By grade, the low friction segment accounted for the second-largest market share in 2024.

The low friction segment recorded the second-highest market share in 2024. This grade is used in the movement and sliding of components in large numbers. Automobiles, industrial machinery, and consumer appliances are among the industries that use low-friction polyoxymethylene gears, bearings, bushings, and sliders to minimize wear and noise. This grade enhances the efficiency and service life of the components without external lubrication.

By processing technique, the extrusion segment accounted for the second-largest market share in 2024.

The extrusion segment had the second-largest share of the overall polyoxymethylene market in 2024. Extrusion is widely used to manufacture rods or sheets, pipes, and profiles of similar sizes. Cost efficiency and the ability to work around-the-clock make it popular in industrial applications.

By type, the homopolymer segment accounted for the second-largest market share in 2024.

The homopolymer segment had the second-largest share of the polyoxymethylene market in 2024. Homopolymers are more rigid, stronger, and have greater fatigue tolerance than copolymers. These characteristics render them applicable in precision parts in which high mechanical performance is needed.

By end-use industry, electrical & electronics accounted for the second-largest share of the polyoxymethylene market in 2024.

By end-use industry, the electrical & electronics industry was the second-largest end user in 2024. Polyoxymethylene is widely used for manufacturing connectors, switches, housings, and precision components due to its electrical resistance as well as dimensional stability. The increase in electronics production benefits the sustained demand.
