"Sheets segment to register the highest growth in the UHMW PE market"
Sheets is the most common form in which UHMW PE is used, and UHMW PE sheets are available in a variety of dimensions and thicknesses. The thicknesses range from 1mm to 100mm. UHMW PE sheets are used in conveyor belts in the food processing industry due to properties such as ease of machining, self-lubrication, and chemical stability. These properties are expected to drive the sheets segment.

"Healthcare & medical segment to register the highest growth in the UHMW PE market"
UHMW PE is widely used for orthopedic implants (knee replacements, hip replacements, shoulder implants, elbow implants, ankle implants, spinal implants, and bone substitutes, among others), cardiovascular implants (pacing devices, cardiac stents, and structural cardiac implants, among others), and other medical implants (gynaecological devices, otolaryngeal implants, ophthalmic implants, and gastroenterological implants, among others). Due to properties such as, low absorption and self-lubrication, fatigue resistance, yield strength, and high elastic modulus, manufacturers prefer UHMW PE over other polymers. Increasing demand for prosthetic implants from the developed economies is expected to drive the growth of the UHMW PE market in the healthcare & medical industry.

"The UHMW PE market in the Asia-Pacific region is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period"
The Asia-Pacific UHMW PE market is projected to grow at the highest CAGR from 2016 to 2021. Increasing industrialization and infrastructure development in the region is expected to lead to the growth of the UHMW PE market. The increasing middle class population has led to increasing urbanization and growth in the manufacturing sector, which is expected to drive the UHMW PE market in this region. China, Japan, and India are the major countries contributing to the growth of the Asia-Pacific UHMW PE market.
