The market for Polyetherimide (PEI) is projected to grow from USD 522 million in 2019 to USD 714 million by 2024, at a CAGR of 6.5%. PEI is a high-performance polymer with both ether links and imide groups in its polymer chain. It is used in high-temperature applications where fast dissipation of heat is essential. Due to its creep resistance, low smoke emission, and flame resistance, the demand for PEI as a thermally conductive plastic has increased significantly. PEI, along with thermally conductive fillers, is a cost-effective solution to metals due to lesser manufacturing steps and joints.

In the transportation segment, automotive is one of the largest end-use industries of PEI. The use of PEI has been increasing due to its ability to replace metal and other thermosets and bulk molding compounds. PEI is apt for applications that require high heat resistance, strength, and chemical resistance. The largest application of PEI in this segment is in the electrical and lighting systems, followed by under-the-hood applications.
With the rise of electric vehicles, reduction in weight, and increasing demand for fuel-efficient products, the automotive industry is undergoing a transition in terms of material substitution. Therefore the demand for specialty polymers is increasing. PEI is expected to play a key role in this transition of plastics replacing metals in the automotive industry, which is expected to drive the market during the forecast period.
The key countries contributing to the growth of the PEI market in Europe are Germany, France, the UK, Italy, and Spain. Favorable government policies are expected to provide growth opportunities for R&D in the electronics & semiconductor and automotive industries in these countries. The growth in R&D investment in the region is mainly driven by the automotive, information and communications technology (ICT), and healthcare industries, which is expected to boost the demand for PEI in the region.
The leading players in the PEI market are SABIC (Saudi Arabia), RTP Company (US), Ensinger Plastics (Germany), Röchling Group (Germany), Kuraray Europe (Germany) Mitsubishi Chemical Advanced Materials (Japan), Solvay SA (Belgium), (Denmark), and Toray Industries (Japan).
