1. Executive Summary
On 7 September 2026, the six tracked new-materials keywords—PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene), PEEK (polyetheretherketone), carbon fiber, advanced/special ceramics, electronic chemicals and aerogel—are all in a high-attention, high-growth and increasingly fragmented upcycle. Four common drivers dominate: AI computing infrastructure, semiconductor localization, new energy (solid-state batteries / energy storage / wind power / hydrogen) and the low-altitude economy. Search heat and competition intensity are rising in tandem, while import substitution of high-end grades remains the most structurally certain long-term opportunity.

3. In-Depth Analysis by Keyword
1. PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene)
Heat: High. In June 2026 major fluorochemical producers raised prices across the fluoropolymer range by 5%; PTFE prices are up 23.81% YoY, ending the 2023-2025 price war. Global market size is about USD 8.5B, with electronics/electrical overtaking anti-corrosion as the largest application (31.2% share).
Competition: Medium-High. CR5 is about 68%; China holds 67% of global capacity but remains 21-35% import-dependent on high-end modified and ultra-fine grades. PFAS restrictions and fluorite costs are forcing out obsolete capacity, opening structural substitution space for short-chain fluoropolymer processes.
Trend: Rising. Semiconductor cleaning equipment, hydrogen electrolyzer seals and 5G high-frequency copper-clad laminates drive demand for high-purity dispersion resin (+8.9%); PFAS-free and recycled PTFE (rPTFE) become the main technology threads.
2. PEEK (Polyetheretherketone)
Heat: High. 2026 global size about USD 1.86B, growth 8.4%-14%. Demand is pulled by 800V EV platforms, humanoid-robot joints, semiconductor wafer carriers and CMP rings; medical grade (+11.2%) and carbon-fiber-reinforced CF/PEEK (+9.7%) lead growth.
Competition: High. CR5 about 78%; UK’s Victrex holds ~40% share, with high certification barriers in medical/aerospace grades. Domestic players (Zhongyan, Pfluon) are breaking through; localization rate rose to 28.7% but remains in mid-low tiers.
Trend: Rising. Continuous CF-reinforced PEEK via 3D printing is maturing (tensile strength above 215 MPa); low-dielectric modification serves 5G/6G and 800V drives; in 2026 China’s capacity surpassed Europe’s for the first time.
3. Carbon Fiber
Heat: Very High. 2026 global about USD 38B (+18%), 18% CAGR through 2031. Wind power contributes over 55% of new demand; 18MW+ offshore turbines lift carbon-spar demand +19.3%; Type-IV hydrogen-tank fiber reaches 18 kt in 2026, projected above 50 kt by 2030.
Competition: Medium. Large-tow localization accelerating—China holds over 55% of global capacity in 2026, T700/T800 at scale, generic-grade price down 12%. But T800+ self-sufficiency is only 31%; high-end small-tow remains Japan-dominated.
Trend: Rising. Low-altitude economy (eVTOL airframe composites over 70%), robot arms and EV battery housings form new growth poles; thermoplastic carbon-fiber composites pass airworthiness review for post-2030 series installation.
4. Special Ceramics
Heat: Medium-High. 2026 global about USD 128.5B (+11.5%); functional ceramics share rises to 58%. Demand is ramping for semiconductor electrostatic chucks, silicon-nitride bearings and solid-state-battery ceramic separator coatings.
Competition: High. Japan dominates the high end (MLCC and precision ceramic parts ~61% global); CR10 about 47%. Chinese firms hold 9 of the top-20 seats, yet high-end Si3N4/SiC self-sufficiency is below 30%.
Trend: Rising. Silicon nitride (+14.2%) and silicon carbide (+12.6%) grow fastest; 800V power-module insulation substrates, third-gen-semiconductor AlN substrates and biomedical zirconia keep penetrating; import-substitution window is opening.
5. Electronic Chemicals
Heat: Very High. 2026 global USD 74.2B (+9%); China’s market exceeds RMB 235B (+13.8%). Semiconductor manufacturing is 47.6% of demand; ArF/EUV photoresist, fluorinated specialty gases and advanced-packaging materials grow over 14%.
Competition: High. High-end remains import-dependent: G5 ultra-high-purity wet chemicals localization only ~12%, high-end ArF photoresist below 8%, some high-purity specialty gases below 10%; Japan/US/Korea dominate photoresist and gases.
Trend: Rising. Substitution shifts from “mid-low” to “high-end breakthrough”—EUV-support reagents, ArF photoresist and high-purity specialty gases are the priority breakthrough targets; AI compute and HBM expansion lift wet-chemical unit consumption +27%.
6. Aerogel
Heat: High. 2026 global about USD 5.8B (+17.4%); lithium-battery thermal-pad demand +45% YoY. From 1 July 2026, GB 38031-2025 “Electric Vehicle Traction Battery Safety Requirements” took effect, shifting thermal-propagation control from “optional” to “mandatory”.
Competition: Medium. Generic aerogel blankets face saturated capacity and price wars; high-precision, high-flame-retardant products for power and premium storage are supply-tight, with automotive-grade and storage-grade certification as barriers.
Trend: Rising. Policy-mandated substitution window; new energy (battery + storage + vehicle thermal management) and building energy efficiency (GB/T 46993-2025) are dual engines; ambient-pressure drying cuts cost and drives mid-tier penetration.
