Polyetherimide (PEI) Market Analysis

The Polyetherimide Market size is estimated at USD 706.20 million in 2025, and is expected to reach USD 967.56 million by 2030, at a CAGR of greater than 6.5% during the forecast period (2025-2030).

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the polyetherimide market in 2020 and 2021, driven by reduced economic and commercial activities. Declines in construction and industrial output kept the demand low, but recovery is anticipated with revived trade and government guidelines during the forecast period.

  • The electrical and electronics industry is expected to dominate the global polyetherimide market over the forecast period due to the increasing consumption from the sector.
  • On the flip side, polyetherimide has high raw material prices that are a hindrance to the growth of the market studied, leading to inconsistency in the production quality and production volume.
  • The increasing need for heat-resistant plastics in the aerospace sector is expected to create lucrative opportunities for the global market.
  • The Asia-Pacific region represents the largest market and is also expected to be the fastest-growing market over the forecast period, owing to the increasing consumption from countries such as China, India, and Japan.

Polyetherimide (PEI) Market News

August 2022: SABIC expands its ULTEM resin optical material portfolio to help advance the adoption of single-mode fiber optics. This new polyetherimide (PEI) resin delivers a significantly lower coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) than that of standard ULTEM grades. ULTEM 3310TD resin offers the efficiency of high-volume micro-molding, avoids the need for costly secondary operations, expands design freedom, and lowers part weight.

The recent developments pertaining to the major players in the market are being covered in the complete study.
