Market Size and Growth
As per the Aromatic Polyesters Market size analysis conducted by the CMI team, the aromatic polyesters market is expected to record a CAGR of 8.12% from 2026 to 2035. In 2026, the market size was USD 52.24 Billion. By 2035, the valuation is anticipated to reach USD 105.9 Billion.
Overview
As per the industry experts at CMI, the global aromatic polyesters market will witness a decent CAGR between 2025 and 2034. This could be attributed to increased demand for durable, lightweight materials in the electronics, automotive, and construction (insulation) industries. Stern energy-efficiency building codes are accelerating the use of aromatic polyester polyols to facilitate thermal insulation. Rising focus on ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) commitments is catalyzing adoption of bio-based, eco-friendly aromatic polyesters.
Key Trends & Drivers
- Expansion of Infrastructure to Spell Growth: Polyester-based products, especially in the form of insulation, coatings, and durable fittings/pipes (using polyester resins), are handsomely used in novel construction projects. Speedy infrastructure development does drive substantial demand for such materials. Development of better transport networks and better roads is generally correlated with rising vehicle production and economic growth. Aromatic polyesters are used in automotive parts for their lightweight properties, strength, and resistance to chemicals and heat, thereby contributing to the growth of the market.
- Demand for Insulation to Catalyze Growth: Aromatic polyester polyols are the basic components used in producing rigid, high-performance polyurethane and polyisocyanurate (PIR) foams utilized for thermal insulation in automotive and construction industries. The aromatic polyester polyols are reacted with various isocyanates for creating rigid foams, which are necessary for refrigeration systems, buildings, and industrial equipment.

SWOT Analysis
- Strengths: Aromatic polyesters do offer superlative strength with thermal stability. They are widely used in automotive, electronics, and packaging verticals. PET dominates the market by type of resin. Also, the call for sustainable products compels the regulatory bodies and is driving the demand for aromatic polyesters.
- Weaknesses: The raw materials for aromatic polyesters are derived from petrochemicals. This dependency on fossil fuels is looked upon as a weakness regarding the aromatic polyester market, especially as fossil fuels are depleting. Also, the initial investment is costly, which could be a weakness regarding the entry of the new entrants.
- Opportunities: Rising demand for lightweight materials for components of electric vehicles, growing utilization of polyester polyols in the rigid insulation foams, and demand for advanced catalysts with waste-to-chemical projects are some of the lucrative opportunities for the aromatic polyesters market.
- Threats: The environmental regulations regarding emissions and waste are expected to pose as a threat to the aromatic polyesters market, mainly due to non-uniformity on their part. Also, volatility of prices of crude oil may affect the profit margins. There are also alternatives in the form of the other high-performance polymers.
