Market Drivers:
Over the projection period, the market will be driven by rising government investments and initiatives to provide their militaries with superior protective gear. Soldier movement is impossible without protective equipment such as shields, plate inserts, bulletproof vests, war helmets, and armor. Demand for aerospace & defense products will increase because of government initiatives like SPS.
For wire ropes used in aerospace and defense, UHMWPE is more durable and secure than steel. UHMWPE is used in automobile seat components, belts, and truck shock spacers because of its self-lubricating and vibration-reducing properties. The market will be driven by the rapidly expanding automotive industry.
The demand for UHMWPE is one major element influencing the aging population. The reason for this is the aging population's increasing need for implants and healthcare. The elderly population is growing in nations like China and Japan. The high strength-to-weight ratio, self-lubrication, chemical resistance, superior dielectric & electrical insulation, and impact resistance of UHMWPE further contribute to its strong demand from producers of orthopedic implants and parts for medical equipment. Additionally, it is projected that the increase in E.V. would increase demand for UHMWPE because it is used to create lightweight electric vehicle components and acts as a battery separator in E.V. batteries.
Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene is used more frequently in the medical field thanks to its higher biocompatibility, wear resistance, and ductility. For the purpose of giving patients enduring implants, numerous research initiatives have been conducted to develop UHMWPE with superior mechanical and tribological performance. For use in biomedical implants, several companies have introduced products of the highest quality.
Additionally, superior prostheses with longer useful lives and greater patient comfort levels have been made possible by technical advancements. Additionally, there has been an upsurge in hip and knee replacement surgeries recently. The rising senior population in countries like Germany, the United States, and Japan is expected to drive demand during the forecast period. Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene is one of the polymers that is most sought after for usage in the manufacture of medical implants.
Market Restraints:
Steel, polypropylene, and polyethylene are examples of conventional metals and polymers. UHMWPE is a novel polymer with superior properties. Increased impact resistance, a low coefficient of friction, an extraordinary capacity for absorbing energy, and resistance to wear and abrasion are some of these qualities. However, these advantageous characteristics raise the cost of UHMWPE and are projected to limit its growth in the next years. Additionally, demand for the good has unfavorably declined across a number of industries as a result of COVID-19's negative effects on supply, transportation, and industrial output.

COVID 19 Analysis
COVID-19's influence on various industries was quite drastic as the disease's global case count rose rapidly worldwide. Based on observed occurrences in China and Europe, the U.S. construction industry faced comparable challenges, including disruptions to the material supply chain, labor shortages, and the closure of construction sites and various other operational activities.
Reduced material availability is expected to lead to aggressive buying habits and the potential to increase the national pricing of high-demand items globally. The inability to get supplies inevitably affected the overall rate of progress of sectors like military & defense, healthcare, electronics, and automotive, which resulted in a decrease in demand for ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, in addition to potential price hikes.
