Global UHMWPE Market Worth $2.60 Billion By 2022. Global ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) market is expected to reach USD 2.60 billion by 2022, according to a new study by Grand View Research, Inc. Superior properties such as high impact strength, low friction coefficient, high flexibility and low reactivity to chemicals & additives makes it favorable for several applications across various industries. Surge in demand for joint replacement surgeries and PPE market is also expected to drive the global industry. Government initiatives to provide superior personal protective equipment and anti-ballistic protection to military and law enforcement are expected to develop the global market. High price compared to other polymers is expected to remain a key challenge for its penetration. Medical & prosthetics was the major application and accounted for over 28% of total UHMWPE market volume in 2014. Increasing geriatric population base in the U.S., Japan, most parts of Europe has increased joint replacement surgeries in these regions. Development of novel applications is expected to increase scope for the industry participants. Medical & prosthetics is also expected to witness highest gains over the forecast period.
