Furandicarboxylic Acid (FDCA) Market Summary

Furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) is a raw material with commercial applications including surfactants, epoxy resins, and the next-generation polymer PEF (polyethylene furanoate).

Furan-based monomers made from 5-HMF are key components of new high-performance biopolymers such as polyesters, polyurethanes, and polyamides. Furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) and its dimethyl ester (FDME) are two promising monomers that can be processed into polyethyl furanoate (PEF) and other polyesters or polycarbonates.

According to the new market research report “Global Furandicarboxylic Acid (FDCA) Market Report 2025-2031”, published by QYResearch, the global Furandicarboxylic Acid (FDCA) market size is projected to reach USD 0.78 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 25.2% during the forecast period.

Based on or includes research from QYResearch: Global Furandicarboxylic Acid (FDCA) Market Report 2025-2031.

In terms of product type, currently Purity 99.9% is the largest segment, hold a share of 88.9%.

In terms of product application, currently PEF is the largest segment, hold a share of 91.6%.

Key Drivers:

1. The biomass-based FDCA industry is experiencing rapid growth.

As early as 2004, the U.S. Department of Energy screened over 300 biomass-derived compounds and identified 12 of the most representative bio-based platform compounds. Among them, 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) is a representative aromatic bio-based platform chemical and is considered the most suitable alternative to the petroleum-derived terephthalic acid. In 2011, Avantium built its first FDCA pilot plant in Geleen, with an annual production capacity of 15 tons. This marked the world's first large-scale FDCA production facility.

In recent years, driven by pressure from carbon reduction policies and government promotion and encouragement of bio-based materials, the biomass FDCA industry has entered a period of rapid development. Many companies have begun building pilot plants, and some have even begun establishing commercial plants. For example, Avantium is currently constructing a 5,000-ton annual FDCA plant in the Netherlands, which is expected to be completed and operational in 2024.

After more than a decade of initial development, the industry is currently entering a period of rapid growth.

2. FDCA is a precursor to polyetheretheretheramine (PEF), and the replacement of PET with PEF is a key trend in future material development.

Currently, FDCA is primarily produced by the oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), which is primarily produced by the hydrolysis and dehydration of glucose and starch. This has exacerbated the global food crisis and limited the availability of FDCA. Unlike HMF, furfural is currently produced industrially from polypentoses rich in corncobs, wheat bran, and sawdust, without competing with the human food supply. Furfural can be obtained by hydrolyzing polypentoses into monosaccharides under acidic conditions and then dehydrating them. Therefore, the carbonylation reaction of furfural with CO to synthesize FDCA is more competitive than the oxidation reaction of HMF in terms of both raw material cost and reaction difficulty.

FDCA has great potential as a terephthalic acid alternative. Its downstream product, polyethylene 2,5-furandicarboxylate (PEF), is not only more sustainable and recyclable than polyethylene terephthalate (PET), but also offers significant advantages in properties such as heat resistance, mechanical strength, and gas barrier properties.

Key Challenges:

1. PEF is not a direct replacement for PET.

PEF and other furan plastics face the same hurdles as bio-based PET, if not more. Commercializing these two resins requires significantly expanding new raw material supply chains and reducing costs to compete with traditional plastics. Furthermore, PEF is not a direct replacement for PET. To fully realize the performance of furan, bottles and other packaging will need to be redesigned.

2. Biomass FDCA production is expensive.

By weight, bio-based furan polymers produced from FDCA cost two to four times more than competing petroleum-based products.

3. The road to commercialization is just beginning, and there is uncertainty about the price of large-scale products.

As for the price of ton-scale products, most companies indicate that they have not yet built commercial facilities, making it difficult to estimate.
