Polyetherimide (PEI) Market

Global Polyetherimide (PEI) Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report by Type (Reinforced, Unreinforced), by Application (Sheet, Coatings, Pipes, Films, Others), by End-User Industry (Electrical & Electronics, Household Goods, Automotive & Transportation, Others (Medical)), Forecast Period (2020-2026)
    Update Available - Forecast 2024-2030   

Published: Jul 2023 | Report Code: OMR2022575 | Category : Chemical and Material | Delivery Format: /

The global polyetherimide (PEI) market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 6.3% during the forecast period. The growth of the market is attributed to the increasing demand for PEI from the end-user industry and heat resistance and transparency of PEI in comparison to other conventional polymers. PEI offers high strength modulus, and good electrical & insulation properties. In the Medical sector, PEI resins are suitable for both disposable and reusable medical devices. The PEI resins are both chemical and lipid resistant and are available in both clear and opaque grades, also they can withstand dry heat sterilization at 180°C, ethylene oxide gas, and gamma radiation. The separation, permeance, blood, and tissue biocompatibility properties make them suitable for use in membrane applications. High cost, low color ability, and cracking of the PEI when attacked by polar chlorinated solvents are the key factors that may restrict the growth of the global PEI market. 

Segmental Outlook  

The polyetherimide market is analyzed based on the type, application, and end-user industry. Based on type the market is segmented into reinforced and unreinforced. Based on type reinforced PEI is anticipated to hold considerable market share owing to its characteristic to carry the heavy load, to offer strength and stiffness. Based on application the market is segmented into sheet, coatings, pipes, films, and others. PEI sheets are anticipated to hold considerable market share based on application. These sheets are often used as high-performance plastic material to offer good thermal performance with high strength & stiffness. Additionally, this sheet is used as a flame retardant that can be operated in the presence of steam or hot water. Low moisture absorption and good dimensional stability in different environments are the superior characteristics of PEI sheets that are driving its market growth.  Based on the end-user industry the market is segmented into electrical & electronics, household goods, automotive & transportation, and others (medical).

Automotive & Transportation will be a considerable segment by End-user industry

Automotive and Transportation are anticipated to be a considerable segment based on the end-user industry. The replacement of metal, thermosets, and bulk molding compounds (BMC) by the PEI owing to its superior characteristics compared to other heavy material is anticipated to make considerable share to this market segment. Electrical and lighting systems such as headlight reflectors, fog light reflectors, bezels, and light bulb sockets are the major application areas for PEI in the automotive & transportation segment. In these applications, PEI is selected for its high heat resistance (up to 200°C), ability to be metalized without a primer, and its competitive systems cost versus thermosets. The under-the-hood applications such as the making of transmission components, throttle bodies, ignition components, thermostat housings, bezels, and reflectors.

Regional Outlook 

The PEI market is further segmented based on geography including North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Rest of the World. Asia-Pacific is anticipated to hold a considerable share in the global PEI market due to the rapid industrialization in the emerging economies of the region such as India and China. Further, the rapid adoption of the electric vehicles in the region to reduce the level of pollution and to take leverage of the government schemes and subsidies is another factor that is creating a huge market for the PEI market in the region. PEI is highly used in the automotive sector in various applications such as under hood components, interiors, and bumpers due to its high strength and high heat resistance feature.
