Different applications regarding the use of POM are circuit boards, switches, electrical housing, connectors, cooling system, wiring, and sockets, and they make mass production more cost-efficient and hence, fetching more profits for the manufacturers. The application of polyoxymethylene (POM) makes the electronic uses more lightweight and offers a much better reduction in heating appliances that in return increases the life and durability of the products. Severe government rules and regulations regarding CO2 release have made automobile manufacturers reduce overall vehicle weights and the use of polyoxymethylene (POM) in manufacturing different automotive parts remarkably reduces the overall weight of the vehicle and helps in the depletion and makes it more economical. The recent growth in the RandD expenditures in the electrical automobile industry has helped drive the global polyoxymethylene (POM) market share since it creates the vehicles more affordable and lightweight. The pandemic has driven the polyoxymethylene market opportunities for the product among the medical uses.
