2, 5 Furandicarboxylic Acid (FDCA) Market: Snapshot

2,5-Furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) is an oxidized furan derivative. It is a very stable compound. FDCA is a natural di-acid, first detected in the human body. It is a promising bio-based building block for resins and polymers. It can substitute terephthalic acid (TPA) in the production of polyesters such as PET. It can be used in the production of a new class of polyethylene furanoate (PEF) polymers and bio-based recyclable plastic bottles. The global 2, 5 furandicarboxylic acid market is expected to expand at a significant rate driven by increase in demand from the packaging industry. The 2, 5 furandicarboxylic acid market was valued at about US$ 300 Mn in 2016 and is projected to expand at a CAGR of 8.2% during the forecast period.  

Factors such as rise in environmental safety concerns regarding plastic dumping and overflowing landfills, government sanctions making biobased packaging mandatory, incentives for green packaging companies in the form of tax rebates, and increase in consumer awareness about minimizing waste are driving demand for 2, 5 furandicarboxylic acid. One of the major factors driving governments to promote biobased plastics is the problem of disposal of conventional plastics. Plastics made from biobased chemicals such as 2, 5 furandicarboxylic acid, HME, PEF, etc. are eco-friendly and biodegrade. Rise in demand for packaging materials and the need for bio-based products are expected to boost demand for 2, 5 furandicarboxylic acid. Increase in emphasis on sustainable packaging has had a significant impact on the global FDCA market. However, high cost of FDCA compared to conventional polymers is hampering the market. Additionally, fluctuations in prices of petrochemicals used in the production of petro-based plastics have become an opportunity for biobased materials. Biobased plastics are prepared from naturally occurring materials such as cellulose, starch, and oil. These materials are easily available at low cost.

Asia Pacific was  a rapidly expanding region of the 2, 5 furandicarboxylic acid market in 2016. The market in the region is anticipated to be fuelled during the forecast period by increased awareness of biobased products, rise in environmental concerns, and increasing regulatory interventions in countries such as China, South Korea, and Japan. The market in the region is anticipated to expand at a rapid pace due to the flourishing packaging industry, favorable government policies for manufacturers, and the shifting of production facilities by major players from developed economies to emerging countries due to low labor and operating costs.

In terms of application, the 2, 5 furandicarboxylic acid market can be divided into polyesters, polyamides, polycarbonates, plasticizers, and others. The polyester segment is anticipated to dominate the market during the forecast period. 2, 5 furandicarboxylic acid replaces terephthalic acid and by using renewable EG, a 100% renewable polyester. The polyester has polymers’ characteristics of biodegradability and biocompatibility, which increases its demand. Governments across the world are encouraging the usage of biobased products, which is stimulating the packaging industries. Imposition of government norms against carbon emissions and plastic usage is responsible for the rise in demand for 2, 5 furandicarboxylic acid based products. Increasing awareness regarding environmental issues is a key driver of the 2, 5 furandicarboxylic acid market applicable to the beverage industry. Increase in the rate of urbanization across various regions around the world is an essential expansion indicator for the 2, 5 furandicarboxylic acid market.

In terms of region, Europe accounted for significant demand for 2, 5 furandicarboxylic acid in 2016. Europe held a significant share of the global 2, 5 furandicarboxylic acid market in 2016. Expansion in this region can be primarily ascribed to its status as a hub for developed countries. High degree of environmental awareness and imposition of strict government norms by the European Union to boost environmental friendly products are likely to drive the 2, 5 furandicarboxylic acid market in Europe. Asia Pacific was a rapidly expanding region of the 2, 5 furandicarboxylic acid in the year 2016. Rapid industrialization and changing behavioral patterns among consumers are elements accountable for driving the market in Asia Pacific. China accounts for a major share in the Asia Pacific 2, 5 furandicarboxylic acid market, owing to the utilization of bio-PET products in packaging applications.
