Stringent Regulations by Government Bodies in Various Promoting Use of Polyethylene Furanoate as Sustainable Material: Fact.MR Report
Revenue from the global Polyethylene Furanoate (PEF) Market is expected to reach US$ 88.2 million in 2034, as revealed in the recently updated industry analysis published by Fact.MR, a market research and competitive intelligence provider. The PEF market has been evaluated to expand at a CAGR of 8.3% from 2024 to 2034.
Governments in countries such as the United States, China, India, and Japan, to name a few, are implementing stringent regulations and policies for promoting the use of sustainable materials, including polyethylene furanoate, in several industries. Many countries have put restrictions on the use of single-use plastics, which is driving the demand for biodegradable alternatives, and polyethylene furanoate fits the bill well. Various government bodies are offering subsidies and financial incentives to companies adopting sustainable materials and practices, thereby encouraging the consumption of polyethylene furanoate.
On the flip side, the expensive and complex production procedure of polyethylene furanoate compared to traditional plastics is limiting its demand growth. Raw materials utilized in producing PEF, such as corn or sugarcane starch, etc., are a bit costly, compared to materials consumed in producing conventional plastics.
