The automotive sector remains one of the largest consumers of polyoxymethylene (POM), with increasing adoption in fuel system components, gear wheels, interior trims, and safety mechanisms. The industry's growing emphasis on lightweight materials to improve fuel efficiency and reduce carbon emissions is boosting POM demand. Compared to traditional metals, POM offers high mechanical strength, low friction, and excellent wear resistance, making it an ideal replacement for metal parts. Additionally, the rise of electric vehicles (EVs) is further accelerating demand, as manufacturers seek durable, lightweight materials for battery systems, connectors, and lightweight structural components.

Integration of AI in Manufacturing and Quality Control: Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing the POM manufacturing process by enhancing production efficiency, minimizing defects, and improving quality control. Companies are implementing AI-driven predictive maintenance in manufacturing plants to detect potential failures in equipment before they occur, reducing downtime and operational costs. Automated defect detection using AI-powered imaging and machine learning algorithms is also helping manufacturers maintain high precision and consistency in POM components, particularly in industries requiring tight tolerances such as automotive and electronics. In 2024, major players have invested in AI-driven quality control systems to enhance production yield and reduce material waste, further improving overall profitability.

North America dominated the global polyoxymethylene market, driven by rising demand from the automotive, electronics, and medical industries. The region benefits from advanced manufacturing facilities, stringent regulatory frameworks promoting lightweight and sustainable materials, and significant investments in R&D. The demand for high-performance engineering plastics in consumer electronics and electric vehicles (EVs) has propelled market expansion.
