2, 6-Naphthalenedicarboxylic acid is an organic compound with the formula C10H6(CO2H)2. It is colorless solid and one of several isomers of naphthalenedicarboxylic acid. It is a precursor to the high performance polyester polyethylene naphthalate (PEN, poly (ethylene-2, 6-naphthalene dicarboxylate)).
In 2024, global 2,6-Naphthalenedicarboxylic Acid production reached approximately 45.2 K MT, with an average global market price of around 6632 USD/MT.
The 2,6-Naphthalenedicarboxylic Acid (2,6-NDA) market is primarily driven by its growing application in high-performance polymers and specialty plastics. This compound is a key monomer used in the production of polyethylene naphthalate (PEN), a material known for its superior thermal stability, strength, and gas barrier properties compared to polyethylene terephthalate (PET). The demand for PEN in packaging, particularly for beverages and food products that require longer shelf life, is a major factor fueling the growth of the 2,6-NDA market. Additionally, its use in electronics, films, and fibers adds to the increasing consumption of this material.
Technological advancements in polymer manufacturing and innovations in packaging solutions are expected to enhance the adoption of 2,6-NDA-based products. The market is witnessing growing interest from industries seeking lightweight, durable, and recyclable materials to meet sustainability goals. Furthermore, the development of high-performance engineering plastics for automotive and electronic components is expanding the application scope of 2,6-NDA, as it provides enhanced mechanical properties and resistance to heat and chemicals.
