# Daily New Materials Keyword Heat Analysis Report
**Date: July 23, 2026 | Categories monitored: PTFE, PEEK, Carbon Fiber, Advanced Ceramics, Electronic Chemicals, Aerogel**
## 1. Key Takeaways
1. **High heat, high growth**: PEEK (humanoid robots + NEV dual driver) and electronic chemicals (AI compute + import substitution) sit in the sweet spot of both search heat and demand growth.
2. **Price rebound**: After a prior ~50% price crash, carbon fiber leaders raised prices 10%–20% from January 2026, with market attention and procurement heat bouncing back.
3. **Diverging landscape**: Traditional PTFE segments (real estate / general seals) are under pressure, but electronic-grade PTFE is entering volume production driven by high-frequency/high-speed compute demand; PFAS environmental scrutiny is accelerating green substitution.
4. **Import-substitution mainline**: Advanced ceramics (semiconductor equipment parts localization rate only ~19%) and electronic chemicals (semiconductor wet electronic chemicals localization only 8%) offer the largest substitution headroom with the strongest policy certainty.
5. **Emerging blue ocean**: Aerogel is rapidly expanding from industrial pipe insulation into EV battery thermal-runaway protection and green buildings; global market ~US$1.9B in 2026.
