the massive potential of PEEK material for non-implant medical applications, several companies such as Victrex plc, Evonik Industries AG, and Solvay S.A., among others, have made significant investments to unleash the potential of the market. The North America PEEK material market is the second largest in terms of revenue and consumption of PEEK. The North America PEEK material market has been witnessing a stable and promising compound annual growth rate of approximately 2.00% since the past three years (2014-2017).
Regardless of its exorbitant cost, PEEK has gained momentous acceptance across several industries such as automobile, aerospace, consumer electronics, oil and gas, manufacturing, and healthcare, among others. Some of the applications in which PEEK material is incorporated to a considerable extent are engine piston parts, high-performance liquid chromatography columns, bearings, electrical cable insulation, pumps, and compressor plate valves, among others. Specific to the healthcare industry, the features such as durability, biocompatibility, and excellent resistance to extreme sterilization techniques, among others, make PEEK the best suitable material for certain pivotal applications, such as surgical equipment, spinal implants, orthopaedic implants, and dental equipment, among others. Further, PEEK is the only known material which can be incorporated in ultra-high vacuum applications. Owing to the aforementioned elite features, PEEK material is significantly incorporated in the fabrication of active implantable devices.
