Furandicarboxylic Acid Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Application (Polyesters, Polyamides, Polycarbonates, Plasticizers, Others), By End-Use (Textiles, Packaging, Carpets, Electronics, Automotive, Others) and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

The global furandicarboxylic acid market size is expected to showcase a substantial growth owing to the increasing demand for the production of bioplastics that propels the adoption of furandicarboxylic acid across the globe. Furandicarboxylic acid is an organic chemical compound and a derivative of oxidized furan subsidiary. It is also known as 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) and consists of two carboxylic acid groups attached to the central ring. Majorly it is used as a substitute for terephthalic acid and adipic acid, hence, it is preferred as a significant renewable building block. Furandicarboxylic acid is used in the production of recycled plastics and also produces polyesters, polyamides, polycarbonates, and plasticizers. These plastics are used in a wide variety of end-use products such as carpets, food packaging, bottles, electronic materials, and automotive materials.

The rising use of furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) for the production of bio-based plastics is anticipated to fuel the demand for furandicarboxylic acid market. It is considered as an intermediate for the production of polymers and PET plastic bottles and polyethylene furanoate (PEF). Furthermore, its ability to produce bio-based plastics is expected to propel its demand for packaging purposes. The stringent supportive regulations for the use of environmental-friendly plastics and research and development will help to fuel the growth of the furandicarboxylic acid industry.

However, the lack of availability of the raw material leads to high price of furandicarboxylic acid then conventional acid, which is anticipated to hinder the market growth.
