Polyethylene Furanoate Films Market (By Application: Packaging, Industrial; By End-use: Food, Electronics, Pharmaceuticals, Others) - Global Industry Analysis, Market Size, Opportunities and Forecast, 2020 - 2027
The market for polyethylene furanoate films is expected to grow at a CAGR of around 9.8% from 2020 to 2027 and expected to reach the market value of around US$ 412.2 Thousand by 2027.
Polyethylene Furanoate (PEF) is a bio-based polymer developed in 2000 particularly with the intention to replace the plastic industry's giant polyethylene terephthalate (PET). It's a 100% recyclable bio-based polymer produced using renewable raw materials (sugars) derived from plants. Moreover, its aromatic polyester made of ethylene glycol and is a chemical analogue of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polyethylene naphthalate (PEN). PEF has gained extensive growth in recent past years due to its high barrier properties to oxygen and carbon dioxide. It can also be integrated with the recycled PET bottles for further use in the packaging of beverages such as water, soft drinks, and fruit among others.
Market Dynamics
The increasing demand for packaged food, snacks, and ready-to-eat meals products is supporting market growth. Growing demand for sustainable packaging applications coupled with favorable regulations related to the use of bio-based materials is expected to bolstering the market growth. Government initiatives against the usage of synthetic polymers in several countries, such as the U.K., China, the Netherlands, Japan, and the US are further supporting the demand for bio-based materials. The increasing environmental concerns due to continuous degradation are further supporting the demand and usage of Polyethylene Furanoate films in the global market. The market is also gaining pace due to the increasing demand for PEF film-based pouches and laminations due to their high tensile strength and excellent oxygen barrier capacity.
Furthermore, the ongoing research & development activities in order to expand industrial applications over the forecast period are further projected to create potential opportunities over the forecast timeframe.
Segment Instance
Polyethylene Furanoate Films are sued in various industry verticals including food, electronics, and pharmaceuticals among others. Scientists in the construction industry are researching the usage of PEF films in roofing, water shielding, wall lining, and window flashing. Additionally, the usages are likely to increase in LED and OLED displays in near future. The rising development of bio-based transparent conductive film comprised of silver nanowires for flexible optoelectronic devices is further projected to create potential growth. The demand is also projected to witness major growth in solar panels applications due to its high thermal stability and low melting temperature. The ongoing investment in R&D activities by major players in order to take advantage of available opportunities in the market is supporting the market growth.
