Polyethylene Naphthalate (PEN) Market Information: by Manufacturing Process (Acid and Ester), by Application (Beverage Bottling, Food Packaging, Electronics, Rubber Tires, and Others), and by Region - Forecast till 2030

Polyethylene Naphthalate (PEN) Market Overview

Polyethylene Naphthalate (PEN) is a polyester, which can be manufactured using an acid or an ester as a starting monomer. Ethylene glycol is the glycol monomer, common for both the manufacturing process. It exhibits superior properties such as high mechanical strength, dielectric strength, and good resistance to temperature, solvents, and chemicals.

Global Polyethylene Naphthalate Market is primarily driven by the increasing use of polyethylene naphthalate in packaging applications to improve the thermal and barrier properties. The increasing use of polyethylene naphthalate in food packaging is expected to propel the market growth during the review period due to its high durability and resistance to chemicals and solvents. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor & Welfare (MHLW) have approved the use of recycled plastic products such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) in food packaging, which is expected to augment the demand for PEN in the food packaging applications. These recycled plastic polyester are used in packaging due to their reduced energy consumption, low cost, and reduced environmental impact. Apart from packaging applications, PEN is widely used in films and pellet form to manufacture electronic parts due to high thermal and mechanical properties. Thus, the demand for PEN in electronics is projected to drive the market further. Growing use of the product in the manufacturing of high performance and rigid rubber tire is likely to boost the demand in the automotive industry over the assessment period. Additionally, increasing demand for the product in solar cell protection is expected to offer substantial opportunities due to the initiation of several renewable energy projects such as Huainan’s Floating Solar Farm in China and Tesla Puerto Rico Solar Facility. However, the volatility in raw material prices and the lack of availability of feedstock may challenge the market growth.
