During the second quarter of 2025, the polyetherimide (PEI) prices in the USA reached 11.74 USD/KG in June. As per the polyetherimide (PEI) price chart, prices were influenced by several overlapping market forces. Raw-material costs remained firm, with higher feedstock and energy prices putting pressure on producers. These upstream costs were difficult to absorb, and much of the burden passed through to resin buyers. Supply chain inefficiencies, particularly in global shipping, added to the cost of securing material and lengthened lead times.

During the second quarter of 2025, the polyetherimide (PEI) prices in China reached 9.57 USD/KG in June. Supply‑side pressures came from elevated feedstock expenses and production bottlenecks, tightening overall availability. Sources noted raw material cost pressures remained stubborn, shaping a higher cost backdrop even as buying faded. On the demand front, interest from electronics and automotive makers cooled as buyers held off on orders amid uncertain consumption trends and higher inventoried volumes.

During the second quarter of 2025, polyetherimide (PEI) prices in the Netherlands reached 12.58 USD/KG in June. Production constraints in key supplier regions resulted in limited availability, and Dutch buyers had to absorb higher costs tied to transportation and supply risks. On top of that, industry demand from sectors like aerospace and electronics remained firm, which kept upward pressure on prices even as supply stayed restricted. Environmental and trade regulations in Europe added another layer, increasing compliance costs and logistical challenges, which filtered through to end‑user pricing.

During the second quarter of 2025, the polyetherimide (PEI) prices in Japan reached 9.45 USD/KG in June. Japanese PEI prices reflected persistent feedstock pressures as bisphenol A and nitrobenzene remained costly due to production limits and high energy costs in key regions. Supply chain hiccups in Asia, especially in shipments from neighboring hubs, disrupted smooth delivery. At the same time, strong domestic need from the electronics, automotive, and aerospace kept consumption steady.

During the second quarter of 2025, the polyetherimide (PEI) prices in Saudi Arabia reached 11.04 USD/KG in June. Limited regional production meant most supply had to come from abroad, exposing buyers to global supply chain disruptions and elevated raw material feed prices. Energy and logistical costs remained high, and while that provided some cushioning to margins, it also added to end-user pricing pressure. Geopolitical and trade factors in the Middle East further complicated access, feeding into the local price structure.

Polyetherimide (PEI) Price Trend

Polyetherimide (PEI) Industry Analysis

The global polyetherimide (PEI) market size reached 694.60 Million in 2024. By 2033, IMARC Group expects the market to reach 1193.6 Million, at a projected CAGR of 5.89% during 2025-2033.

  • The increasing demand for high-performance materials in industries including aerospace, automotive, and electronics is driving the need for PEI. This is primarily attributed to its chemical resistance, excellent mechanical properties, and thermal stability which is influencing the market growth. For instance, domestic airlines such as Indigo, Air India, Akasa Air have nearly 1700 aircraft on order from Airbus and Boeing, with this number expected to rise to around 2000 by March 2025, according to aviation consultancy firm CAPA. According to the All India Association of Industries, the Indian aerospace & defence (A&D) market is projected to reach US$ 70 billion by 2030, driven by the burgeoning demand for advanced infrastructure and government thrust.
  • Continuous innovations and improvements in PEI manufacturing processes enhance the material's properties and reduce production costs, thereby boosting market adoption. For instance, in August 2022, SABIC expanded its optical materials portfolio with the launch of ULTEM 3310TD resin, which is well-suited for optical transceiver collimator lenses used in single-mode fiber optic systems. This new polyetherimide (PEI) resin delivers a significantly lower coefficient of thermal expansion than both standard UL TEM grades. A low CTE is essential to optimize the dimensional stability of the collimator lenses and ensure alignment with single-mode fibers. Furthermore, the new rate provides near-infrared (IR) transmission without degrading signal quality. As a potential replacement for glass, ULTEM 3310TD resin offers the efficiency of high-volume micro molding, avoids the need for costly secondary operations, expands design freedom, and lowers part weight.
  • The steadily expanding automotive industry along with the growing shift toward lightweight and high-strength materials in the automotive sector to improve fuel efficiency and reduce emissions is promoting the use of PEI in different components. For instance, the Indian automobile industry, which employs 1.9 crore people, generated a significant revenue of rupees 8.7 lakh crore with total vehicle production at 2.7 crore units in FY23, according to the management consulting services firm Primus Partners ‘India Automobile Sector Value Report’.
