Market Size - $79.3 mn in 2013, Market Trends – R&D on economically viable production process for FDCA. View complete.

San Francisco, California (PRWEB) The estimated market potential for FDCA is expected to reach USD 498.2 million by 2020, according to a new study by Grand View Research, Inc. Avantium’s FDCA production facility is expected to come online by in 2016 - 17 with annual capacity reaching 50 kilo tons by 2017. FDCA is expected to have great potential as a replacement to other petroleum based chemicals such as adipic acid, terephthalic acid and bisphenol A. The addressable market for FDCA as of 2013 was in excess of 50 million tons with PET and PBT being the largest applications.

The market potential for FDCA is expected to reach 498.15 kilo tons by 2020, growing at a exponential CAGR of 367.0% from 2014 to 2020, owing to the projected commercial production of FDCA by Avantium in 2016 using bio feed stock. The market for FDCA in 2013 was 40 tons with production on order basis primarily for scientific applications.
