PEEK ESD Market Anticipated to Hit USD 2.1 Billion by 2032; Expanding at a 3.76% CAGR

The PEEK ESD Market focuses on polyether ether ketone materials with electrostatic discharge properties used in electronics, aerospace, and automotive applications.
Published 17 January 2026

Polyether Ether Ketone (PEEK) is a high-performance engineering thermoplastic known for its exceptional mechanical, thermal, and chemical resistance properties. When combined with electrostatic discharge (ESD) properties, PEEK ESD becomes a specialized material designed to prevent static electricity buildup in sensitive electronic environments. This unique combination makes it an indispensable material in electronics, aerospace, automotive, and industrial applications where static control is critical.

PEEK ESD’s superior performance in extreme conditions, along with its ability to dissipate static charges, has positioned it as a preferred choice over conventional plastics and metals in high-tech industries.

The PEEK ESD market was valued at USD 1.51 billion in 2023. It is projected to grow from USD 1.56 billion in 2024 to USD 2.1 billion by 2032, registering a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 3.76% during the forecast period from 2024 to 2032.

Key Drivers of the PEEK ESD Market

  1. Growing Electronics Industry

The rapid expansion of the electronics industry, including semiconductors, printed circuit boards (PCBs), and electronic components, is driving the demand for PEEK ESD. Static discharge can damage sensitive electronics, and materials like PEEK ESD help protect components during manufacturing, assembly, and operation.

  1. Demand from Automotive and Aerospace Sectors

With the rise of electric vehicles (EVs) and advanced aerospace systems, components require materials that are lightweight, durable, and resistant to static electricity. PEEK ESD is increasingly being adopted for connectors, insulators, and housings in EVs, aircraft interiors, and aerospace components. Its high-temperature resistance ensures stability even under extreme operating conditions.

  1. Industrial and Medical Applications

In industrial settings, PEEK ESD is used in conveyor parts, gears, and housings where static control is necessary to prevent sparks in sensitive areas. In medical devices, its chemical resistance, biocompatibility, and ESD protection are crucial for diagnostic and surgical tools.

  1. Replacement of Metal Components

The trend toward lightweighting in automotive and aerospace industries is driving PEEK ESD as a substitute for metals. It offers similar strength and conductivity control but at a fraction of the weight, enhancing efficiency and reducing overall system costs.
