Market Insights

The market size of PEI was just over USD 493 million in 2018 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.5% between 2019 and 2024. The market for high heat-resistant plastics is emerging, and unlike its parent market, plastics, the growth rate is significant.

The healthy growth of the PEI market is because of the increasing need for heat dissipation requirements in various applications such as LEDs, medical devices, cooling & heating systems, and consumer electronic housings.

Apart from this, the increasing demand for a lightweight and cost-effective alternative to metals and other specialty polymers for use as heat resistance in various end-use industries is driving the market for PEI.

The leading players of the PEI market are SABIC (Saudi Arabia), RTP Company (US), Ensinger Plastics (Germany), Rochling Group (Germany), Kuraray Europe (Germany), Solvay (Belgium), and Westlake Plastics (France). These players have adopted expansions, acquisitions, and new product developments as their key growth strategies.
