The polyoxymethylene market is expected to grow due to the increase in demand for high-performance engineering plastics in automotive, industrial, and electrical applications. The trends of increasing metal replacement and the expansion of electric cars favor the use of polyoxymethylene.

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.

Europe accounted for the second-largest share of the polyoxymethylene market in 2024

Europe accounted for the second-highest market share in 2024. The market in the region is driven by its strong automotive and industrial manufacturing capabilities. There is significant incorporation of engineering plastics in precision components to meet high-quality requirements. Constant emphasis on lightweighting and sustainability also promotes polyoxymethylene consumption.

BKA-Chef Münch dringt auf digitale Souveränität bei Ermittlungs-IT

14.03.2026


Zum 75. Jahrestag des Bundeskriminalamts (BKA) stellt Präsident Holger Münch die IT-Strategie der Behörde unter das Leitmotiv der digitalen Souveränität. Das Amt wolle vorhandene Daten für Ermittlungen deutlich besser nutzbar machen, ohne sich dabei in die Abhängigkeit einzelner ausländischer IT-Anbieter zu begeben, sagte Münch der Deutschen Presse-Agentur. In einer Zeit, in der Abhängigkeiten gezielt ausgenutzt werden könnten, müsse genauer geprüft werden, welche Produkte man einkauft und welche Fähigkeiten im eigenen Haus aufgebaut werden, so der BKA-Chef.

Im Zentrum steht für Münch nicht nur die Hoheit über die eigenen Daten, sondern auch die wirtschaftliche und politische Unabhängigkeit von Herstellern. Als Risiko nennt er etwa drastische Erhöhungen von Lizenzgebühren. IT-Fachleute verweisen darüber hinaus auf die wachsende Sorge, politischer Druck könne sich eines Tages in Form gesperrter Zugänge zu Daten oder sogar einer Fernabschaltung von Software durch US-Anbieter äußern. Vor diesem Hintergrund gewinnt die Frage, wie Ermittlungsbehörden ihre technischen Grundlagen gestalten, an strategischer Bedeutung.

Ein prominentes Beispiel für die Debatte ist der US-Anbieter Palantir. Dessen Analyseplattform "Gotham" wird bereits in mehreren Bundesländern eingesetzt, darunter Bayern, Hessen, Nordrhein-Westfalen und Baden-Württemberg. Der Hersteller betont, die Datenhoheit verbleibe vollständig bei den jeweiligen Polizeibehörden. Auf Bundesebene signalisiert Bundesinnenminister Alexander Dobrindt (CSU) jedoch nach Darstellung Münchs derzeit kaum Bereitschaft, diese Software für die Bundessicherheitsbehörden zu nutzen. Damit rückt ein eigenständiger Ansatz in den Fokus, der nicht auf eine einzige Komplettlösung setzt.

Münch beschreibt als Zielbild eine IT-Landschaft, die aus verschiedenen Modulen unterschiedlicher Entwickler besteht. Kernstück soll eine Datenintegrationsschicht sein, die das BKA am Markt einkauft. Auf dieser Ebene sollen dann unterschiedliche Analysewerkzeuge laufen – teils bereits vorhandene Systeme, teils Eigenentwicklungen und ergänzend zugekaufte Tools. Erst eine solche Architektur ermögliche es, bislang getrennt vorliegende Informationen aus verschiedenen „Töpfen“ gemeinsam auszuwerten und für operative Ermittlungen nutzbar zu machen. Für die Strafverfolger geht es damit um mehr als reine Effizienzgewinne: Die technische Infrastruktur wird zum zentralen Baustein, um Handlungsfähigkeit und Unabhängigkeit der Behörde langfristig zu sichern.
