Polyethylene Naphthalate (PEN) Market Outlook

According to the report by Expert Market Research (EMR), the global polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) market size reached a value of nearly USD 303.36 million in 2023. Aided by the increasing demand for cost-effective, durable, and versatile construction solutions, the market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 11.2% between 2024 and 2032 and reach around USD 787.77 million by 2032.

Polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) is a high-performance thermoplastic polyester known for its superior mechanical, thermal, and barrier properties compared to traditional polyesters like polyethylene terephthalate (PET). PEN is synthesised from naphthalene-2,6-dicarboxylic acid and ethylene glycol, resulting in a polymer with a higher degree of aromaticity and rigidity. This unique molecular structure imparts PEN with several advantageous characteristics that make it suitable for a variety of demanding applications across different industries.
