\"What<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

01 | What Is POM Material<\/span><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Structure Determines Performance<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

POM is a crystalline polymer made from formaldehyde polymerisation and is divided into two types:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u30fbHomopolymer POM-H (e.g. DuPont Delrin):<\/strong> high degree of molecular chain regularity, better strength and hardness;<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u30fbCo-polymer POM-C (e.g. Kepital, Korea Engineering Plastics):<\/strong> better thermal stability for processing, less dimensional change and better chemical resistance.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Both have the following core properties:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u30fbHigh strength and rigidity:<\/strong> can maintain low deformation under prolonged loading;<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u30fbExcellent wear resistance with low coefficient of friction:<\/strong> suitable for sliding parts;<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u30fbExcellent dimensional stability:<\/strong> suitable for applications with high precision requirements;<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u30fbStrong fatigue resistance:<\/strong> can withstand long term alternating stress;<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u30fbGood chemical resistance:<\/strong> resistant to a wide range of solvents and oils;<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u30fbLow water absorption:<\/strong> low effect of changes in ambient humidity.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

02 | POM: Why renewed interest in 2025?<\/span><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

POM was once considered a \u2018mature, stable\u2019 engineering material and has been widely used for many years. But after 2024, the material is back on the radar of the raw materials trade and brand manufacturers for three reasons:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u30fbLightweight manufacturing upgrades:<\/strong> OEMs and appliance manufacturers are demanding \u2018lighter, more wear-resistant, and cheaper\u2019 structural components, and POM has a natural advantage;<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u30fbRising metal prices and processing costs:<\/strong> POM has controllable costs and low energy consumption for processing, making it a more economical alternative;<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u30fbThe supply chain is more risk-resistant:<\/strong> especially in the emerging manufacturing bases in South Asia and Eastern Europe, POM is easier than metal to establish local processing + assembly systems.<\/span><\/p>\n

For overseas moulders and OEMs, this means - the sooner they find a stable POM raw material partner, the easier it will be for them to capture the dividends of structural component order growth.<\/span><\/p>\n

04 | Global POM Market: New Opportunities in Structural Loosening<\/span><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u30fbJapan and South Korea Capacity Tightening:<\/strong> In the first half of 2025, South Korea and Japan part of the original POM plant overhaul, delivery fluctuations make the Middle East, Southeast Asia customers looking for alternative channels.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u30fbChina's export price-performance ratio advantage:<\/strong> the RMB exchange rate and freight rates are both low, with international competitiveness;<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u30fbEurope's green trend to promote the use of copolymer POM:<\/strong> especially in Italy, Germany, the market, the low formaldehyde release and part of the bio-based POM showed a tendency to purchase;<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u30fbStrong emerging demand for moulding and processing in India\/Vietnam:<\/strong> from sourcing to on-site processing, material suppliers with strong technical support capabilities are preferred.<\/span><\/p>\n

Juyuan Insights:<\/strong> In our Q2 2025 export data, average inquiries for POM increased by about 19%, with buyers in South America and South Asia focusing on wear-resistant structural parts and thin-wall injection moulding materials.<\/span><\/p>\n
