Polyethylene Furanoate Market Analysis
The global polyethylene furanoate market size reached US$ 33.5 Million in 2023. By 2032, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 55.8 Million, at a projected CAGR of 5.67% during 2023-2032.
- The polyethylene furanoate (PEF) demand is propelled by its ability to reduce the non-renewable energy use (NREU) and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions as compared to polyethylene terephthalate (PET). It is made from renewable resources, which makes it eco-friendlier as compared to petroleum-based plastics. The production process of PEF is more resource efficient as it uses less water and energy.
- PEF is also becoming increasingly popular for manufacturing bottles. There is a rise in the utilization of bottles for storing water, juices, mojitos, soft drinks, and alcoholic beverages. People are purchasing ready-to-drink (RTD) beverages due to their changing lifestyles. PEF offers excellent barrier properties against gases. It is also used for food packaging materials to extend their shelf life by protecting against oxygen and carbon dioxide. In addition, PEF is used in packaging films for food products to provide enhanced preservation and reduced spoilage. Furthermore, the increasing awareness among individuals about plastic pollution is catalyzing the demand for more sustainable alternatives. People are preferring eco-friendly and sustainable products that aid in maintaining environmental sustainability.
- The market share of polyethylene furanoate is further being reinforced by technological advancements in the production of bio-based plastics. These innovations benefit in making PEF more cost-effective and accessible to a wider range of consumers.
- PEF production is showing an upward trajectory as a result of its growing employment in automotive interior components due to its high strength and thermal stability. PEF fibers are used in automotive upholstery and seat covers to provide a sustainable alternative to conventional materials. PEF is suitable for automotive carpets and floor mats as it offers durability and ease of cleaning. The rising focus on enhancing the interior appeal and comfort of vehicles is supporting the market growth. Furthermore, the increasing adoption of vehicles because of rapid urbanization is contributing to the market growth. As per the research report of S&P Global, approximately 88.3 million new vehicles are expected to be sold worldwide by 2024.

Product Description
Polyethylene furanoate (PEF) is a popular bio-based polymer that can replace oil-based polymers. It is manufactured from renewable plant sugars. It is renewable, non-toxic, and recyclable, and has similar properties to traditional plastics. It has a better gas barrier as compared to polyethylene terephthalate (PET). It withstands higher temperatures and has a higher glass transition temperature, modulus, and melting point. It offers a superior oxygen barrier and good mechanical properties. Its tensile strength exceeds PET while rigidity is similar, making it suitable for producing thinner and material-saving bottles.
In addition, PEF permits greater lightweighting and superior thermal stability without heat setting. It assists in extending the shelf life of perishable products. It is also a preferred choice for labels and designs on account of its better printing properties.
