Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The escalating U.S. tariffs and rising trade tensions in spring 2025 are expected to significantly affect the chemicals sector, which is facing a disproportionate impact-particularly from tariffs on petrochemicals and intermediates, where affordable domestic alternatives are limited. Specialty chemical producers, who rely heavily on Chinese raw materials, are encountering production disruptions. Meanwhile, fertilizer manufacturers are seeing their profit margins squeezed due to tariffs on phosphate imports. In response, companies are increasing investments in R&D for bio-based alternatives, forming procurement alliances to strengthen purchasing power, and relocating production to tariff-neutral countries like Saudi Arabia.

The forecast of 8.3% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.4% from the previous estimate for this market.This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. This is likely to directly affect the US by raising prices for automotive and electrical components, with key supplies coming from Belgium and the Netherlands.The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.
The increasing demand for personal care products is expected to drive the growth of the polyphthalamide resin market in the future. Personal care products encompass consumer items used for personal hygiene, grooming, and enhancing attractiveness. Polyphthalamide resin, known for its high-performance characteristics, is utilized in medical applications, including tubing for catheters, toothbrush bristles, and other personal care items due to its superior chemical resistance, moisture absorption sensitivity, and dimensional stability. For example, in 2023, L'Oreal, a France-based personal care company, reported a record revenue of €41.18 billion ($44.72 billion), marking a 7.6% increase from the previous year. This growth highlights the company's strong performance across its diverse range of personal care products, including skincare and cosmetics. Therefore, the rising demand for personal care products is fueling the growth of the polyphthalamide resin market.
The automotive industry's expanding needs are set to propel the polyphthalamide resin market forward. Widely employed in fuel system components such as fuel rails, connectors, and modules, as well as in manufacturing engine covers and intake manifold components, polyphthalamide resin addresses critical requirements in the automotive sector. Recent statistics from the European Automobile Manufacturers Association indicate a substantial 5.7% increase in global motor vehicle production to 85.4 million units in 2022 compared to the previous year. Additionally, the automobile sector witnessed a notable 10% rise, reaching approximately 78 million unit sales in 2022, as reported by Brand Finance plc. This surge in demand within the automotive industry contributes significantly to the growth of the polyphthalamide resin market.
Product innovation is a significant trend gaining traction in the polyphthalamide resin market. Leading companies in this sector are concentrating on developing new solutions to enhance their competitive edge. For instance, in October 2023, Solvay, a Belgium-based chemical company, introduced Amodel PPA Supreme and Amodel PPA BIOS. These advanced materials are specifically tailored to address the increasing demand within the automotive industry. Amodel PPA BIOS boasts sustainable properties, making it an ideal choice for applications in e-mobility and other high-performance settings. With improved thermal stability and outstanding mechanical properties, these new products are well-suited for various automotive components, underscoring Solvay's dedication to innovation and sustainability in the materials sector.
