SAN FRANCISCO, February 14, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --
The global polyethylene furanoate (PEF) market demand is projected to reach 16,640.0 tons by 2022, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc., progressing at a CAGR of 6.0% during the forecast period. Increasing demand for bio-based polymer products from various end-use industries such as packaging and automotive has been a key factor driving market globally. In addition, favorable properties of PEF over bio-based PET is anticipated to fuel demand over the same period.

Polyethylene furanoate is a 100% recyclable biobased polymer extracted from plants. It is gaining popularity as several companies are engaged in the manufacturing of 100% biobased bottles, films, and fibers. The product is likely to witness high growth as it can be widely used as a potential substitute for biobased PET on account of its superior mechanical, thermal, and barrier properties. Moreover, it has better tensile strength, requires lesser additives than PET, and can be recycled and incorporated into PET recycle streams at up to 5% of PEF without affecting the performance of recycled PET.
The carbonated soft drink industry is growing at a rapid pace and with that, demand for bottles has been on the rise. PET is largely preferred for the production of bottles across the globe. However, due to rising environmental concerns, the bottled packaging industry is slowly shifting toward biobased plastic bottles. As a result, there will be surging adoption of PEF in bottled packaging applications over the forecast period.
