[180 Pages Report] The Polyethylene Furanoate Market size was estimated at USD 40.15 million in 2023 and expected to reach USD 42.53 million in 2024, at a CAGR 6.18% to reach USD 61.12 million by 2030.

Polyethylene Furanoate, or PEF, is a type of polyester that is derived from renewable resources. Its building blocks include mono ethylene glycol, which can be produced from ethylene derived from bio-based sources, and 2,5-furan dicarboxylic acid (FDCA), which is made from biomass such as carbohydrates. The market for PEF encompasses the production, distribution, and application of this sustainable alternative material. Rising consumer awareness of environmental sustainability and the stringent government regulations of the plastic industry are driving the market growth. Increasing demand from the packaging and textile industry is also propelling the growth of the PEF market. High production costs associated with PEF, improper plastic waste collection concerns, and limited chemical recycling infrastructures could hinder market growth. The emerging adoption of PEF in the food and beverage industry, investments in the scalability of production processes, and the development of PEF recycling techniques are expected to create opportunities for market expansion.
